O-Line or D-Line?

We need interior lineman and we can get them in round 2 or 3. We need a pass rush bad. A better pass rush helps out our DB's and considering we don't have any safeties on the team right now that would be a good thing. If we don't go Ingram, Coples, or Brockers I'd like to get Barron.

 

We could use help on both lines, but I honestly didn't feel like our D-Line's lack of production hurt us much. Finnegan, McCourty, and Verner stick to their guys like glue, so we can get by with average pass rushers.

Not being able to sustain drives on offense is why we're sitting here talking about the draft instead of playing football. Unless Coples is around at 20, I say go for Konz or DeCastro, all 3 guys are top talents.

 

munch did say they were probably going D for the first round... however.. if decastro's there we shouldn't even let the clock tick down to even a second...
i think the Dline needs more work then the Oline.... i'm willing to see what an off season can do for the Oline... the Dline just wasn't getting the sacks or pressure at all... it's just frustrating watching the QB sit behind his line sipping tea...

 

Round 1. Best defensive player available.
Round 2. Jared Crick DT/DE Nebraska.
Round 3. Ryan Miller G Colorado.

Great first three rounds right there.

 

What's a great pass rusher do? He stops drives and gets the offense the ball back.

But we have 1 problem. We can't move the ball behind the 3 stooges in the middle. We need better players inside so we can move the chains and score. Keeping drives alive will also keep the defense fresh making them more likely to make a play.

Gotta go offense early.

 

Believe me, I understand the need for interior guys just as much as you guys do but that's not where the value is at 20. There will be some sort of defensive playmaker there when we pick like Still (DT) from PSU or Barron (S) from Alabama. A great guard or center will fall to us in the 2nd. We don't have to have the #1 player at guard or center especially since our staff is great at coaching up guys on the o-line.

 

This is what worries me.

 

They had 1 bad year this year and put too much faith in the wrong player (Amano) that he could get it done at center. They realize their mistake and Munch has said that they'd draft some o-line talent early this draft. No worries man.

 

Let's hope so.
