Who do you want in the draft?

It's a little early maybe, but I'm already looking to the draft now! What with an 3-8 record, and an increasing number of holes on the Oakland team.

It's a cert that our picks will be on defense, and I think it will be Te'o, Lotulelei, or Jones coming to Oakland...assuming they don't hold out! Of those three I think our biggest need is on the D-line and so I would be happy to see Lotulelei coming our way. With McClain seemingly being cut though, we may look to strengthen our linebackers instead and hope Seymour/Kelly can hang on for another year.

What do you see your team needing and going for right now?

Not Matt Barkley?

Any pick that isn't on the defensive side of the ball will be a waste for us!

Wide reciever
Offensice tackle

only two real big needs for seattle

Needing: CB + DE + G arguably LB + FS.

Sheldon Brown is I believe a FA this year, even if his isn't then he is slowing down, the young corners behind him haven't done enough to show they can step up to start opposite Haden (or in place of him). DE Rucker and Parker aren't doing bad but that doesn't mean it can't be improved a new DE to start opposite Sheard and the D-line will be pretty damn good. Don't think we know whether Pinkston's blood clot's are career ending which could mean we need at least a new LG but RG could still use improvement. LB is only a need if taken in the first round, Browns group is pretty good especially considering we've lost two starting LBs and a rookie to IR, outside of the first round don't think the pick will improve the group. FS maybe a bit of a luxury pick, Usama young and Eric Hagg aren't bad and the potential for Brown to moved to safety has been mentioned quite a bit, so while it wouldn't be my choice for the 1st round pick it would solve a need.

My 1st round choice (stolen from a article I read the other day) CB- Dee Milliner, move Brown to FS and we've found a new starting corner and added depth to the safeties. Would love Barrett Jones in the second (if there) played at RG, LT and C during his time at Alabama think he would start at Guard, but would also be useful cover elsewhere on the line.

Mark Sanchez v2?

For the Patriots I would like to see us draft on the defensive side of the ball again and continue to try and improve the secondary mainly. However I thnk somewhere were we might try and draft is on the offensive line, with Mankins, Vollmer and Connolly all being a tad injury prone, another young option on that line would be good cover for the present and future.

A real speedster WR might be a luxury, but I think we might look to free agency for that

Wonder whether Mike Wallace might become available for you guys? Scary thought.

Mike Wallace? I think he should be an FA.

I wanted him last off season. If we got him, and kept all our players imagine how scary our offence would be. Wallace going deep, Welker coming underneath, Gronk just being a beast, Hernandez flying all over the place, and then we could still run the ball with Ridley! Defend that bitches

I can't say I know anybody apart from like T'eo, Smith and Barkley coming through in this year's draft class as I don't watch College Football. I usually take notice of the draft after the Super Bowl

For the 49ers, I'd like defensive line, defensive line, defensive line. Trade down as we have no huge needs, just depth and potentitial. Grab Sheldon Richardson and Ezekial Ansah in the first two rounds, Then in round three, go for someone like Chase Thomas or Travis Long. With the second third rounder from Carolina, I'd say go for Kwame Geathers or another decent NT. Then some risky picks with Marquess Wilson, Marcus Lattimore and Jordan or Kyler Reed

A good linebacker. Seems to be our only "big" need. Then probably a DB and a receiving TE or RB.

Need a QB, but this draft seems to be horrible for it, so probably roll with Foles/a Matt Moore type vet and lean on the run. A WR with size would be nice. Not sure we need to go OL high, depth the real killer.

Would hold off on a DE for now, so prob an OLB or secondary player.

therefore Matt Leinart V3?

Offensive Lineman by the dozen...

Barkley will be closer to prime Palmer than either of those jokers in terms of being a good QB.
