Unless you are satisfied with the pissing away of recent early draft picks like Tank Tyler, Turk McBride, Tamba Hali, and Glenn Dorsey, I don't see much of a position of need with the pick of Tyson Jackson at #3. Especially considering that our right side of the offensive line got two of our starting quarterbacks killed last season and forced us to go with a 7th round Minnesota practice squad qb cast off to be the first full fledged spread option offense that the NFL has ever seen.
But whatever.
Position of need.
Versus linebacker.
- Oh noes! Like we didn't need a good linebacker!
Versus offensive line.
- Let's get Cassel killed early on in the season so that second round draft pick is a piss away!
Versus a vertical passing game.
- Because we can always dump it off to our Pro Bowl Tight En...I mean, Larry Johns...I mean Brad Cotto...ah, **** it.
Versus a pass rush.
- I embrace the fact that we set a new standard of low for the NFL history books.
But I guess you make a point. Pissing away the #5 last year on a defensive tackle who is going to have to convert to the RDE spot, and our #2 two years ago on Turk, who is now what? The back up to Jackson at the LDE? Maybe? And we've got all these recent high draft picks on defense who are now going to sink or swim because we draft Jackson because it's a position of need?
Pardon me, but...meh.
