1) Linderbaum - great value, would fill a long-term need, and Shatley's presence may afford him time to add bulk/strengthor otherwise prepare, similar to Little's progression last season.
2) Dean - again value and positional need put him here.
3) Watson - I favor him over Dotson solely on measurables (height, primarily), I think Dotson overlaps with guys like Agnew regarding agility and quickness type of play. We still need a guy to get the jump balls.
4) Dotson - see above.
5a) Ojabo - only if we do not take Hutch. If we trade back or take a tackle, this could be a value play. The team would have to have confidence in Smoot and Chaisson to carry the load in 22, though. If they do not, chances are the team would value a healthier (at present) OLB either equal to Ojabo or better, and take that guy instead.
5b) Pickens - Would probably be the last resort, assumes that the other four or five are already selected, and we are fixated on taking a WR. I'm not committing seppuku if we take him like some others have implied, but the concerns are there, and I'd be interested to know who else at other positions would be available at 33. I see this more as a needs pick than seizing any significant value. In fact, we'd probably be letting some really good players slip past if we are this committed to a WR.

Definitely. We're not gonna take back to back edge rushers.
