Draft '08

[SmootSmack]

Well here's how I'd like to see it break down:

Offensive Line: I think we should spend multiple picks on depth on the line. I don't know that there is anyone I would take in the first round, but we need more than just one stud. We need to stock up on lineman in the middle rounds

Cornerback: Who knows what will happen with Springs next season. Rogers won't be himself until 2009 most likely. Smoot is struggling to stay healthy enough to be our nickel. And I still can't figure out why Macklin is never active. I was pretty high on Antoine Cason going into last season's draft and I am again this year. Another guy who really has impressed me this year is Aqib Talib out of Kansas.

What I don't want is for us to go after Asante Samuel. I think the money he'll command is better spent elsewhere. I'd rather draft one of the above CBs. Now, if we do go after a corner in free agency then the one guy I would take a look at (and he's not officially a free agent yet) would be Raiders DB Nnamdi Ashomugha (sp?).

Wide Receiver: Really torn here. I was clamoring for Bernard Berrian a couple of weeks ago, but if Moss is healthy and KM can play like he has been the past couple of weeks maybe we don't need him. Also, I wonder if Reche can't contribute next year also.

Defensive End: Jared Allen is the big name on the market and I wouldn't be surprised to see us make a go at him. But, and I may have mentioned this before, I heart Justin Smith. Plus he's having a down year this year so his price might be reasonable.

But I'll throw this out there for the masses, would you go after Javon Kearse? Word is he won't be in Philly next year.

So, in summary, CB in the first round, OL in the middle rounds, round off the draft with some QB. DE and maybe WR in free agency.
