The Gregg Williams defense needs great CB play to function, and I think it would be wise to shore it up with the 2nd rounder. From what I understand, there are a few real good corners available in the 2nd round.

There's more than one way to skin a cat though. We could just try to sign a temporary nickel this year, draft a LB with our 2nd rounder, and then worry about Springs' replacement later. I guess I'm just thinking it would be nice to take advantage of the CB depth now while it's there. Our 2nd rounder could yield a stud at CB.

There are a lot of good DB's in the 2nd round, but no studs. We went high at that position last year with Carlos Rogers, so IMO it's not a good idea to use another high pick on a CB.

I think it is when you have Ade Jimoh as your nickel and your #1 CB is getting old. What you did last year in the draft has nothing to do with what you should do this year. You draft based on best fit for your team, and it just so happens we need another CB.

Again, if we fill the nickel role in free agency, and then worry about Springs' replacement later, that's fine with me. Then we can draft a linebacker and I'll feel good. But I think nickel corner is a bigger priority for us than LB, given that I think Clemons is more capable at his position than Jimoh is at his.

I think they will go get a nickelback in FA after the draft. I don't think Ade Jimoh would be the worst possible thing there, as he has the potential to be better than Walt Harris. They could use some help.

As far as the draft, I wouldn't rule out DT or TE. But ONLY if the right guy falls.

I would personally rule those positions out. I think Fauria represents the blocking TE we need, plus there's Sellers, Cooley, Robert Johnson, and Manny White playing at the TE and H-Back positions.

I think DT is very settled with Griffin, Salavea'a, and Wynn comprising a 3-man rotation. Plus we still have young'ns there. I don't think these positions are priorities to address with our 2nd rounder, not when we have holes at Nickel and outside LB.

Good argument for drafting a cb first & I agree that w/springs near his twilight, we will need a guy in 2 years to start, probably will have to start this year some too.
DT & DE though are both areas of need. Daniels is old & If Evans leaves, we'll need some depth.

Cromartie might drop to us, and he's a stud. He would be a nice CB pickup in the draft.

Nobody thought much of Lemar Marshall or Antonio Pierce when they were promoted to starter, and they're stars now, so hopefully, we have more buried treasure in our depth chart at the LB position.

I wish Cromartie would drop that far, but I doubt it. I saw it as a possibility until Florida State had their Pro Day where I understand he showed his a$$, well that's what ESPN reported. When they said that I got pissed because I thought with his injury he would drop to us. If he does then great but I don't see that happening. As far as linebacker, I say use the guys we have. Unless something special comes along at a great bargain.

Dang ESPN! Let the cat out of the bag, huh?

Malcolm, I think I mentioned it in another thread, but I am with you on packaging some later round picks and moving up. How many of our 6th or 7th rounders ever make the team? Trade the whole draft and get a 1st rounder and then take the second day of the draft off!

Packaging the 6th and 7th round picks doesn't even work in Madden, but if some team's willing to trade for them, I'm all for it.

I am just hopeful! I guess those 6th and 7th round picks are where the scouting department earns their paychecks. Maybe we can find that backup safety that we need in case Sean Taylor is in a jail somewhere next Fall. I shudder to think about it.

What theJBexperience said. No one wants the whole damn package.

packaging every pick we have will let us move up a whopping 7-8 spots in the second round, to pick #45 overall.
