Draft Pick signings?

[NBT]

Yes, I agree Adibi will coming in for Greenwood on passing downs.

No, I don't think it is bad to be considering Maualuga, or Lauranitis (sp) for the Mike, sending DeMeco to the Will. that would make for a kick a$$ LB corp, I believe.

BUT.....if we are talking first round draft pick for next year, when are we going to get our RB of the future? I don't see him on the team as yet. Maybe someone in TC will prove me wrong, but I don't think so.

He probably won't come from the first round - it's just not the Denver/Gibbs/Kubiak way...

I think spending this year's first round pick on a LT was a bit against the grain of that system/mindset, too, however, I'm sure glad they did it. For one, it quiets the never-spent-a-first-on-an-OL people and (2) might as well get a good one...

Posssible preseason top 20 pick Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State, Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia

2nd round and below RBs: LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh, James Davis, RB, Clemson (WalterFootball have us taking him in the 2nd in the preseason mock), C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson; Arian Foster, RB, Tennessee , Marlon Lucky, RB, Nebraska , Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan State , Javarris James, RB, Miami

Most of these guys are currently grading mid 2nd and lower. So it appears the strength of this draft is OL, DL, MLB, and Safeties. It is weak at QB and RB.

I'm big on RB's in the top 10 or so of the draft (don't think we will be picking there anyway). I would be ok if we took one in the last half of the first, but I hate the idea of targeting any position in the first round. That's OK for 4th or 5th round on because those guys have a hard enough time making the team anyway so you might as well go for guys at positions where they have a shot at making the team. Outside of QB I think you have to just take the best player available...another reason I wouldn't have a problem with the LB's above.

I'll use the Babin example again of how keying on positions will get you in trouble.
