You don't pick a right tackle at #5, anyway. Right tackles are taken in the 20's of the first round and in later rounds.

It's a lot of very talented players that will be available on the interior line when we pick in the second round. We can get a day one starter at C or OG. At the first pick we have to get better up front on either side of the ball. The best player on the board will likely be a pass rusher. I think we really got a chance to do with our first two picks. What do you think?

Everything starts with free-agents. One writer tweeted they could clear $15 million in cap space, and have over $30 million in cap room. It is impossible to guess draft choices until most of the free agents are signed.

I would start with Stefen Wisniewski PSU 26 year old C from Oakland- give him $7-9 million. Then add some
plan B DBs. and a few other mid-level players ..... TE, OL, DL and ?

No $$$$$ free agents

According to CBS Sports, Gregory's closest NFL comparison is Aldon Smith, who was drafted by San Francisco, undoubtedly using a draft board that had plenty of McC input, with the 7th overall pick in 2011. Probably irrelevant, but interesting...

I still think if Leonard Williams isn't available, we need to trade back. You know there will be plenty of teams interested in moving up to #5, and we need lots of talent. Gaining several more high picks(a 2nd, a 3rd, maybe another future high pick) would be much wiser than taking a project OLB or a RT that high IMO. Williams is the exception because in my opinion, he's by far the best defender in the class as well as a safe bet.

I don't think it's wise to leave an elite pass rusher on the board. Due to the fact that they're harder to come by. In my opinion Shane Ray and Randy Gregory has the potential to be elite pass rushers. This team needs a pass rush just as much as we need OL help. With all of the issues we had in 2014 with our pass rusher I'm going to get the best rusher available. If someone is offering a good trade to come up to 5, I'll take it. However, I wouldn't just make a trade just for the sake of making a trade. We did that in 2011, and it cost us JJ Watt, an MVP caliber defender.

Smith was drafted by Baalke.

I would be surprised Leonard Williams won't slip to us otherwise he is my first round pick. Otherwise I am drafting Brandon Schreff or trading down to draft Ronnie Stanley.

Editing my previous statement: Good news because teams with QB needs will hopefully want to trade up to #5. That's it.

[Chico23231]

No surprise if Jameis is taken #1...whether its tampa bay or someone else at #1.

That, and at least two of the four teams ahead of us might be looking at drafting a QB, leaving more options for us.

IMO Winston's windup throwing motion alone knocks him out of the top ten at least and maybe the top 20. Just like Tebow's mechanics caused him to slide.

I like the TE from Notre Dame in the 3rd or 4th if he lasts that long.
