[That Guy]

my draft board would start with any random fallers (though there's maybe a 1% of that happening).

that's freak drops for guys like curry, crabtree, monroe etc that won't actually happen.

after that I tend to believe RB, LBs, C, and most OGs are places where 2nd round picks will get you good starters at tiny contracts.

the 1st round is the best place to get franchise QBs, LTs, pass rushing DEs, and stud DTs. DTs are the safest bet, followed by OTs.

I wouldn't take mack, jerry, or lauranitis unless we trade down to the 20s at least.

at LB i like rey and lauranitis, though both are probably too slow to work the seem effectively in a cover 2 defense. I think lauranitis is a better value even if his upside is a little lower, since you could trade down and still get him.

at OL - any of the top tackles would be good, but I rather trade out of 13 for a pick (with say, the lions) if A smith was there. we need to come out with a guy to play now, and a higher bust % play at a spot we don't have a starter at is a bit risky.

trading into the second could get you a duke robinson, sean smith, or maybe even max unger (if he falls slightly).

at 13, the best picks would be oher or orakpo, followed by rey or trading down.

I don't think we're looking at RBs, this is a bad class for them, and we've got soo much money tied up in portis right now (and we can't cut him any time soon either). the problem last year was the OL, not portis. we'd be better off (imo) going oher (if he's there).
