  1. I love Lavonte David, disappointed that they didn't bring him in for a visit. Bobby Wagner's a good one as well, no visit either. Kuechly was the one guy they brought in at the LB position, Carder as well but he's a 3rd day guy. Seems like they won't be going LB early, but I hope I'm dead wrong.

  2. Ah- we can only copy the giants? Daren sharper did wonders for the saints superbowl run. Polamolu has been great for the steelers runs. Bob sanders, Ed reed....

     

    There are plenty of ways to win

     

    We have a fine safety in Byrd, no reason to go after one so high when we have so many other holes. Barron may be B.Meriweather, or Laron Landry, why is he immediately Polamalu/Sanders/Reed? Prudent use of resources it is not, if we didn't have Byrd then I would be against it wholesale. For this FO to be targeting him so high means they aren't planning on bringing back Byrd, only way this move makes sense.

     

     

    Or myopia...

     

    Is exactly what this organization has shown for more than a decade. Passing up quality DL for defensive backs and running backs.

  3. Rookie contracts aint what they used to be with the new CBA. Last year's #10 pick (Blaine Gabbert) ended up with a 4yr/$12mil contract.

     

    Safeties dont command a huge salary in FA either. We could re-sign Bryd, and even if Wilson is done after his current contract, we wouldnt have to worry about the backup FS spot until 2014.

     

    This could be done without having to break the bank.

    3m for a rookie safety and Byrd is going to command double that, 9m per year to two safeties. Then you have to resign Urbik and Levitre, Levitre will cost around 7m, and you still have Fred Jackson. Don't need 9m tied up in safeties. Did the Giants win the Superbowl because of their safeties?

     

    Don't need a safety, if this happens it'll just further the belief that the FO is generally clueless. Love how some of you are trying to convince yourselves that this is a good move, have to love cognitive dissonance.

  4. Byrd's a FA after '12, if they're targeting a safety with a first round pick Byrd may not be back here because you can't tie up all that money in the S position. You look around the league, and you teams normally have one good safety who makes the primo bucks and then a complementary S that doesn't make as much. Perfect example is Polamalu and Clark.

  5. Seriously? Coby Fleener.

     

    I will bet anything that if you match up the people on this board that want Coby Fleener it wil be the same group that wanted Toby Gerhart and Blaine Gabbert.

     

    Guys with feminine names like that get abused in the pros. I'll pass.

    If you're serious and not taking the piss, you're a certified fool.

     

    Fleener will be a great pro, doubt he gets past the Niners.

  6. isn't that what I said?

     

    No

     

    I'm sure if the top DE on their board is there they'll draft him, which means he is interested in the top DE's, whatever that means. But there may only be one guy they like, so the real news is that they don't have many first round grades on these top DEs.

     

    It's largely semantics, but it's important to not throw out the possibility of a DE. Maybe they feel Coples stinks, and that Ingram is the top guy, or Upshaw.

  7. That's not what he said.

     

    Chris Brown asked Nix his thoughts on the draft not having much depth at the DE position. Buddy disagreed, felt this draft was deep at DE, but not at the top of the draft. Nix feels that depth at DE exists in the middle rounds, starting in the 2nd, not much depth at the top, not many in the top 10.

     

    Didn't say he wasn't interested.

     

    Edit: Brockers is a pipe dream, they won't be taking another DT. He can't play end in a 4-3, Chan has stressed getting a 4-3 DE not a tweener. Mock an offensive tackle, CB, or WR because those will the targets.

  8. Like where? and Specifically, like who?

     

    For the love of king and country, please don't say another dang-blasted cornerback.

     

    How about a WR? How about Kendall Wright? How about a LT?

     

    I love DeCastro, but Levitre's a great guard and Urbik had good year. Both need to be resigned by next year, so it wouldn't shock me if they did take a G to add depth, but taking one so early when we have holes at WR, CB, DE, LB and T would be akin to taking Trent Richardson if he fell to us.
