I would say that safety is a bigger need, because of doo doo Williams and dejon mustard back there

Compton and LeRibeus will both contribute next year, these guys take a lot longer to develop.

Nothing they do in the secondary matters if we can't get pressure, its been killing us all season. Worst defense in the NFL on third an long. Look at us against Romo with that line, still couldn't manage any pressure.

Compton could be like Ed Simmons was. Simmons was a 6th round pick, he started the year he was drafted 1987. In Compton's case, I think he will win the RT job next year.

LeRibeus will eventially be one hell of a guard. I cant wait to see how he develops.

Actually in 2008, Shanahan's last season with the Broncos, they drafted LT Ryan Clady in the first round. And in 2007, the Broncos drafted RT Ryan Harris in the 3rd round. Also in 2008, guess who the Broncos drafted in the 4th? Kory Lichtensteiger.

So I think it all depends on the team's circumstances and the players available. The one thing that you can pretty much accurately predict with Shanahan's drafts is that he probably won't invest a high draft pick to choose a running back.

Clinton Portis was the highest drafted running back Shanahan ever took. And Clinton was a 2nd round pick. Mike Shanahan's other running backs were taken in like the 4th-6th rounds.
