** If we tag Clements an additional 2nd or worst case third could be had.
1st Round: Haoliti Ngata, DT
This will be a wild card, because depending on where we draft he maybe long gone. For the first pick I believe the DL is the biggest need. With both our OT's performing well, there are no OG/C players worth going that high. And we all saw what losing PW did to our defense, or at least helped do. If someone like Capers came in and installed a 3-4 Defense Ngata is built for that. Trading down for an additional 2nd or 3rd and picking up Rodrique Wright DT, is also a viable option.
Alternates: DE Mathias Kiwanuka, DE Mario Williams, LB AJ Hawk
2nd Round: Demario Minter, CB
The only way I dont Go DB here is if Max Jean-Gilles OG is available. But I am sure hes long gone here. I think Rashad Baker is going to be a great FS, and if Clements departs it will be important to have quality depth here. At 6'0 200lbs, Minter is very close in size to Nate. He has 4.4 speed and has great leaping ability. He plays through pain and in general is actually very similar to Nate in his coverage/hitting ability.
Alternates: Will Blacmon CB, Kelly Jennings CB
3rd Round: Taitusi Lutui, OG
Iffy if he will be there, but I believe the 3rd round is where we add some good depth on both lines. We have two OT's who can anchor our line. Id likie to see Gandy moved into OG, but am happy with him at OT. At 6'5 and 373 pounds this kid is a wall.
Alternates: Ryan Cook OG, Greg Eslinger OG
3rd Round: Steve Fifita, DT
4th Round: Tony Palmer, OG
4th Round: Adam Stenavich, OT (comp pick for Pat)
5th Round: Kyle Killion, OLB
6th Round: Dwan Landry, S
7th Round: Shannon James, CB/S
