- value depth in order (Safety, T, TE, CB)
QB- Well, we are pretty much ****ed at QB unless we do something magical, in which case this prognosticating doesn't mean shit. Outside of the top two, there's a huge drop off.
RT - in the first would royally piss me off. A backup LT would also piss me off here.
NT - As mentioned in other threads, there's not really a NT worth that pick.
ILB- Inside Linebacker makes sense - if there's a good enough player.
RB - Trent Richardson, and only Trent Richardson if we use this spot on a RB.
I really hope we don't draft for depth with our first pick. If we lose Bowe/Carr, then we've got other options to consider with the pick.
So, is there a quality, starting caliber ILB to target here, assuming we stand still?

Nice post, I agree 100%.
We'll see, but I think Luke Kuechly, ILB/Boston College would be a great pick in the first and Dontari Poe, NT/Memphis or Alameda Ta'amu, NT/Washington in the second would be awesome for our defense. Kuechly is a beast who seems like he is in on every single tackle. He had a game with 20 freaking tackles and FF...in one game. We would have a very dominate defense.
Trent Richardson in the first and Coby Fleener, TE/Stanford in the second could be good for an offense in some need, and able to helpout on 3rd down.
With Tony M coming back there will probably always be questions if he can stay healthy, plus no depth. This gives us a two headed monster at RB and TE to go along with Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin. Throw in McCluster and try and hold back the chills.
