Season Is Over. What Position Do You Want to Draft in First Rounds?

[HammerDown]

You've seen your teams strengths/weaknesses.

What position do you want to draft in the first two rounds?

For the Titans

1.) DE - I want a dominant bookend to compliment Jurrell Casey. Titans fans would love to see the days of Jevon "The Freak" Kearse and Albert Haynesworth in their primes again. Mark my words, Jurrell Casey is going to be better than Haynesworth ever was.

2.) LB - Major need and there should be dominant Game 1 starters left in the 2nd round.

If I'm a GM, I always draft big, dominant defensive players in the first rounds.

Most Steelers fans will disagree with me but I go for a DT. We've missed Hampton at that position.

Round 1: TE I would like Amaro


Round 2: DE Michael Sam Mizzou. He may be a reach here but I am impressed with him.

 

[RoboticDreams]

1. Secondary, the most glaring weakness on the team.
2. Speedy wide-out who can open up the field for Kaep.
3. Understudy to "Cowboy." He won't last forever.
4. An actual backup QB who could come in and run the offense similar to Kaepernick.

 

[Doublejive]

Oline and WR.

Tebow?

Pass rusher

Are you assuming they don't retain Bennett?

I'd vote for an offensive guard myself.

We know how Pete and John work and they will end up with whoever they evaluate as the best athlete available when it gets to their turn. The draft is key for every team, but with this having to pay out some serious salary upgrades over the next 3 seasons, continuing to find raw talent that can translate into starters or first tier backups is going to be key for continuing to keep this momentum moving forward.

Round 2: DE Michael Sam Mizzou. He may be a reach here but I am impressed with him.

If I were the Pats, I'd draft the two best TEs available, making sure that at least one was a great receiver and the other could block. Big, fast TE's; at least 6' 4" in size and ready to catch passes and rumble up the field with DBs bouncing off just like Gronkowski.

Even if they keep Bennett I want them to have as many pass rushers as possible. A guy that can play inside and outside like Bennett would be best, but Scruggs may be able to do similar things when he gets healthy.

Chargers have a lot of needs. In order of importance:

CB, OL, OLB, NT, WR, RB

Telesco is definitely a BPA guy which paid off huge when he took Keenan Allen in the 3rd round when we still needed O-line help. He's going to have to get creative with the cap to add a few free agents as well. My prediction - Rivers contract is restructured and extended.

 

[RegentDenali]

Guard/RT (Oline needs love. It's our biggest weakness right now.)

WR (Rice is most likely done with us. We'll need a tall WO who can replace that role)

TE (Same with Zach Miller. Done. Not to be a Washington homer, but if we drafted ASJ with our last pick in the 1st, I would jizz in my pants. He would be a disgustingly good fit for this team. He can hold his own against NFL sized LBs and even DEs who would not find it easy to man up against him. Can block like a DE. Jimmy Graham athletic talent from growing up playing basketball and football. Great hands.

Those are easily our most pressing needs.

I agree two TEs need to be drafted but not back to back. If you get a chance check out Branchflower from UMASS a lot of potential there and we can get him later.

I realize we have a unique situation where we have been able to create more depth than any other team because the guys we have in the normally most expensive to keep roles are rookies, but we can't just overstock on any one position. As I said, the salary issue is going to be a problem after next season. You must work toward a solution to that NOW. Drafting guys that can study for a year and take over for one of the guys that is likely to get a payday that you can live without is going to be huge for keeping this going. Think of their first rd draft choice last year. Turbin can go and not cause us a drop as long as CM is developing the way they want. If you think we can lock up Bennett then we need to look at other positions that are going to cost us bank. That, or take care of our needs like Oline and WR. I think we all agree Rice is gone and they need at least one more quality WR, especially if you are at all worried about Percy playing an entire season.

It has always been tough for me to see teams draft some 5' 8" corner when there's a dominant 6' 6" DE or DT available. I just hate seeing early picks go to QBs or DBs.

Falcons: DE, OL, DT, and LB. We have more than enough skill position players but completely lack the big boys in the middle and a pass rush. I could see us drafting a TE at some point too but not until later.

What are they saying about Wilfork and Gronk for Game 1 next season? A badass load of a nose tackle to work with Vince wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Restoring dominance at those two positions would mean everything to your team.

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

We need offensive guards badly. Another corner. Maybe another safety since Bethea is getting long in the tooth and is much better against the run. Not sure if that kid from USC can step in and play center....shit, we need about everything but a punter and a quarterback.
