    I agree...That's why I said why not go All in on Defense and fix the receiver/TE spot via FA...Hopkins, Jeffrey, etc...There are guys out there with experience that could help for sure.

    they're idiots if they take anything other than a CB and ILB with those two picks. we need reuben foster's explosion. watching spence and williamson try to get to the flat is a nightmare

    I don't want Jeffrey...Just saying, guys will be there.....Just as good and can plug in instantly rather than grooming a new WR.....I say we go heavy Defense personally. We score plenty....We just need to stop the bleeding at pass defense and pass rush.

    Pass rusher and ILB should be the first two picks. You get pressure and you can get CB's in the later rounds. Allen/Barnett and Foster would be fine, or even Cunningham.

    Remember too, however, we have played some meh defenses. The true test in whether or not we need a WR in the draft will come from our game against Denver. If MM can't get the ball to his receivers or they can't get open then perhaps we do need to spend some resources in the draft to get a true #1.

    nope, over bargain binning CBs. it's gotten us nowhere.

    You have a much better chance of getting pressure and making a CB look good than depending on a CB staying in coverage for 4-5 seconds until the front gets a sack. That's a fact. One good rusher versus 3-4 CB's trying to cover.

    we are fifth in the league in sacks. we need a physical corner that can disrupt receivers at the los AND recover. they play off each other. i'm fine with another year of relying on orakpo, morgan and casey to get pressure. if we take a CB and an explosive ILB that can blitz and cover the flat it will do us a world of good.

    Yeah we definitely need ILB help....and certainly secondary help as well...Defending the pass has been a huge problem for years......Time to stop it. I am so tired of giving up leads etc.
