I would be very happy if we got Mallet in round 1 and Justin Blackmon in round 2, although I'm not sure Blackmon makes it out of the first round. He's a freakin beast.
Last I heard, Blackmon's not coming out. Current buzz is we hope to trade down to still get a QB and someone who can complement Orakpo. Looking for another pass rusher. Defense, rightly so, feels predictable when Orakpo is out there. Coaches felt one reason they played well this weekend was because the Jags didn't know what to expect with Alexander, Wilson, and Jackson.

That's surprising about Blackmon. I know AJ Green is amazing, but IMO Blackmon is more physical, and not too far behind talent wise. I think if you're going to be a sure-fire first round pick, you gotta go pro. You can always go get your degree once you've made your millions and taken care of your family.
I like the idea of trading down, as long as we're still targeting a QB that we plan on making "the guy." We need more picks. I'm all about moving down in the 1st round if it nets us another 1st or 2nd rounder. Good points about Rak. If we're all in on this switch to a 3-4, we need a lot of new personnel.
We definitely need another strong pass rusher.

Mleh. I think he has mediocre written all over him.
Looks like a competitor to me. I think he'll look good with NFL talent around him. Potential franchis QB.

Locker has "it" he's going to be a good one, pass on Mallett... Dan McGwire 2.0

That would be the bomb Matty if we could get a Suh type of guy to help out Orakpo. Luck and Green are gone for sure, and probably the QB from Missouri. Tony Shaw has bumped him up to the second best QB in the draft as of last night. That could change if Newton shoots some duck next week. I think if the Mizzou QB stays in we can get him next season or get a potential steal in the 2nd or 3rd round in a guy like Persa(if healthy), or some similar QB talent that is solid.

Only a few SS... I've been on other projects, but I watched Locker last night. I think with talent around him and some good coaching he'll be a pro bowl QB in the NFL.
His passing stats were not impressive, but he forced no throws and is very athletic.
