We will draft a DB with our first pick.

Given that Walt Harris and Matt Bowen will be cut, and that defensive players are usually ready to play before offensive players, I firmly believe we will draft a DB with our first pick. The player will most probably be a CB. If you listen to the pundits, this draft is deep at DB and weak at WR. Gibbs will give Williams another toy to play with and give him another reason to stay right here. This will give us Springs, Rogers, Jimoh and TBD rookie at CB...

Re: We will draft a DB with our first pick.

ill agree with you there. a good de could be had with our next pick (even though id prefer OL depth) well get a WR in FA, possibly a DE too and draft at CB, LB and DE.

I think offensive line depth is pretty important now.

Definately. However we're in luck b/c we got two things working for us:

1. The draft is deep at the interior line positions
2. Joe Bugel is our O-Line Coach.

at our first pick the #2 OG should be there and some decent (not great) tackles will be left, as well as 2 of the top 3 centers.

Good Tackles are rarely available past the first round (Yes Jansen is one the Exceptions). By the same token I think a lot of 1st round tackles are taken as reach picks. Pro Bowl quality G's on the other hand can be found all over the draft.

still not as bad as QBs, some are taken at #1 as reach picks (like alex smith :P).

Re: We will draft a DB with our first pick.

Our second round pick will be the best player available. If there is a D-back who can step in at the 53rd pick, fine. I've seen mocks that have us drafting Maurice Stovall at that pick, and I don't believe anyone would be upset if that happened. I've seen Kamerion Wimbley in more than a few mocks as well.

Re: We will draft a DB with our first pick.

It's possible, but since CB is a deep position in this year's draft, an OL would probably be a backup, and a CB could be a prominent player in a nickel capacity, I'd go with a CB.

Wow, that's a run-on sentence...

definitely be a nice luxury to rotate in someone to replace springs eventually.

Re: We will draft a DB with our first pick.

Many of us are already discounting Springs, but I think he has a very good season ahead of him. Could be wrong, but that's just my gut feeling. Also, if his speed starts to decline, have him put 15 pounds on and he might make a nice strong safety. I'm just not sure if he's strong enough? thoughts?

Who is discounting Springs? I think he is in our top 5 defender list...

i dont think anyone is discounting springs so much as were saying he cant play forever and since the cb depth is great this year, we can get a good one in the later rounds
