Originally posted by QSmokey View PostWell, that OLB pass rusher is supposed to be Ingram, right? And we need OL depth, which Dunlap would provide. We can, and perhaps should, go with your plan for our 2nd-round and/or 3rd-round picks, but I guess either way would be OK.

I guess, as you say, it all depends on who is there. If the top LT (is it Lewan?) and the top pass rusher (I'm thinking Clowney, if the recent questions about his dedication prove baseless) are there when it's our turn, who do you take?
Unfortunately Jax, Pitts, the Giants, the Raiders and Washington are giving us a run for the money! I think it would be difficult for Jax NOT to have the #1 pick; Raiders perhaps #2. Both could use a QB, of course, so it might not affect us so as much if we're drafting #3. I gotta believe that Jax takes a QB, almost certainly.

Depth.
Too early to shine TWilliams, but he is nothing special so far, I'd agree. Depth. Walker has been pretty good depth, too.
We can go OLB in the 2nd or 3rd. Let's NAIL DOWN this LT spot if we have the chance, I say!

But what's unsettling to me is that we seem to be throwing ALL of our eggs into the Draft basket with little indication that we're gonna dip into Free Agency...again. I'm REALLY starting to believe that the Spanos Family is driving this anti-Free Agency model (as opposed to it being our GM's philosophy). We have to be one of the bottom 2-3 teams when it comes to going after QUALITY free agents the past several years.
