What your missing is most mock drafts are not accurate, just something to play with waiting for football to happen.Because of the combine he probably moved up one round. I suspect a 2nd or third.

You only make that move if your one or two players away. We are 7 players away right now. Plus no one will let you move up to 5 for just a 2nd rounder, no way in hell does that happen. At least 2nd, 3rd and 6th

He is probably a different type of player but he makes me think of SMC

I would love that draft and also the Matt S. signing, spot on.

Donald looks like he would be a great fit for our defense. Brings the production, health, consistency, and fire that would help our defense alot. So who will want him. There is always Lovie sticking his nose in there, but they have more glaring needs that another DT right now and they have G. McCoy to play the 3 T Dallas most definitely will be after him but they pick after us. Otherwise your normal good drafting teams will find a place for him. GB,SF,Seattle,and NE. So we should get the first shot at taking him and good luck to us. I think he is the man. If we cut Peppers,DE will become more of a need, but I think Donald should not be passed up. We can still get Crighton,Smith, or Martin in the next couple of rounds.

Them keeping Boggs for one more year probably says he may develop into our next starting OC.

Martin is not only fast had 82 tackles-21.5 TFL-12.5 sacks, very similar in numbers to Clownery

Its not if we draft Mosely, but he may be better at handling the Pros than Bostic was, hard to say, but he is the top rated MLB, if we choose to go that way.Every player has different paths to follow,but I think we need some leadership on our defense whether you think it matters or not.

One thing we know for sure is Emery likes athletic players, so that puts Donald in the front along with Hageman.

If its Bostic? way to many things to learn to become a team leader his first year. Urlacher didnt assume that role for a few years.

Not a combine DL thing, but seen where Archer/RB/Kent State run a 4.26 40 time Im thinking Trestman could find ways to use him in his offense, maybe a 4th rounder? At least take Hester's place on KR

If one of those top players drop, it may be beneficial to trade down and grab several picks for the privilege of our pick.

way to expensive for so many spots to fill, but would be the bomb.

I would not be upset over that, I think Mathews might end up being the LT with Bushrod moving over the following year.

He may not be as good at point of attack as those two, but got a feeling he will be a better pass rusher.

Who we wont be drafting in round 1 QBs- we will be solid at that position for the first time in years OTs- we will not spend this high of a pick with our line being built last year. OGs- usually not a first round pick and none rate that high this year OC- we definitely need one in the works but the best one is only rated as a 2nd rounder this year. TE-with Bennett being here, I think we tag one this year but wont be this high WR- possible but not probable, with Marshall,Jefferies an Wilson in the next up status here(maybe as BPA after round 3) DE- I think our biggest need DT- will be able to choice the top one at that spot LB- I think its possible our pick could be Mosley if he is the BPA at the time of the pick, I also think if Mack or Barr drops we could drag that into the BPA spot S- need, need, need, could very will be our pick,HaHa or Pryor, and would have no problem with those picks CB-we have the need and could be Gilbert or Dennard if they are there. I think Emery could surprise us with grabbing someone like Creighton/DE, Bucannon/S,(not rated that high) or Barr or Mack(because they dropped)

Emery stated they want to get younger, so the thought of bringing back all the old guys doesnt seem genuine.I think he is keeping the lines open, with everybody so that is some of his plans fall thru he will have lanes open for some of them guys to come back. I dont buy the Hayden signing just think its a second option. Wooten, Melton are younger players, so them being more of a priority.

I think as you do they we should load the box and let the best players win the jobs. I think Wooten is signed(you misspelled Wootton) more because he will be cheap, and not because they have great expectations from him. I think the FA we sign and draft pick at that spot will be expected to be the better pass rusher.

I think there going to draft and bring in FAs and figure out what scheme is best to run with what they have. I agree it will take two years, this year is important it get a playmaker somewhere, dont think everything will be determined by where SMC fits in the best. Bostic will be designated to fill Briggs shoes after this year, so he will either win the SLB spot or be everybodys backup. I suspect from previous behavior that Lance will come in in shape and play well, but also will be complaining about a new contract from the get go.

I think our top priority this off season is to identify and add a couple of leader types on the defense. As much as I think letting Urlacher go was needed , we did miss his leadership. Him being here probably wouldnt have made much difference in our final record, but he would have put the young players in a better place to succeed. Briggs,IMO, isnt a team leader, he is a good player with a big mouth. When he came back from injury, he was out of shape and team leaders dont do that. Tillman and Peppers, lead by example, not inspiration to the people that needed guidance. Peanut was hurt almost all year, and Peppers has lost a step. He had many games he just didnt show up. We need to add a couple of players that can direct the ship into a better direction that our defense showed us last year. Usually team leaders on defense are LBers, so I think the possibility exists we might be targeting a MLB in early rounds. Mosley fits that bill, and maybe Borland, or Skov could succeed in that spot. We dont have a MLB on the roster at this time, so Mosley could be a surprise 1st round pick for us. There are a few options in FAgency Beason-29 or a Butler-26, but more than likely D. J. Williams who didnt take that leadership role last year. Daryl Smith is a possiblity but at 32 this year is unlikely.

I have read they have had talks with Peanuts people, Ratliff's,Melton's. I think they want these players back but at their price, so that is why there not signed yet. They have a plan, we will soon find out, so as soon as they get these deals done or fail, then it will become more clear as to what the next step is. I think they will set up the draft to take the BPA and March 11 will be having things fall in place. Emery's first year left a lot to be desired but that year he got Marshall, and Jeffery, so it wasnt all bad. Last year the jury is still out, but looks promising, so we will just have to see what shakes out.

You have got me around to the thinking that should be our pick, but I suspect by the start of FAgency they will sign some of our players back,(i think Wooten,Melton,Ratliff) that they will be in the position to take the BPA and that might not be Ealy. After Clowney and Ealy, its a big drop off, so the possiblity exists they will both be gone. So I suspect the BPA wont be a DE.

With the SCM pick still looming as a failure, he will not take a Dee Ford, or a OLB

I think there are questions about all the DEs, but those have less of a risk factor. On the average 50% of the first round are disaapointments. Hope ours isnt one of them.

I agree with you about it will be a surprise pick, but think it will be one of these 5 Ealy/DE Ha Ha/S Pryor/S Donald/DT Mosley/LB
