So we're talking OLB in the 1st? Anybody else worried ?

No dude, relax. The Trifecta has a good draft history. Even after all is said and done you have to wait till the season starts to start evaluating our talent.

Prolly gonna be hard to get someone in the middle rounds that can come in and start OLB. Might HAVE to.

All that flashes in my head is JPP doing those backflips at the combine. And we would be the only team that think D Morgan can play OLB in a 3-4.

Best case is that we trade down and snag GRAHAM late 1st.

I don't know if that is a shot at JPP... but you will eat your words if it is. I don't say that because I am USF Alumni I say that because i have seen his talent first hand.

Too many question marks for Pierre-Paul, IMO. Lots of raw talent BUT 5.5 sacks at the FBS level? He's a project. Who knows what he can do against NFL caliber tackles.

We need someone who can start week 1. Morgan or Griffen possible. Don't rule out Mays. If he can add 10-15 pounds, he could be a candidate.

Possibly. The only reason I mention him is in reference to Brandt's surprise pick. If Thomas or Berry are on the board, Mays would surprise me, Pierre-Paul wouldn't.

I'd rather take cody at 12 than mays. Mays at 12 is an al davis pick. I'd need to serious reconsider my fandom if they did something that moronic.

How bout move Smith to FS and take Haden at 12. I wouldn't hate that but we'd still almost HAVE to find a starter @ OLB in the 3rd and 4th.

The likely hood of a rookie making an impact at OLB is slim and just about none. All I can say is that this JT move becomes dumber by the minute. Could have had him sharing time.
If the FO can't bring in someone experienced then we will be waiting another two years before our Defense steps up as necessary to win the division let alone the playoffs.
I just hope I'm wrong.

If he finds the next Demarcus Ware......I have no problem with that.

I truly do not link the first pick with the decision on letting JT slide.

Parcells and compnay must think they have talent on board that is as good or can be improved to spell vs. replace JT.

- Cameron Wake development etc

I expect we'll be looking safety, NT, or future OLB vs. worry immediate starter.

I'm just glad we picked up marshall as it gives the other holes a chance to fill.
