You draft for skill when your picking this high. Perfect example of not is Sherman's draft. Always reached for need. Carroll was a reach. Another guy who we reached for was Jamal Reynolds at #10. We reached because of need. Always get the best value out of your pick. If you have Hawk graded as a top 5 talent. Then take him with the #5 pick. If you have Davis and not Hawk. Draft Davis in my opinion then.
Amen. Plus we are FINALLY in a position with a strong draft class to add depth and guys that can also contribute to special teams while working to be starters.
Even if TT doesn't do any fancy manuevering around with picks by virtue of having #5, #36, and, #67 we should see some talent coming on board.
I read some draft guru's take on this class and he said in evaluating players over the last three years there were only like 22 and 19 legitimate first round players the last two years and something like 41 guys with ratings that merit round 1 consideration this year.
If that is true we have had virtually no chance at a legitimate 1st rounder the last two years and this year we will get two.
If we were going to take one on the chin it looks like last year was the time to do it draft wise.
Let's do some damage!
