Best defensive player with the first 3 picks.

If someone like Michael Thomas (value wise) is available in the 2nd, you always pull the difference.

It already should be the best front 7 we've had in a long, long time, and there's no way we can lose 8 corners to injury again this year (who knows with our medical staff)

Rankins, Breaux, Williams, Swann, Kikaha, Vaccaro,and Ellerbe all missed substantial time last season.

While I'm holding my breath on Ellerbe and Kikaha, the additions of Okafor, Klein, and Bush should provide some much needed depth at our biggest positions of need.
