Kubiak "could use an impact player at LB and on the backend..." [ESPN.com blog]

Hard pressed to take a RB or WR? Gee, Knowshon, Beannie, Donald Brown, Hakeem Nicks, Maclin, and Harvin are now off our board. I wonder if that makes other team more or less likely to trade up for those guys?

I'd love to select Clay Matthews, but I can't shake the feeling that Maclin or even Donald Brown may be more "valuable" in terms of draft day. If we couldn't trade down and all three were still on the board, I'd be hard pressed in taking Matthews over the offensive players.

Im a little confused why he adds "(but) we'd be hard-pressed to take a receiver or a running back in the first round.".

Where does that come from? It wasnt part of the question. Why throw that out there.

Just remember that Gary Kubiaks ability to articulate his thought process is much more comparable to that of the last resident of the WH than it is
to the one who was just elected.

Actually, I don't think he said anything that wasn't obvious. It's unlikely we are going to take a RB and pay him bigger bucks than Slaton. It's very unlikely we take a QB after we signed Orlovsky. And its not particularly likely we take a DE after we just signed one for starter's money. A run stopping DT might be a possibility, but there doesn't appear to be a good choice in the middle of the first round. So that leaves just OL and the positions Kubiak mentioned.
