I have no problem with taking another WR or CB, but we can't fit anymore projects with the guys we already have. It's a numbers game. No one left at CB or WR is likely to beat out the top 5 or 6 we have at those spots.

I can see Desir maybe, but it could be a wasted pick at an overloaded spot.

I understand what you're saying about overload but I see opportunity for either position in the near future. Meach and Morgan are both on one year deals and Toon is right behind them. Colston is still very good but in 2 years cost vs. effectiveness may make him disposable. Cornerback is more crowded but Bailey is getting older and Robinson only has one year left on his contract. Desir could be insurance for SJB or part of a three man unit with SJB and Lewis.

I would prefer to take chances on boom or bust prospects at other positions because we are so deep but I don't see many.

Well the traditional LB pool is about to get deep. And now is the perfect time to take a shot on a C.

That's 2 of our 4 remaining picks. The other 2 can be used on whoever they feel has the best chance to make the roster and honestly I'm not seeing many spots left no matter what positions we go with. We are just so deep almost everywhere.

Some good flyer positions could be:

HB(upgrade over Cadet; Ingram is a FA next year and Thomas is getting older)

TE(look for a blocking TE that won't claim to be a WR in 4 years; Watson getting old)

OT(upgrade over Harris/Jones though unlikely)

C/G(shallow depth but that changes if we draft a C/G and/or sign Goodwin; eventual Grubbs replacement)

NT/Big DE(could use another guy to make the 53 here as Tom Johnson walked; eventual Bunkley replacement)

Pass Rushing OLB/DE(may lose Butler and Galette next year and Jordan only has 2 years left)

S(only have 4 though I think that's all that make the 53 given our corner depth)

K(if there's one worth taking)
