    it's really in your fucking best interests that you never, ever do this again.

    Moala might be our best shot at a complete prospect that low. Of course, if someone else thinks that he goes in the 30s.

    I would be fine with Moala but Brace looks like a can't miss run stuffer. It would be nice to have a low level free agent on board at DT now to keep us from being so desperate. We need to draft some depth for the OL now too...

    Omiyale and Bridges weren't drafted by us.

    that's the choice, really. Do you go for the guy who's going to be really good at one thing, or the guy that could be good at both? It's a basic choice and while not all of the above prospects would be there late in the 2nd, we'd probably still have that choice.

    OL should probably be young (i.e., cheap) depth, but we do need at least one cheap vet for experience. And while Vincent is holding up his end, he's a FA after the year. It'd be a great year to draft a successor. But we have three, even four since we could use 2 DT, more needs ahead of it.

    Take the known commodity. Sacks and QB pressure can be gotten from stunts and disguised blitz's

    I like the idea of going for the sure thing. You can have a semi-good defense even with a weak pass rush. You can not have one if you can not stop the run.

    We have solid starters for the OL assuming Vincent is able to come back but the depth is lacking with the guys who have moved on. Our starters missed several games on the OL last year but we did not lose a whole lot due to our depth. I am not sure that will be possible next year.

    I'm still have the notion we need to get a decent FA DT at least with starting creditials. Not necessarily an every game stater, but like we had a few years ago with our DEs. If we draft a DT, there are none that I have been reading up on except for maybe Raji (no chance to get anyhow) that doesn't have some major holes in their game. With that, if we have a injury to Lewis or Kemo, we'll have serious issues with the lack of veteran depth.

    Judging by the little I've watched so far, both look slower off the snap than I'd like. Not as much explosion off the ball as I'd like, either. But I'm keeping in mind that they could be just thinking instead of reacting, which would be understandable.

    Still, Brace looks to me like he's playing overweight. I'm going to keep watching, though.

    2) CB Macho Harris Virginia Tech
    3) WR Ramses Barden Cal Poly
    4) DT Vance Walker Georgia Tech........According to WalterFootabll.com

    I'd be cool with those 1st 3 picks!!
