I'll leave the most likely positions in the main choices. You can state another position if its not in the main options.

Depends on who is on the board at 15!!! But for WANTS in general, I'll go with WR.

a big tall wr that likes to hit and meet the defense head on like ward

I can't say I would reach for Benjamin @ 15, but I would certainly entertain offers to slide back a few spots.

i just think wr is too deep to waste the #1 pick on one

theres such value later on guys like robinson, mathews, montcrief, adams, cooks, can be had in rounds 2-3

unless evans or watkins is there id pass

gimme a CB fuller or dennard

You're right @ 15. imo Benjamin has more upside than any of those players...but I wouldn't take Benjamin, Fuller or Dennard @ 15.

Idk the kid, but the Steelers did meet with him...could be immaturity and squashed quickly or a major problem...I could also take Martavious Bryant, and put him in that grouping you mentioned in the 2nd.

My thoughts on this draft in general...you're right if the top 2 are off the board, go CB...I think any of the top CBs would be ST contributors, maybe some dime work this season. If he's a player, take over for Ike next season...I'm okay with that, but I feel that player can be had with the 2nd pick also...have not seen Dennard play, but I do like Fuller and these guys have moved up...it will take a 1st rounder.

WR & CB are the deepest positions of the draft… So either one could be skipped in the 1st round

I've come full circle on the 15th pick...Colbert is really in a great spot here...he's not pressed to find a starter for the '14 season...I still think if Haley were to use him like a hybrid/TE and gradually work on his blocking, Ebron is the modern day mismatch...imo has Vernon Davis potential.

Ebron imo would have the most impact on the '14 season of any rookie in this class.

Just draft talk in general...I'm getting the sense that teams could back off QBs at the top.

Clowney, Mack, Matthews, Robinson, Watkins...most GMs believe these are plug n play picks if your system fits the player. With that in mind...those guys might come off the board 1st.

HOU...I still say they trade the pick, but Mack is a possibility here, If they trade to 6, I think they will take Manziel.
STL...I think they would like Mack, but he's gone...Matthews
JAX...Clowney, they can't pass him up
CLE...Watkins, pro ready #2
OAK...Robinson, instant starter

Not saying I'm that smart, but there's no QB really worthy of going before those 5 guys.

Okay...now you have TB & MIN which might start the QB run...I could see HOU jockeying to get back in front of TN, STL and CLE to take the 3rd QB off the board. Point being...QBs might not fly off the board early tonight.

I want the cornerback position addressed with the 1st pick. Ike cannot go into the '14 season as a starting CB in this league. I realize that LeBeau hardly ever lets a rookie start in his draft year, but I think if a guy like Dennard or Fuller are on the board at #15, then Colbert/Tomlin need to pull the trigger

CB wouldn't bother me @ 15...but, however you shuffle them I think Allen, Gay, and Ike will be the top 3 CBs in '14 with Ike mostly likely sliding to nickel, and I expect a lot of S.Thomas in dime.

jmo, and obviously I could be wrong, but barring injury, I don't think any of the top CBs would even get much nickel time next year.

Couldn't agree with this more… This is why I would rather take a tall WR in the 1st.

People tend to lean on CB because of how bad the secondary was last season. But what most don't know is that the inclusion of Vince Williams on passing downs last season caused LeBeau to move Polamalu into a linebacker position for much of the season on passing downs. Williams was a liability on 3rd downs, so bringing Polamalu down put extra vulnerability on our secondary. That is one of the major reasons why our secondary was getting torched so much. There wasn't much safety help over the top!
