    His contract is not as big as people think. He only cost us $3M in 2011, and $8M in 2012. That's easily affordable for teams.

    I wish we could trade CJ for 3 good picks. If we would of traded him before last year, when he was fighting for a contact, we could of gotten ALOT. But now, RBs are on the down, most teams refuse to spend a 1st on a RB (unless it's a once in a lifetime RB). So why would a team give a 1st for a 26 year-old, struggling RB, with 1,172 career attempts already, and a huge contract?

    Nearly impossible to trade CJ. Only person that would of done it recently died (Al Davis). So our only hope is to improve the OL, give CJ some time, and hope he works hard this off-season. If we could get solid 1300+ yard seasons out of him, our team would instantly be 10000x better.

    Johnson and Jackson would be one hell of a 1-2 punch at RB.

    OL or DL? That is a tough decision. I'm honestly torn, which means as long as we pick either I will be happy. Obviously it will depend on what happens in FA, and who is still around with our pick, but just going off of who we have now I would say OL.

    If we can fix the OL and get the old CJ back, then have Britt healthy and start Locker, I think we could have a Top 5 offense, and we have seen how the elite offenses like the Pats, Pack, and Saints can make up for a terrible D. And as it stands right now, our D is already better than all those teams. And if our offense is able to sustain drives it will help out the D as well.

    While our D wasn't terrible this year, I feel that it is much further away from being a Top 5 Defense than our offense is from being a top 5 O, and it is much better suited right now to play with a high powered offense than to be the type of D you can rely on to win games. Just think about it, our D allows a lot of yards, but not necessarily a ton of points, and they aren't good against the run game. If we have a high powered O, then the opponents won't be able to run as much, and the D giving up FG's isn't so bad either.

    I think the pieces are already in place on O for the most part, so we might as well finish putting it together, then start working on the D a little more next year.

    i go with DL just for the fact that the pool at OG is much deeper than DE or DT.

    Consider me off the Zach Brown bandwagon(I was never really on it anyway).

    all i got from this video was that he isnt the best in coverage but most linebackers are made to stop the run first anyways and he takes some bad angles at times against speedy receivers....

    still got talent but i believe he slides from the fact that there are other linebackers that are better and a bigger need for in my opinion...still a heck of a talent just top 2nd round talent not first round...would i break my tv if we drafted him though? no
