I would be fine with an OLB, but this player will not be as talented as Jenkins in this particular draft and at our spot.

Jenkins has serious red flags.

I smell a trade down.

If we had not signed Quinn, I'd say they might now take Tannehill and let either him or Stanzi develop for a couple of years. Cassel is probably our starter for the next two years anyway.

Quinn won't stop them from drafting Tannehill if they really think that he is a franchise type QB. They can carry 4 QB's for 1 year or just cut Quinn.

Jenkins might not even go in the first round at all. He's essentially an Asante Samuel clone, but he won't go till late first or second.

I just pray the pick is not Kuchely. He is a monster at reading the option play, and screens and whatever else there is to read, but in the pro's that amounts to a vast minority of the plays.

I think Decastro is the pick

Of course he does. If he didn't, he wouldn't be there when we'd be picking.

Winston is a fantastic addition to the team for all the reasons that have already been mentioned.

1. We have not had a legit RT in a decade.
2. Strong oline play helps running game, QB play, which helps rest the D.
3. We don't have to blow a top pick on a RT

This is odd, but I have not wanted a FA like this since Hugh Douglas.

I like the addition of Hillis, really want Tolbert.
I really like the addition of Boss. Every team needs roll players

For everyone who is bitching we signed a RT but still have no QB, that's just the position we are in. I liked the Cassel signing when it was made. It didn't work out, but its not like we have been passing on QBs left and right. There is nothing we can do this year so we are very limited in what we can do. Giving Orton a 5 year deal, is not something that is good long term.

I love where this team is sitting before the draft.

I'm an Oline homer so I'd love nothing more than to grab DeCastro or Konz, but we are now free to grab the best player available. Awesome day.

That's why I wouldn't take him at 11.

Plus Pass Rusher > CB in terms of value.

He signed a three-year deal in Dallas.

Sure, but the talent level of this particular CB is far greater than the OLB that will be available, thus reversing the potential value in this instance.

Trying to come up with right upgrade comparison for KC's jump from BRich to Winston. Does not compute. Value too high.

If they can find a partner, definitely. I don't see a slam dunk @ 11 and this team needs better depth in the worst way. More picks would help.
