Ridder Me This Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Guys,After my most recent review of the front 7 and our defense, I really do not see us taking more than one front seven player in the first two rounds. Furthermore, if any 2nd defensive player is drafted, I could argue more that it should be a CB/S player depending on the Alford/Southward situation or a future DT...I can't see Babs and TJax making on this team beyond the 2015 season. That would leave us with 2 DTs...I honestly think we will take an offensive player in round 2, but who knows at this point. Look at what we currently have in the front seven. If we drafted any guys, where and when would they play?I can justify the pass rusher pick at #8 for the LEO, but after that...I just don't see it. Compound this with the 1 year "prove it" deals, I just think if 2 of those guys "prove it" we would want them back, so if we drafted a player at that spot, we would either move him (out of position) or he would be stuck on the depth chart?Currently 10 players on DLLEO: #8 Pick / Biermann / MapongaDT: Soliai / TJax / HaviliDT: Hageman / BabsDE: Clayborn / Goodman / ShofieldCurrently 8 players at LBWLB: Durant / Bartu / SpruillMLB: Worrilow / StuparSLB: Reed / Shembo / StarrCurrently 9 players in SECCB: Trufant / Adams / AllenCB: Alford / MabinFS: Southward / BakerSS: Moore / IshmaelThis is just me thinking aloud. I guess I see this draft probably addressing the team holistically and not just defensive front seven. It wouldn't shock me if after Round 1 (pass rusher), we drafted a CB/S or offensive players in round 2 and 3 (ie. OL, RB). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgafatboy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 i would agree, hope they go RB in the second though instead of secondary..if one of the top 3 backs are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman88 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 There is no alford and southward situation.. THIS BOARD is just trying to make a scene when theres not one.. Plus i can def see us taking a LB in the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would only take one DE in this draft and not necessarily in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't see anyone other than Hageman on the DL who is a sure bet to be here after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I wouldn't disagree with you. I was putting together a mock and got a couple of linebackers. When it came to putting my roster together, there was pretty much nobody on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollo lawson Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Go MLB or oline in the second. Time to build this team from within the right way with some plug and play talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runshoot Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 People need to get RB out of their head. Seriously.We will not draft a RB in the second. This offensive style does not require a high pick on RB. Alfred Morris , Forsett, Arian Foster all excel in ZBS running and were late round or UDFAs.

trubirdfan4life Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 who says quinn wants the guys that carry over? maybe he is looking to upgrade in the draft. if we dont get our guy, we stand pat....if we do.,...somebody has to go....pretty simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Im guessing RB in the fourth. Second round the best player available at LB or OL. WR in the third. A G in the fifth. BPA after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@ck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 In my opinon, the best playmaker available in each round should be taken.. We are missing that currently on the roster outside of a handful of guys, and we sure didn't pick up many in FAs.. so if in my mocks lately, i've been faced in the second round with the prospect of Gurley vs Stephone Anthony. For me going Anthony has usually yielded the best results.. my first four rounds have gone like this1. Edge2.Gurley3. Marpet/ Koundijo 4. Best Safety Availableor 1. Edge2.Anthony3. Ajayi/ Coleman/Langford/Best saftey Available4. Saftey/ David Cobb..Im almost always liking the second option better... Man i wish we had more clarity on the safety and guard positions. Seems like we should have filled one of those holes in order to be able to get solid day 1 starters first four rounds this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridder Me This Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think I was just showing that I don't think DE than LB is at all a "sure" thing for our draft... Based on having players on the current roster that with better talent around them and a new scheme, I could see these positions as holes more so than LB:OG, RB, CB, pass rusher, TE?, S?

AndySG Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It would be nice if we knew what we had in Schraeder. Is he good enough to be a competent starter or should we look at Fisher or one of the other tackles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he good enough to be a competent starter or should we look at Fisher or one of the other tackles?I agree. We know what we have in Jake, but where is he gonna play next year? My assumption is TD and CO. won't give up on Baker and Holmes for this year...So I guess we will go into the season with all four at OT. Starters would be Baker (LT) and Matthews (RT) with Schraeder and Holmes as backups. If Baker goes down, Jake will move to LT and whomever best Schraeder/Holmes will move into RT.The only real positition I could see us doing anything with on OL is LG, but even then we have Hawley, Konz, Stone, Carimi and FAs to compete for a C and 1 guard spot (assumes Asomoah has the other guard spot).When reviewing this, I could even argue that we wouldn't look to address the OL unless it was in the first three rounds. After that, no one will be better than what we currently have on our roster for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Not really any talent at outside rusher beyond the first round, except maybe Golden. I don't think our signings rule out a possible Mike or Will in the 2'nd though, if we go that way. Besides Durant and Worr, who do we have for those spots? I guess you could argue Reed for MLB but... eh. Imo the 2'nd pick should be an offensive talent, either an OG or a TE preferably, though it really just depends how everything falls to that point.

vel Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Been saying this for a while. We're pretty deep at DE, SAM, WLB and DT. NTs can be found after the first three rounds. MLB and LEO are the only needs in the front 7 right now, depending on Quinn's opinion of Worrilow. I would not be surprised if we went offense to maximize the value of the pick. If Roddy or Julio gets hurt, that offense looks like crap real fast. I think the defense, with any of Beasley/Gregory/Fowler/Ray is at least 20th as is. If either of our top WRs go down, we are looking at a less than 20th offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 it depends how we feel about our linebackers. I had Michael Bennett in one of my mocks as the heir apparent to Babs. Lots of options with that #2 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYLE Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I want a better MLB but maybe Worrilow will surprise meOther then that I'm ok with going offense in the draftWe don't defend the forward pass! Safeties, corners areneeded. It is hard to have too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of options with that #2 pick.That's the pick that could go any way literally. I don't think Bennett would be the best pick as I think Hageman would be a better heir at the 3T and I like Bennett. I'd rather take Marcus Hardison later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
