I don't disagree with anything you have said here.
However, there is no ONE player (even if it is Teo) that will put us in the post-season. We need multiple KEY players.
This is truly a double-edged sword but we gotta trade down and hope Mayhew learns how to draft between now and then
With a new GM coming in and possibly new coach I can see them taking a QB (let's not forget the fact that Gabbert sucks). The problem is the QB class is really weak. Geno Smith will probably go #1, after that is all ugly. Jockel would make sense if they feel Gabbert is the answer (good luck with that).
If that were the case then I can see Jones falling to us. Oakland doesn't need a DE and with Star still on the board I can't see them passing on him. Philly has enough pass rushers as it is and depending on if Jacksonville goes with a QB or not they'd take Jockel.
i have seen articles that have questioned his speed to be an elite LB in the nfl. but i have not seen anything that says he is really slow?
i am not sure how accurate this is but i saw he ran a 4.54 which is pretty good. it isnt all about the 40 yard dash, but a lot of people will have their eye on his combine numbers, particurally his 40 time.

This team has gotten sorry.
The only plus I can see going into this draft is with the best player available crap they are always touting. they will most likely draft a player that will fill a starting need. I hope they can trade down a few spot and grab an extra pick or 2 and draft a DB. I still think that is their greatest need. But Jarvis Jones has some health and size concerns going into this draft so I think they should pass on him and look LB later. DB then DE first
I'm really hoping they bring in Manti Te'o...The guy plays with a chip on his shoulder. He's a beast, he's got better hands than Pettigrew (watch his interceptions) and has better moves with the ball after the INT. If the Lions do in fact draft him I'll be going Alpha Dog with this guy. Only I'm sure Manti would make a better QB than Gabbert so I doubt people will think I'm insane for being a major fan.
I would not be upset if we got Te'o. Its just that the dline is so important to this defense and as of right now we have no capable starters for DE. Young is a good back up but that is all he is. Avril is going to walk or be overpaid I'd prefer to let him walk. While KVB needs to be cut...a big time DE would be nice.
nah I think the defense is fine after a 4-12 season... no **** Mayhew.
That aint bad for a MLB. Look im not knocking Te'o at all. I think he will be a good MLB and leader for somebody, all im saying is we already have Tully. Even though tulloch isnt on a elite level for middle backers but hes a damn good one. I just dont think Te'o will be as productive as a OLB thus wasting his talents if we pick him. Te'o needs to be middle and we dont need a MLB. If Mayhew does draft Te'o he better get on the phone and look to trade Tulloch
maybe i am the minority, but i thought our LB's were pretty good last season. I would be good w us resigning levy and durant for an amount we can afford. that being said, it may be too much of a gamble to draft Te'o to be an OLB since we have tulloch.
i think our defense suffered because of the DE's and secondary excluding Houston.
