All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Where to go with the draft?

03-15-2012, 06:29 PM

I may be the minority but my thinking is that you can still go DE in the 1st round. My thoughts are I would rather make 1 area dominant for several years then make a bunch of stuff slightly better. Obviously you don't reach but if there is stud there, you could take him. I know this is a bit early considering FA isn't over and some of the holes could be filled but... Any thoughts?

Re: Where to go with the draft?

there isnt a de there that fits the value of 10. nix has repeated this twice now...

its LT, or cb... i think with nixs history of drafting corners, we take kirk... nix has stated there are 2 corners worth the pick at 10...

I didn't hear him say that. I heard him say he wasn't sure there was. Could be smoke screening. Wouldn't be the first time. I would be happy with another corner though.

BPA, period. Depending on how the first 9 picks go, obviously, one of the positions mentioned by Night Train will fit that bill.

No, I'd be ok with Claiborne, but I feel like Kirkpatrick would be a big reach at 10, IMO

Dee Kirkpatrick or Michael Floyd in the 1st.

No more school shootings, no more Ebola.

Obama would have thought of this already if he wasn't a pinko commie Nazi queer-loving wetback-loving Kenyan Indonesian Muslim.

That doesn't mean much considering the number of potential first rounders they have.

Re: Where to go with the draft?

If Coples is there, take him. I don't care who they have at DE, you can never have enough pass rushers.
