We better be looking to win a lot of 14-10 games, because we've taken no shots at the best WR in this darft, did nothing to address LG or C, and still have a crater at one of our ILB spots.

While nothing would surprise me when it comes to our draft strategy (except maybe taking an RB early, that never happens though) I am hoping that we move up from 33 to help our offense in some way, whether it be an interior lineman or WR.

It helps your quarterback tremendously if you don't force him into a shootout every week.  

Sometimes, you need to stop the other team.  If you can't stop the other team, your quarterback will be a sitting duck.

How'd that work out for Gabs the last time we doubled down on pass rush? I guess the point was more that we have bigger issues than getting a sack. It's not that either Walker or Mafe are not good, but those two picks alone aren't going to make me think in any way that our team is set.

Sadly, the way this darft is lined up it seems none of our needs align with where our picks are scheduled. We're going to have to be mobile to maximize our returns.

Plenty more will be there in the 4th and 5th that I like too. Paul, Lindstrom, Poe, Wattenburg, Thomas, Waletzko, Mays, Bruss, Deaton.

yeah, between Agnew and then paying Zay, I don't see drafting any of the undersized, agile receivers that are gonna end up in the range we pick in second and third rounds.
