    I do like a CB with that pick, 4 or 5 I'd take

    I'd love Melvin Gordon at #33.

    Or, Vic Beasley. I believe due to his size restrictions some teams may pass. The dude can just play football though.

    I'm turned off by the size but yes he can play. We need a CB tho. I think value at RB will be high in the 3rd

    I agree... I love the CBs this year. I like PJ Williams, Rollins, and Peters

    I think with Pollard on the way out and no strong vet leadership in our locker room, I think bringing in a Peters would be a disaster if he were drafted in rnd 1 or 2. If you get him in the 4th or 5th, you can cut him if he doesn't behave. But choking a coach is a huge problem and his interviews will be huge!

    Based on how I think they translate as pass rushers. I saw Ray drop back in coverage a couple of times against South Carolina and it was ugly. At the end of the day though, if a guy can get after the QB there's no reason to drop him in to coverage. Just look at how Demarcus Ware is used. 3-4 OLB who rushes pretty much every play.

    That's why FA is going to mean more to us than most this off-season. If we sign a CB, then we can take that off the board in the 2

    You can say that for almost any position.

    That's why our FA isn't as much position specific as talent specific. Of course we want a superstar...WR (Dez, 26 or Thomas, 27), OLB (Houston, 26). Franchise tags and re-signings will knock some of these players out of our grasp as will if any of them don't want to come here. For any of the above that's left, we need the best offer on the table!!!

    Next tier is DL (Suh, 28 or DWilliams, 28), FS (McCourty, 28), OLB (Hughes, 27), WR (Maclin, 27 or Cobb, 25 or Torrey, 26), OT (Bulaga, 26), OC/OG (Iupati, 28), CB (Maxwell, 27 or Buster Skrine, 26).

    Suh and McCourty are not on the 'superstar' list because of their age. Suh is also not the highest priority as I think if we don't take a QB or trade down we will take Leonard Williams at DE and not sure we want to pay Suh a gazillion dollars to play NT.

    There are other guys like Clint Boling or Rodney Hudson or Louis Delmas or Rahim Moore or Kareem Jackson or blah blah blah but I don't trust the Titans GM or personell ppl to do their due diligence (see Levitre/Oher). I don't really want to overpay for average talent. If they think Rodney Hudson is gonna be a GREAT OC for us and they sign him AND he plays like it, I have no problem. If they overpay a below avg player again, this team is doomed even before they take the field!!!

    A quick note before someone freaks out. The above ages are not current ages but rather age of the player when next season starts. You will also notice a player like Knighton, Revis, Cromartie, etc missing from this list as there are no players above the age of 28. Knighton will be 29. For this reason I don't put older star players who would be great for a team going from 9-7 to Super Bowl contender but not for a 2-14 team. We have enough wasted cap.

    I'm curious if we trade to 12 w CLE if we'd take an OLB. Dupree, Ray, or Gregory would likely be avaiLable.

    Don't like Gregory, simply think he's Barkevious Mingo pt II. Dupree would be a solid pickup, could be a star. Ray is still a question mark for me, but his stats don't lie.

    Regadless, do we use our 1st on an OLB even with the signings of Morgan and Orakpo?
