This is a pretty good look at our offseason needs.

I disagree with a few things but obviously we have big needs

I sorta think that is crap. Seems like a very uninformed national media level look.
For example...we probably don't need a nose tackle. Bryant certainly showed enough that he could do the job adequately for a year or two. Not a big need.
And why is Jamaal Brown "going to do everything he can" to get out of DC? First I have heard of such a notion.

You are right. I should have stated I do not agree with all of the scenarios, but as far as addressing areas of needs, they are all there. I think we need a NT to rotate with Bryant, just not a 1st round stud. The Jammal Brown quote was definitely misplaced IMO.

I want either an interior lineman or a bookend to terrorize QBs opposite Orakpo. Our high draft picks spent on QBs and WRs have been failures over the last 20 years.

That's what I have been saying. Draft Von Miller, a center in the second, and hopefully try to trade players for a 3rd or 4th and draft Dalton or Ponder. I don't like any of the QB's enough in this year's draft to justify taking one #10 overall just b/c we need a QB. Take a talent that will be a long term starter for sure. Not a hope and prayer and ends up like another Campbell.

Von Miller would be my #1 target outside of Blaine Gabbert. Gabbert doesn't have the amazing potential like Stafford/Bradford, but he has shown the ability to succeed in college like Flacco/Ryan, who have both become very good quarterbacks. Jason Campbell was a stupid pick from day one.

I'll play a long.....
#1- There are too many teams ahead of us who need a QB also (franchise QB that is) so most likely Locker (if labled the best QB and #1 of this yrs draft) will be gone by our pick at #10.
#2- We don't need a RB. I still can't figure out why people still have their heads wrapped around this idea?
#3- Although we do need a bonified #1 WR, we need other spots more drastically. Such as a NT that can collapse the pocket (if the team doesn't see Bryant as that), another DE/LB to compliment Orakpo for the rush (and get rid of Carter), or any position on the OL (preferably Center and cut Rabach).
I hope we can fix the WR spot in FA either before the draft or after. Why is it always the skill positions people love to see the Skins pick yet the OL and DL stays mediocre and the skilled players can't move the ball?

Bingo. That, hopefully, will be the difference between a Cerrato draft and a Shanny draft. Shanny won't go all splashy skill position players. He has drafted some good linemen, on offense and defense.

Gabbert doesn't have the amazing potential like Stafford/Bradford, but he has shown the ability to succeed in college like Flacco/Ryan, who have both become very good quarterbacks. Jason Campbell was a stupid pick from day one.Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch about Gabbert (not just you, other posters, analysts, etc.)? What "ability to succeed" has this guy shown?
- He threw for 3593 yds in 2009, 3186 in 2010.
- His YPA was 8.07 in 2009, 6.71 in 2010.
- His TD/INT ratio was 24/9 in 2009, 16/9 in 2010.
- His last 5 regular season games in 2010 he threw for over 200 only once (208). His TD/INT ratio was 4/4.
I know he threw for a bunch against Iowa in their bowl game, but he was also 1/2 TD/INT. I haven't seen the guy play, am I missing something (numbers sure don't show it)? The numbers above are certainly not Mizzou-like QB numbers. By contrast, Chase Daniel as a Junior threw for 4306, 7.65 YPA and 33/11. Chase is about 5' 10" and likely a career backup in the NFL (sorry SS, I'm rooting for the guy too). Chase was a UDFA. Why would any team even consider Gabbert at #10 overall?

The Madden Football video game syndrome. The game is won and lost in the trenches. Always have been, always will be.
