Come to think of it, I could see us getting Jones or Green if available, then R. Hudson from FSU or the C from P. State in the 2nd, and not even drafting D till round 5. I'm kinda feeling like the D made strides at the end of the year w/Bryant at NT & Carriker playing well. Guys like Rob Jackson & J. Jarmon could be the x-factors in our draft strategy. If the staff feels like those guys are at least good stop-gap measures that can play a lot, they might not draft D early.

You could make the same argument in reverse: Armstrong might develop into a more complete WR, Kelly might finally get healthy, and Austin will start to "get it," so that WR is not as acute a need as some people think.
IMO last year's draft was heavy on offense and the defense finished #31 so I am hoping for a defense-oriented draft.
