You and Adam really hit on why I started this post. I was in the woods when I sent it so I didn't give my complete thoughts. Next year we will have to decide if we want to sign Jennings and Tillman at corner, a replacement for Bush and heir to Forte, whether or not to extend Cutler and decide if we want Peppers at 16 mil and a replacement for Garza. So, I'm looking at getting DE, CB, RB, QB, DT and C. Things change fast in the NFL. I loved our draft. I think the only thing that would have made me happier would have been to have gotten Schwenke at some point somehow.

Exactly!

After reading posts about who we drafted and what our needs are/where brings a question to mind. Knowing our roster, free agents, draft choices and UDFA's; what our your thoughts for future needs? (This year and beyond...)

My immediate thought yesterday. Like the pick though...

I'll point it out when it happens again...

And you should try to use words in correct context. Check yourself before you check others.

I was never concerned.

I'm on an OL high right now. I wouldn't mind if they drafted Terron Armstead in the 2nd and Schwenke in the 4th. I'm just ready for some big guy domination!

I have no issues with this pick. Going into the draft I had guard and center as my number one needs. I don't think there was/is a better prospect availible. I suspect Emery tried to trade down, but nobody bit on the Te'o or QB hype. Win some lose some. So he takes a player he really likes. All good. Dude is a beast of an athlete.

I'm not mad at this pick...

I'm not mad

Can't believe the OT's went that high together. And Cooper, jeez!

100% agree with Pioli video.

McShay too.

I just saw Polian talking about Te'o on ESPN. He convinced me Te'o can play in the NFL. Not many people could have done that. I'm now, not against drafting him. Just not at 20. Not even Polian can convince me of that.

That's why I don't rule out Urlacher returning at some point this season...

I get/got that. It just doesn't make sense for other options.

I would think it would be somewhat counter productive as a draft smokescreen. Why would we fein interest in a player to make a team trade with us for that player. It's like saying "we really like this guy but we'll let you have him". If a team traded to get in front of us, wouldn't that mess up our trade down ability? What if it's a little message to our difficult QB?

Second that!

I like the picks, but can we really get that lucky with our trades? It would be great to have those 2 extra picks in the first 4 rounds.

I think we beat the Ravens and lose to the Saints,Rams and Vikings(in Minny). 9-7

Every coach I ever had demanded that. Why wouldn't they on the pro level?

Agreed as well. Austin is a luxury pick. We need the cake before the icing...

Not sure it is contradictory. The statement was made to show why first we are in the pinch we are in. The second part is to show the choices that are being made in the aftermath. That's why they were separated by paragraph.

It's all about deciding what is most important for the team in most cases. Lovie was all over D and horrible at developing personnel. That stagnated the O for years and we are still not out of it. When the drafting and spending is so blatantly lopsided a bias will show. Again, they have more tape and player history with guys currently on the team than we will ever have. They know secrets about players we will never know. For some reason they like Webb over Carimi. It may be medical, mental or simply execution they are seeing. As far as blind trust is concerned, I have three and only three people.(None of them are in the NFL) I do know that IMO Webb is better than Carimi, just as I thought he was better than Williams last year. It's based on production and the feel I get from analyzing them.
