We must pick the best player available.


exactly...just get someone who in 4 years is actually playing like a high first rounder would be expected to be playing

Exactly. Too often people just think about "plugging holes". Well we picked that OLB in the first round... problem solved! We're good this year!

That's just not the way it works. Some guys take years to develop, some don't. Some don't develop at all, some become All-Pros on their second team. It happens.

You really want to upgrade one thing in the draft: TALENT. Who will still be there in a few years contributing? How long is the learning curve? What is the ceiling and floor?

I think you'll be saying this about Cam Jordan.

Just a hunch, with switching to the 3-4 and the improvement we saw in year 2. Just a hunch.
