    Nothing has changed really -- we'll have a clearer picture once FA picks up.

    I think the only thing that is pretty much a lock in my opinion is - Chip Kelly and the Eagles will draft E.J Manuel atop the 2nd. Not something I personally want, but what I think will happen.

    Don't disagree, but I would rather chip get his stud QB next year, although it's conceivable that he will then have EJ + another QB fighting it out next year. If he makes some deals, and gets some extra picks in this draft, then he could get EJ + load up on Defense thru FA + the draft.

    I just hope that we get a solid #1 pick, whatever the position.

    Nothing has really changed for me ... I'd grab Eric Fisher with the 4th pick and not give it another thought. My only concern would be if someone snags him at either 2 or 3 in a trade up.

    Fisher and Manuel with the first two picks makes alot of sense. Except for that defense that needs some fixing.

    Agree with Rey. Fisher, if not there, trade down, if they can, and grab Lane Johnson, or Dion. It sounds ike they will Keep either Nnamdi, or DRC (franchise), and we need to get a FA CB (Smith?), and get the best Safety in the 2nd.

    I agree that for us, anyway, the combine changed little.

    The Alex Smith trade, if true, means KC almost certainly takes a lineman high, but that was likely anyway. I can also see a trade down if there are any takers.

    For us, Fisher has to be the pick unless he is already gone, which is sounding increasingly likely. It seems some think he might go before Joeckel. If Joeckel is there, I take him.

    I really like Dion Jordan as a useful player who could do a lot of things in our defense but I don't know that he'll ever be a top 5 pass rusher. Not sure about using pick #4 on that, but it's intriguing.

    No change for me except maybe I'm a little down on Star.

    Get Joeckel or Fisher or trade down for multiple picks. Lots of good players available and we have lots of holes. I still love Warmack if the draft works that way and I think we draft a NT in round 2.

    Looks like lots of backup WRs and some competent DBs in rounds 2-5. I wouldn't mind a good TE thrown in there, but I'd err on defense.
