interesting order.
i'd say barring unforseen development/production out of diles AND adibi, OLB probably takes my #1 need. that's just me guessing that morlon greenwood gets a duece chucked to him after '09 though.
i assume you're outing DE as your #1 need to place emphasis on pass rushing? i'm all for getting a DE but i think if mario, amobi and to a lesser extent okam, t.j., and kalu play well this year they are a young enough group to expect the same result for a few years at least. adding a pass rusher certainly helps, but i'd rather pick a guy out in later rounds, maybe even a day 2 guy who has pass rushing tools, but needs good coaching to turn physical ability into a complete game.
i like the TE nod, and totally wonder how many times an opposing DC mentions "we're boned" in the gameplan room if kubiak had 2 TE guys that could block and catch.
the WR pick makes little sense even if j.j. busts. walter is a great possession guy, davis is a great speed guy and a.j. is both. adding on OD, and in your scenario another TE would be more than sufficient attention to the pass attack. besides, with one legit man and 3 (or however many) sidekicks another sidekick (5th rounder) won't impact the group much. I would get one early who would without a doubt supplant walter/davis/jones for the #2 gig or not select one at all.
i agree with your point of RB being a frequent low-round selection for us. I KNOW PHILOSOPHIES WHEN I SEE THEM!!!! WHO SAID I DON'T!?!?!
so what would i do?
1. OLB/S/WR
2. TE/S/G
3. S/G/DE
4. DE/RB/OL
5. RB/OL/DL
6./7. I think Kubiak is awesome at coaching players up and at this point I'm willing to give him the 6th and 7th rounds to make a project of anyone at any position ESPECIALLY quarterback and yes, I remember we selected Alex Brink like a month ago.
