[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 662977"] Med determinations for these kinds of issues are rarely definitive in that way. More like a range of possibilites, best case and worst case. It's a risk / reward calculation and ultimately a football decision colored by the decision maker's taste for risk. The longer Thompson's string of playoff appearances, the more conservative he's been in the draft. Judging from the first pick, I'd say risk aversion is firmly in place. He already said pre-draft, "I like or ILBs". And he has finally conceded that he looks at the depth chart and longevity issues in terms of need, as if we didn't know that all along, whereas he seems comfortable at the ILB position. So, given the variety of factors, I would not expect him to have interest in any of those 3 guys before somebody else steps in to take the risk. Needs from a depth chart and longevity standpoint (whether age or potential free agency) suggests a couple of more likely possibilities on day 2: O-Line, OLB, or even D-Line once again if Pennel is on the way out, which the Clark pick hints may be a possibility. We're where we've been for the last 5 years: do what it takes to fill holes and get back to the playoffs, then see what happens. High ceiling / low floor is not in the cards. [/QUOTE]
