I DON'T KNOW, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED?

I can't remember what voyager's conclusion was. It was something idiotic like we would have had a top 15 defense or some shit because then we could have spent our 1st rounder on something else

He plays the same position in this defense.

Seriously. I don't know why people want Kuechly/Hightower when they will fill DJs role. They will be backups for like three years!

Hightower would ostensibly be an upgrade for Belcher; dude is more of a thumper.

While I really like Hightower and agree that right now he would be an upgrade...Im not sure it would be a smart move.

Jovan Belcher is our linebacker version of Brandon Carr.

Talented, Small school guy with loads of upside that after a couple years starting has shown to be able to do his specific job extremely well.

Im just hoping that Tanehill or Richardson are still on the board when we pick so that we can either add another blue chip player (in TRs case) or (in Tanehills case if Seattle still has a need at QB going into the draft) get really good value to a team looking to jump in front of Seattle to take a quarterback.

My best case scenario is us sliding back with the Bengals for them to take Trent and for us to be able to take Kontz or the safety from Alabama with our pick and add a couple more picks this year or a premium pick next year.

I think with the Bengals having two firsts this year, they would be willing to move up by using one of the firsts this year and next years first rounder to move up for a back like Richardson.

It will be a very interesting draft day, thats for sure.

Why would we draft a safety in the first, again?

Berry = RAWESOME
Lewis = Eh... okay. Adequate as long as he's surrounded by quality guys
Depth = Moldy poop

Lewis or our first rounder as safety depth this year would be incredible.

Again, we're drafting rich. We can go any position. Safety's one of our weaker spots in terms of depth. It makes sense to shore it up.

I disagree, Lewis is a good player, and yes the depth is moldy poop, but it is also the same on the o line and d line.

We have positions that need to be shored, I'm going to be pissed if we draft a safety.

[Mr. Laz]

we still need improvement at starting positions

Defense:
Lewis(FS)
Belcher(MLB)
Amon Gordon(NT)

Offense
Cassel(QB)
center (Hudson at LG or C?, is he ready?)
Fullback

It's not like we are pro bowl everywhere. Just have freedom and flexibility.

tbh we need depth just about everywhere

I'm cool with trading back, but I don't want to go safety in the first. I believe that Lewis is a solid starter, and depth can be acquired in later rounds.

I'd be cool with the plan to select Konz, as others have put forward.

Well that got answered quickly.

We're one interior lineman away from having a solid, solid group of fatties. And it doesn't need to be a first rounder, either; we could just draft/sign a guy for depth. On the defensive line I really don't know what's up with that. Pioli doesn't seem to concerned about our NT hole, but in any case the depth is already there. Gordon can swing depending on formation, and we're already two-deep at both DE positions.

Point is- we've got the backups. We don't have the backups at safety. I'd hate for our defense to take a huge hit like it did last year incase of injury. Shabby Pissonthetelly simply can NOT see action in our base defense next year at any point. That was atrocious.
