I've got to be honest, I've been checking out all of these mock drafts, and I'm not really encouraged with the quality of players prjected to drop down to our #13 pick. There probably won't be an OLineman available at the spot, Winslow/Taylor/2 QBs will also probably be gone.
With Mularky running the offense, I don't know that he would want to select a WR. Comparisons have been made, deservingly so of Reed/Ward. We probably already put up with the worst of Reed, and I think he will develop into a solid #2 this year. So unless say a Roy Williams falls to us, I don't see us drafting someone like Reggie Williams who may or may not be a reach at 13. Even if you don't agree, I bet MM thinks he can get the most of Reed. Maybe we'll use a later pick on it here.
Udezee, if still there, may be intriguing, but I wonder how much his stock has rose just because of the lack of any impact DEs this year in the draft and FA. Who knows, make Kelsay/Denney will finally step up. My solution in the meantime would be to bring in a nickel/dime DT who can come in and rush the passer. That should help out the pass rush, while still giving Kelsay a shot. That said, I don't know that it would be a good idea to get someone like Wilfork who would be expected to jump in and play 2/3 downs right now. We might be able to fill this role later in the draft.
What I'm saying is we should either trade up, or down. If we trade up, I sure hope it is Sean Taylor. Maybe a tagged Winfield and our #1? Milloy/#1? Who do you see willing to move down, and what will their price be?
Someone I really like in the later stage of the round is the C out of VT, Grove. What do you think we could get by trading down to the mid-20s to pick someone like him up? With some coaching, I think a replacement for Teague can make our oline top notch. Either keep Sullivan if hes willing to play RG, or go out in FA and pick 1 up.
Any thoughts?
