Russel Wilson? Really? Complete failure.

You're worried about a sixth round pick? Guy is an athlete and a leader. If he were bigger would probably project higher. For a project #3 starter you can't ask for much.

He's not just short. He's awful in the pocket. You can't get much closer to a wasted pick than Wilson, unless you are looking at him for a different position.

[Bewbies]

I will take a blown 6th on a QB that will never play in the NFL over a G at 11. Good grief...

[milkman]

Whatever we do this offseason, whether in the draft or free agency, we do need to address the second RB position.

Even if Charles comes back at 100%, he can not be expected to carry the load.

And you can not expect a 7th rounder to be the guy to share the load, and Jackie Battle is not the answer.

Why do these mocks keep having us taking a guard at No. 11/12? Horrible positional value, if we are going to do that, we need to be trading down.

I hear that answer every year. Just trade on down. Must be real easy to do that. Who do you think the player is that will get to our spot that everyone wants to move up for. Don't mention moving down. Its a lazy answer. Plus you don't give your own alternatives.

Even so, taking a G? We don't even really need a G. Just getting Wiegmann out of the middle can hold us for a year. Lilja still has 1 year left on his contract. BRich on the other hand needs to ****ing go, yesterday.

NO WAY we cut Piscawhosis.

Yeah, Lilja was great last year. A young DeCastro definitely would not be an upgrade.

Missed the point entirely...

Wiegmann and Lilja weren't great but Wiegmann, is hopefully retiring and Hudson is taking over. Now you've got Richardson over there at RT who couldn't block for a high school team. So you are looking at replacing Lilja, who has 1 year left, or Richardson, who's a FA, and you have seemingly equal value at both positions likely on the board and you choose to replace Lilja...

I'm not wanting to draft Trent Richardson in the first but I'd take him all day over DeCastro.

New England has no problems doing it.

Nor did McDaniels with Denver.

New England is almost always at the end of the first round dealing with teams that want to move up from the 2nd. Easy to do considering they don't expect players to come in and start for them near the tail end of the first round.

To move down you have to have a player that other teams covet at your spot while not moving down to where the player your team covets would be picked. I hear people yelling trade down all the time.

[Munson]

Taking a guard at #11 is like taking a 3-4 DE at #3. The value just isn't there. Even a RT at #11 is a terrible value. But it wouldn't surprise me if Pioli drafted a G or RT without trading down.
