mallet is the pick.

Sorry to say, But Mallet is not even listed in the top 50 players. Might be there in round three since most Qb needy teams already blew there wad and drafted one. Wait and let him slide. The players listed are rated on draftek as the top. Bowers was left out because he is damaged goods and not a fit for a 3-4 defense.

It depends on whether or not the staff believes Dalton, Kaepernick, or Mallett is capable of being a real Franchise QB - the kind that will allow us to pass on QB's for the next seven to ten years and will make us competitive each and every year. There's such a mixed review on these guys - to me, Mallett looks like a better version of Flacco, Kaepernick looks like a poor man's Newton, but might very well end up being just as good, and Dalton might also be a surprise - sort of a Brees type... so, if they really like the upside of any of these then I think you do go for it.

 

Also, we should be looking at an OLB type who can be a 4-3 DE, too. Someone who is in the 265-285lb range who can be an OLB in our base, and shift to the DE when we go 4-3 look hybrid fashion. Who fits that mold? Brooks Reed? Jabaal Sheard? Houston? Can't overlook Bowers! If we pass him physically, imagine walking away from round 2 with 2 of the top 3 overall defensive talents just a month ago, in most mocks!

 

Then there is Rudolph, if he's available.

 

I think if you go QB with the second you still have a chance of landing a good LB in the third, and a decent TE in the fourth, so that would be my choice, unless there is a D-line or hybrid OLB type at 34 who is just too good to pass up, like a Sheard, Austin, or Ballard. Maybe Wilson is seen as borderline first round talent, and would be an immediate starter at either OLB or inside linebacker. I read somewhere that Brooks Reed has very similar measurables as Clay Matthews. Again, though, if they want a QB of the future, I think they have to get him here at 2. They can get RT in F.A., and a TE later in the draft, as well as LB's.

Pass on QB's ntil the third. Most teams that needed a QB picked one, Accept Arizona. Carolina, Tenneesee, Minnesota and Jacksonville got one. So the chances that either Mallet Dalton or Kaepernick slide into the third are high. Dont reach let the draft come to you.

 

None of my top 4 players are on your list.

 

Oh well.

these are the top players left on Drafttek that fit the teams needs, minus Bowers.

Yeah, Bowers is one of them. And I consider pass rusher to be a very high priority with this or any team, every year.

 

I really liked what you said about not taking a QB here and "letting the draft come to you" but if there's one you really like, you have to take him now.

 

Funny how there was a lot of buzz that Andy Dalton was gonna be a late-rising first rounder…even though there were also reports that he had 4th round physical talent. My point is that not all teams will say "there's 3-4 QBs we like still out there." It might be the case that there's only one or maybe two quarterbacks remaining that any given team likes.

 

Brooks Reed Az DE (OLB)

Reed is another guy who IMO should be on the list.
