Most teams try and draft based around those six match-up's. Coming away with a CB, DT and WR in this draft would enable some degree of counterbalancing their moves out. 

Darby & new CB Vs. Ridley
Armstead & new DT Vs. Cushenberry
Davis & new WR Vs. Sneed 

The key is finding a way back to balance offensively. Being able to run the football more effectively allows this offense to do a lot more. Having defenses do guess work instead of your offense doing half of the work for them is often why teams sink or swim at this level.

We have Campbell as well but teams need 3 good good corners.  I think we have to go BPA, if Bowers falls im taking him or if Fuaga falls im likely taking him as well.  Fuaga would help our run game big time.  This draft though matches up well with our needs and we should be able to get a good player at all 3 of three of those positions, or at least 2 of them depending on how the draft falls.  

Abolutely, you have to be balanced offensively and defensively.  If you have a liability in one aspect good teams will take advantage of that. We have to be able to stop the run as well, last year in the 2nd half of the season that was an issue for us.  I really hope Hamilton can come back 100% but I hope be bring in another big run stuffing DT like Jenkins or Sweat. If we dont get one of those DTs in the 2nd there will be some guys in the mid rounds as well but Hamilton back 100% would be the best thing that could happen to this defense.

The good thing is Sneed cant cover Davis
