Alright White Boi J,
I've given some thought about it and came up with a more realistic pick.

Given the rules of the thread here's what I would do if I were VC, granted these player are on the board when we get to them. I'll do some more homework and post on the Vinny trades down thread of what I think he'll do. (What I'd like him to do.) Starting left to right, left being my first pick:

(13th) DT BJ Raji, OT Jason Smith, DE Everrett Brown, OT Eben Brown.

(80th) OLB Clay Mathews, C Jonathan Luigs, C Antoine Caldwell, OT Alex Boone.

(111th) OG Ray Feinga, OLB Zack Follet.

(173rd) DE Lawrence Sidbury, FB Quinn Johnson.

Under no circumstances would I get: QB, WR, TE, S, K, P, LS.

I can't see them going after another running back unless they trade Betts or Rock. I can't see either one of them leaving unless someone makes it really worth their while. If they had wanted another running back then they'd have picked up Mason. I can see them wanting another RB in the future in the mold of Barber and Jacobs. I wouldn't do it this year.

Seeing how Sellers is the only full back on the roster, they use him on special teams, he blocks for CP constantly, and they throw the ball to him periodically. I'd get another one in the last round or next year just in case he comes down the wrong way on one of those famous leaps of his.

If Rogers is traded or Springs isn't moved to safety and cut then I can see them picking up a CB in the last round. I wouldn't pick one though.

Our receivers are what they are and we can't sign more right now.

They've already stated that there will be kicker and punter competition in training camp, meaning Suisham and Plackemeir will have to compete with other journeymen. I wouldn't waste another pick on a kicker.

VC would be stupid not to go after the choices I've oulined at least at the position level. Everyone knows what they need. If they're smart they'll follow the same pattern for the next couple of drafts with a RB, ILB, and Safety thrown in for good measure. CP and London are getting worn down and I can't get that image of Landry getting run over by Jacobs out of my head.
