1- trade back get a second and manti te'o
2-jessie willams nt bama
3-jake long ot oregon
also the deepest position in this draft is the def. line
^ Whom and for who is someone going to trade up for. There is no one in this draft worth trading up for and losing future picks for, so I highly doubt a trade happens on draft night.
Its a little early for anyone to be thinking they know where people will be drafted. A lot will change between now and April.

Top 5 LB's statistically fail
Teo is a great player, but I do not see him as a game changing LB in the NFL. He's far from a top 5 player.
We don't need an MLB, we need a DL or OL first. We need all you can eat champs protecting our QB, or rape convicts destroying opposing QB's. A guy like Teo will fail in Oak.
You are right. That is why I don't like to play that game, especially when there is a chance we can win some games still. The changes will be coming left and right, from where we pick, other team's needs including trades, player status, and where a player should fall on the board after combine etc. I like some players, but need to research more.Quote:

Prospect wise, I think, Willis was better than Te'O. Bigger and faster, SEC defender. Te'O won't go as high as maybe he should because of the position he plays. Teams find more value in pass rushers than Mike backers these days.Quote:

I have to chime in here. McClain was fast and big and yes, he came from the SEC. The problem is that he CANT make plays. We dont need sexy picks, we need guys who can make tackles. I have said for a long time that we needed a MLB that was good for years. Instead we grab folks like DMC, DHB, etc.Quote:

When you get a chance to draft a game changing LB or franchise OT, you do it in the first 2 rounds. Every good team in the NFL has a game changing LB. We have 0. The really good teams have 2. I guess I am still pissed that we drafted DMC instead of Clady.
McClain wasn't the "super athlete" - that was why I was convinced he'd succeed.Quote:

And, FWIW, I wanted Brandon Spikes too. We were hearing that Bruce Campbell was going to be the first round pick, however...
In an unrelated note :
What the hell is Oakland going to do defensively next year?
If they stick to a 4-3, they'll need to slide Houston to DT, promote Desmond Bryant, fill the hole at DE left by Houston, add depth all over while also finding better players at S, CB, MLB... and somewhere, somehow, the team will need some sort of pass rush.
If they move to a 3-4, they'll need a NT, they'll need TWO new MLB's, they'll still need a pass rusher at OLB, they'll still need better corners...
Good lord, this defense is a mess.

Good player, but we need improvement and to get to the QB. Then we need an MLB... Unless Burris or Wheeler move inside and we get a pass rushing OLB.
Moving to 3-4, Houston, Bryant and Shuagnessy could all play DE in 3-4 so only a NT is needed and one more for depth. An OLB that can get at it and a MLB is needed, along with one more for depth. I prefer this route and moving in this direction for good.
In the 3-4, the DE's need to eat blockers to free up the LB's to make plays. We would have better depth on the DL here and only need a NT. I trust RM to find good LB's, so far he's 2 for 2.
Our secondary is screwed regardless. We need a lot of help on defense really. I'd just really like to see an attacking 3-4 in Oakland for once. It's going to take two years regardless of what we do.
in a 3-4 burris will slide to ilb. We would need one new MLB and a dangerous pass rusher at OLB.Quote:
