What position do we go?

We are truly at a position to take BPA. I think we can just sit back at see what falls. Depth at OLB could be a concern...SS is probably the most glaring need though. I can't see us going DL in the first unless somebody like Dareus falls...which won't happen.

I would love Julio to go with Britt & Williams. The future would be incredibly bright with those 3.

Wouldn't mind Barron either.

 

Bruce Carter and Patrick Peterson are the best defensive players I've seen this year. Peterson obviously won't be available when we pick. Carter would definitely get "Bullucked" and sit his first year or two behind Witherspoon.

 

I'm going to make a wild guess and say we draft Stefen Wisniewski. Stefen is 6'3 300, C for Penn State, could play OG. He's everything Fisher likes: a senior and intellegent. Here's Stefens page: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272625. Basically to some it up, he's a smart kid (3.87 GPA) and his uncles was a 8-time all-pro in the NFL.

So I'm saying we take Stefen. Then S, LB, DE, CB (in no particular order).

 

We'll never take an interior lineman in the first round.

 

Best player available is how we should draft. S, DT, WR, RB, OL are our biggest needs. A TE later in the draft could help too. One player I really like is Nick Fairley, DT from Auburn, but I don't know if he will come out this year or not. I have watched him a few games this year and he gets so much penetration. Ian Williams from Notre Dame has been very impressive too, although he just suffered an injury and will miss 3-4 weeks. I know DE is not a need, but I would love to see what Washburn could do with Greg Romeus. You can never have enough pass rushers.

 

Someone like Travis Lewis at OLB wouldn't be a bad pick but I really want to bulk up our offensive options, I think our defence is already good and most positions could be addressed in the later rounds. If Julio Jones dropped to us we would have to take him.

 

I hope we don't take an OLB first. Witherspoon has stepped up big, McRath has sooooo much potential. Plus we have young gun Rennie Curran to show us what he can do. An OLB 1st would be silly, maybe 3rd round.

As for WR, I seriously doubt we'd take a WR. Which I agree would be sweet, especially Julio Jones. But we'd be loaded at WR: Britt - Washington - Gage - Williams. I dont think WR is a big need for us right now.

 

I agree its not a big need but the potential and prospect of a guy like Julio Jones would be too great to pass if he dropped don't you agree? The guy is an athletic beast. I seriously don't think we have a major concern in any position from a starting standpoint, its just depth in certain positions. Granted Witherspoon is playing well and so is McRath but passed them im not sure you can trust Winborn or Curran (who could be a great player) just yet. SS may be the way we go but tbh i'd be happy with any position as long as we take the best player for our team.

 

Amen. Don't think he would fall as far down as 32. What a player! Pro-bowler fo sho!

I thought Gage was FA at the end of this season? Julio Jones would be a no brainer for us, for BPA!

Can anyone grade the draft next year? Is it particularly loaded at a particular position.

 

I talked to my ex-roommate about this he told me if he ran the Titans he would do what Fisher wants (he's Pro-Fisher Anti-Vince) which would be trade our 1st Round Pick for a high 2nd Round and draft QB Christian Ponder from FSU (he's also a Florida State fan)
