Re: Wanna have a discussion about Snead/McVay likely draft strategy?

Almost in complete agreement with you 43, with one exception.

I'm saying we'll draft ILB, C, RB, WR (in that order!). I'm thinking a PK in Round 6, and probably a DB in RD 7 (Though we know somehow Snead is going to end up with 2 to 3 more picks)

ILB because it seems like the weakest position remaining and if Staley is running the Fangio defense, it runs on LB versatility. Depending upon how much they like Kiser we'll either go with a run stopper or a 3-down guy. We know they met with Davis-Gaither & Jordyn Brooks, each of whom fills one of those roles.

OC because there seems to be a solid group available this year, because Blythe is on a one year deal and because Allen has underwhelmed. We also know they've met with a handful of centers.

RB purely because I just think they're going to. RB by committee seems to be the NFL trend for the moment, McVay seemed to want to play that way last season, and I don't think they are going to go the bell-cow back route with Henderson. We know they met with at least 2 backs, a small fast back (Darrynton Evans, Appalachian St) and a big back (Zack Moss, Utah)

WR: Cooks could be released next year for cap money. Reynolds has one more year. We need to start rotating a guy in. I'd suspect we'll be looking for a speed guy. Though as far as I know we've only talked to Van Jefferson who's more of a route runner.

PK: We lost a good one. We didn't sign anyone to fill his spot. We lost a big game on a field goal. McVay isn't going to turn the job over to someone off the street.

DB: Because you can't have enough DB's and we could probably use some depth at FS. We met with Javaris Davis - Auburn, who is a slot corner and Reggie Robinson - Tulsa who is a big special teams CB who could also play FS

Lastly, yes, I'm going out on a limb and saying we aren't going to draft an EDGE. No reason, just a gut feeling.
