Graham was our best DL last year and Raid would be the tallest midget in Oz. so what?

Agree 100% on both points here.

Being the best in a 4-12 season is not saying much, especially when the stats are not that impressive.

I'm sorry, but a 1st rounder should be an 'immediate' contributor, and a stud starter by year 2, otherwise, your drafting/scouting dept is not doing their job. I am not for 'reaches' - i want solid players - and your high round picks should become this. When you are 3 years out.. whether it is for injuries or skillsets.. that's pretty much a bust. If it were a 3rd round player, maybe not so much. But the production didn't match up with the resources used.

Warmack is a certified stud who fills a need for the next ten years. I hate to use #4 on a G. In a perfect world, we trade down to around #8 and pick up a 3rd rounder.

So many good options in round one but I think we def need a OT in either FA in early in the draft. The rest is pure D.

If Graham would have been healthy then I would agree with this, but the scouting department can't predict injury which has been the main reason for his lack of field time.

If we trade down to #8, Warmack may not still be there. Just sayin'. I think if we get either MIllner, Jordan, or Fisher (doubt Joeckel will be there), we're good. We should know by Wednesday, what our draft needs should be.

God I hope so. Having no idea what he direction of his team is on offense or defense is killing me.
