Biggest need(s) in 2012 Draft

with our 1st round pick

1st round possibilities
OL/Safety — It sounds like this may be a lineman pick, as I haven’t heard a lot about top tier guys in the Safety class

2nd round
Safety/LB/WR(a fast WR) — Probably a saftey, Hopes replacement

3rd round
OL/ DE/LB —(this is where is gets washy cuz it depends on what the first two rounds were) —Linebacker to replace Witherspoon or DE to add to the young guy rotation…. not a lineman if we took one in the first already

Your concern for our pass rush from the DE position is deserved, but I think we would be making a huge mistake moving foreword without addressing the middle of our offensive line. It would be a poor buisness decision to surround your highest paid employee with sub-par talent.

I’m not ready to completely give up on Morgan and Jones just yet. JJ is also in his first full season as an NFL DE as well. Theoretically, this is Morgan’s first full season as well; not only in Gray’s defense but in an NFL defense. So I tend to give Morgan and JJ a little more slack then I would give a player who has been in the system and has extended playing time at the position. DE can be addressed in FA this year: with Osi Umenyoria being one of the big name DEs with expiring contracts. DE can be addressed after we take care of the offensive line, which I believe is the more pressing need.

Here is a list of how I think we should approach the upcoming draft:

1st Round: OG
DeCastro, Glenn, ect.
2nd Round: OC
Peter Konz, Michael Brewster, ect.
3rd Round: S/WR
Ray Ray, Marvin McNutt, Barron, ect.
3rd Round: DE
4th Round: OG
4th Round: S
5th Round: WR
6th Round: TE
7th Round: QB (Who knows, might turn out as the next Tom Brady. Low risk, High Reward pick)

I’m thinking LB, DE, or S, possibly O-line if a legit 1st round pick worthy guy worth the pick is there

1st round…OL (DeCastro…if gone, then Glenn)…….2nd round…S (Markelle Martin…if gone, then Mark Barron)…….3rd round…WR (Dwight Jones…if gone, then Rueben Randle)……..extra 3rd round…LB (Vontaze Burfict…if gone, then Audie Cole)……….4th round…DE (Melvin Ingram…if gone, then Nick Perry)……….extra 4th round…C (Michael Brewster…if gone, then David Molk)………..5th round…OL…….6th round…DL…..7th round…LB

Don’t forget what we are rank at the running game in this draft. My idea is to trade the #1 pick for a #2 and #3 and this it how it would go.
2) Monte Ball RB
2) Marvin McNutt WR
We need more Offensive Weapons For Locker!
3) OG
3) DB
3) DE “Comp for Babin”
4) LB
5) DE
6) OT
6) LB “Comp For Tully”
7) TE

We need a down hill RB how many times have CJ ran up the middle 2 times and only get 1 or 2 yards we need more of a RB threat look at Houston,New Orleans and Green Bay.

we could grab a center early (konz), then OLB (lewis OKL) or (david NEB), then a safety (ray ray MIA) and then use the free agency to grab another guard, (grubbs or nicks), and resign finny and griffin. As well as we are holding up this year, i think with a few additions we could be really solid next year. what do you guys think about the picks?

could also draft a guard instead of a safety and pick up tyvon branch in FA
