    2 Positions You're Focused On At #19

    Mine are DT/NT and OT. We have other needs at LB, QB and more but these 2 must be hit with talented starters.

    I believe Dareus, Kyle Williams and Corbin Bryant are solid as ends, when in a 3-4 look. Your rush will come from Hughes, Lawson and blitzes, if Rex wakes up and moves from "contain" to "attack". Need a true NT. Massive T.J. Barnes (364 lbs.) was signed late last year.

    I see 4 guys who I'd love to pick for this need. A'Shawn Robinson of Alabama, Sheldon Rankins of Louisville, Kenny Clark of UCLA and Andrew Billings of Baylor. All 4 can play over center and disrupt the run despite drawing the double teams. Frees up everyone else. Major need if Barnes is nothing more than a slob. These guys are all dominant players.

    RT screams for a new starter. Tunsil,Stanley,Conklin,Decker and Spriggs are all 1st round worthy. 1 or 2 will be there at #19. Spriggs stood out at the Senior Bowl Bowl and finished 1st out of 47 OT's in combine workouts. A former TE with 4.8 speed like Jason Peters. Great pass blocker who can add another 10 lbs. (303 lbs. currently). He's already very strong (31 reps on the bench) with a world of upside.

    Summary: It's hard to pass up starters at OT or DT/NT and this draft is loaded with quality at the top. If we get any of the guys mentioned above, we did well. If we get 2 of them, I'll be ecstatic.


    Your turn. 2 positions and the player options associated with that thinking.

    1. NT
    2. RT

    At 19, my realistic first choice would be Billings. He's a fast and almost inhumanly strong play making nose tackle, not just a space eater. I think that he would be great in this defense and free up Dareus, Kyle, and Hughes. We gotta find a way to beat the Pats, and a push up the middle and disrupting Brady is one of the few ways you can do that.

    A second choice is RT and realistically Conklin might be there. Unfortunately, having seen Crohn's disease up close I can't imagine Henderson coming back and playing well. It would have been nice to see how he would progress and finding him in the seventh round was a potential steal, but I can't imagine putting much stock in penciling Henderson in at RT would be silly. If Miller can develop or if Velasco beats him out for RG starter, our OL would look pretty good for the first time in a long time.
    Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

          LB/NT


          Still want Reggie Ragland and think that he would play a great leadership role in Rex's D. I wouldn't hate Darron Lee, but id rather go NT if Ragland is gone

          Probably Rankins or A'Shawn Robinson. Theres a few quality NT we could grab in this draft.

            OT. I don't have any confidence that this D will be top 10 this year no matter who we draft. I do however think this offense can get better . To dominate in the run game, we need an OL that can dominate .

                  I agree that if there is a no-brainer replacement for Kyle Williams then you take him. But remember Williams was taken with the #134 pick in the 5th round. So those players can be had later. If one of the top 3 QBs happens to still be on the board you take him over DT or OT.

                    I mentioned Darron Lee previously, with his 4.4 speed and ability to rush and cover. Ragland as an ILB with his ability to stuff the run but limited in coverage. I think you can get a MLB in the middle rounds, like Matakevich of Temple or Wright of Arizona. Nothing against your thinking at all.

                          Edge rusher/OLB and DE/DT. I think the first two picks will be front 7, but I think they'll look to add ILB's with later picks. Brown and Brown will be the starters, but they need depth.

                          I could see a Safety or OL in round 2 also, but I think a dynamic defensive play-maker and DL will be the priority.

                            For me it's about who will fall to the pick. I want most bang for the buck. But if I had to pick I'd go:

                            1) LB
                            2) DT

                            That said, I'd be fine with drafting Treadwell if he fell.

                              1.) WR
                              2.) RB or K

                              Oh wait... what am I focused on? I was just predicting.
