Draft Picks = 12th, 43rd, 74th Overall

At least someone is happy???

that makes us or breaks us, this offseason does.

With no CBA this is our chance to unload without cap hit expensive players for the second highest payroll in 2009. Wilson, Akin, Porter, Penne, and Torbor. Some of that money should be used to resign Fassano and Brown’s 5 mil he is due his last year of contract.

Dont expect anu real big FA signings for with no CBA a #1 WR would cost atleast our # and Parcells isnt trading the 12th pick of draft besides all these guys that with no CBA that are restricted would be unrestricted in 2011.

Draft expect all defense atleast in the top 3 rounds. Forget WR unless something odd happens. The FO likes the unit and the way Ginn played(with no drapped passes and better routes evebn though targeted less) will get another year at his fairly reasonable 1.5 mil contract. Next year besides unrestricted #1’a being available is also a very good year for feature WRs in the draft which you can get with a lower 1st round pick. If we are truely headed in the direction of being a contender yr in yr out then this draft position is the best we will have for many years and we better getb defensive playmakers. I expect McClain to be our pick and if gone and no OLBer Parcells feels warrents a #12 pick he will trade into the middle bottom of the first and snag a Hughes/Kindle/Spikes(unless Berry somehow falls to 12). I expect 3 lbers in first 3 rounds barring a great value FS or NT in rounds 2 or 3.

Dont be dellissional and thibnk we truely challenge next yr for a SB we have an older defense, two key members of it will be second yr corners, a 13 game starter at QB. We will wait on breaking the bank for a diva/stud WR after the defense is younger and filled with a couple plkaymakers

only okok thinks we shoukl shrugs

or if we go to draft a lb like mcclain… if go for a wr like marshall

and if McClain isnt there, then Bryant seems like the obvious choice.

in FA we will pick up some carreer backups on the cheap.
we will start the draft picking defense until the last few rounds when we MIGHT get a WO

NO big money will be used to pick up anyone that has any kind of big name or history

and lastly, we will AGAIN …. NOT ,,,,, get in the Superbowl

thats what this team needs, and if you don’t think so just look what the Steelers did to us.

Our defensive line and secondary are somewhat young (if you’re not including Ferguson), and our second level of defense has been absolutely demolished the last three weeks. Therefore, I am thinking we do a whole lot of LB shopping in this draft. I am of the mindset that we HAVE to take McClain if he falls to #12. And if he’s not, maybe consider taking Spikes in the second round or late first round (via trading down.)

All I know is our defense needs a leader, which is something both McClain and Spikes are for their respective teams.

Once we take care of our ILB problem, I’d like to address the OLB position with Hughes, Kindle, Sapp or Graham.

I like Dan Williams at NT, but I’ve come to the realization that our LB situation has turned into something ridiculously bad — to the point thatI am fine with re-signing Fergie for one more year so we can put off the NT position until 2011.

2010 is the year of the linebacker! lol
