Draft Theme 2011 - Page 2

It seems like Pioli is a man with a plan. He is very calculated, very deliberate. Whether or not you believe he is correct or headed in the right direction is up to you. (I think his resume speaks for itself, though, so you are a dumbass if you think he's a dumbass.)

Year 1 had a Special Teams theme to it, by selecting Lawrence, Washington, and Succup. Obviously we were a shit team heading into it, so we had to pick fires to put out everywhere.

Last year, we drafted players with two themes in mind: 1. Speed, and 2. Leadership Ability.

Speed
We took players like Javi and Dex early, when prognosticators would have had us picking other positions/player types. Lewis was a speed upgrade over our old-ass safeties and Berry, of course, is fast as shit.

Leadership Ability
All but one of our picks was a Team Captain, if I remember correctly.

This Year
So let's assume Pioli has a theme coming into this draft. What are some universal themes, or character traits, that we will seek out? Please share a theme, and 2-3 players you have in mind that might fit that theme.

I'm trying to steer clear of "this position" vs. "that position" since that's in every other draft thread anyways. I'm more looking for discussion on what you think our theme/s could be for this draft.
