Quote:The one thing that I took from last year's draft class was that Dave likes his weapons. That may or may not prove out to be correct, but it's the impression that I got.

 

Yes, he took Joeckel at #2 and LT isn't really a sexy pick, but look at the rest of that draft. He took an uber-athletic in-the-box Safety in Cyprien, a long cover corner in Gratz, and then a dynamic slot WR in Sanders. Then he takes Robinson with his Fifth Rounder then goes to rebuild his Secondary with every pick after. He even bypassed a quality Guard in the Third just to get himself a DB that can affect the game.

 

He's stated that this is a deep draft for Offense, so that leads me to believe that he feels like there are weapons to be had in this draft. While I personally love the idea of Mack or Clowney playing LEO here for the forseeable future, I'd lay money that Watkins is the guy if he's there at Three.

 

I don't see this as a "get the big uglies" type of draft; I think it's a get all the weapons you can type.

 

 

Good post. I expect this as well with a couple lineman in the late rounds but the first 3 rounds will likely be a QB , DE and a offensive weapon at TE,RB or WR.

 

 1st round WR - Watkins or 1st round DE - Clowney

2nd Round QB - Mettenberger/Carr/Mccarron

3rd Round TE or RB. Maybe WR if we dont get Watkins in the 1st .

 

Only way i can see a lineman going in one of these spots is if one of the 2nd round O-lineman at the Guard position is there for our 3rd round pick and even then he debunked that last year with Gratz.
