    Friday 2nd & 3rd round. What"s our next move?

    Okay we've vented but we got a corner. So it's done now how do we proceed?

    Double up on corner? Not likely. Safety? More likely. Bell if he is there and we brought him in likely on the radar. T J Green will be in the discussion n he also came in.
    D line players available with big upside include Robinson n Reed from Alabama. Billings , Jones ,Ward n Johnson are also linemen who fit our front and we are thin here so talent and need may match up. Dodd ,Nassib n Ogbah are talented but to me more 4-3 de's.
    OLB wow Jack likely gone but a medical gamble. I would pass. Cravens is a hybrid but I'm not sold on him as a olb in the 2nd. Spence would be an upgrade on JJ. Not sure if it's a huge upgrade but he would have to be considered. S Cahloun is a sneaky good olb who I like but to me he is a 3rd rounder and would look to grab him there.
    To me DL looks like an area where we could get a little lucky if someone slides.
    Thoughts on day 2?

    I'd gamble on Jack. I'm hoping one of those NT's slide to us, but kinda doubt it at this point. I'm thinking we'll either end up with a safety or the top rated defensive lineman.

      I think you have to go best Safety in Round 2 and like was said hope for Def Line to be there for picks 3 and 4.

      The wildcard could be an Edge rusher to prepare for life after Jarvis

      I think this is now the second or third draft in a row where Nose Tackle are sinking like anchors. Maybe now some on the board here can realize the game has changed and the days of Casey Hampton are gone forever. How about we all agree next year to not talk about "run stuffing" Nose tackles in Round 1. Ain't happening cause they ain't worth it.

        If Billings, Reed or Robinson (like him in the second much more than the first) are there, I think you take one of those guys. I'd also consider Hargrave.

        Colbert did not rule out a double dip at corner, and if a guy like Fuller was there, you'd have to consider him. The other position I'd consider is safety, unless Myles Jack is still there. I bet Jack is off the board with the first pick tonight, but if he is there, you grab him. Even if he only lasts a few years, a few exceptional years is worth it in the second.

        I'd also consider an edge rusher, particularly if Spence is there.

              What if Alexander is still there at the end of round 2?
              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                  I hear he is a locker cancer, but I would take him. But would start calling around who wants to trade up for him!

                      A trade up of about 10 slots to get Billings/Reed might make me tingle a little... If you told me the 2 picks were one of those two and Burns before the draft, I'd have been ecstatic - regardless of order selected.

                      DL, S, OLB, WR, CB, in that order, depending who is on the board.

                          No... just no.

                            Just went back and took a look at guys we brought in and Sean Davis S Maryland was in 4/11. Has good triangle #'s 6 1 200 4.44 and he played one year at corner but he is S all the way. Could be good fall back plan if that stud DL is not there.

                              there are a lot of #1 round talent still there... do we stay pat, trade up, or trade back and get more picks iin top of the 3rd that where there should be still be quality, like DT Hargave, S Powell, CB Young, CB Cyrus Jones, add in the talent that drops from the 2nd to the 3rd.

                              I would see how far Bell, Fuller, safety Thompson, and go from there... I think double dip at DB, add one LB, OL, skill player and the DL not in that order, but this draft is deep for rotation DL. ( not looking for starters)
