[QUOTE="FaninColorado, post: 808449, member: 12287"] If we happen to stay draft around the number 10 pick. There are a number of players that we should be looking at. Obviously there will be many opinions on whom we should draft, but here is my take on it. On the defensive side we have fully invested and failed on so many draft picks lately that it has also now started to take a toll on the offensive side as well. Pettine has at least made the defense a somewhat better and still should be given pieces to continue to improve, but I would like to see much of the improvement to be done in free agency with the draft supplementing those pickups. Getting Dante Fowler, Shaquil Barrett or Anthony Barr, and Earl Thomas or Honey Badger would significantly make this defense better and wouldn't require the use of many top draft picks to help as well. We should be prioritizing offense early unless say a defensive star falls to us (John Allen, Nick Bosa, or Ed Oliver type player). Currently, it looks like 2 maybe 3 teams in front of us might need to use their first round pick on their new QB's (NYG, JAX,and Cinn and possibly TB). With our first pick, I want to see it be [B]Jonah Williams[/B] or [B]Greg Little[/B]. While both of these might not make it down to us, if they do we should immediately get that pick in. This Aaron Rodgers has had one of his worst perceived years and it is directly related to our O-Line being poor and to injuries & youth at our receivers. What I mean with the O-Line is that not only did the O-Line struggle keeping ARod healthy, they also led Rodgers to experience happy feet because his O-Line wasn't the same as it has been. Outside of Bahk and Lindsey, the entire rest of the line needs to be improved thru new players thru the draft and free agency. There are a few defensive players that if they dropped to us I'd pick first, but if those players don't fall to us... we should be targeting both of these players for our first pick. Our second pick obviously becomes more a trap shoot in picking so early, but again I'd really like to see it be on the offensive side of the ball. Davante Adams has been amazing, but both he and ARod need more help on the outside to maximize this offense. I'm not sure that any of the WR's we currently have can be that #2 that makes defenses think differently about how they currently cover us.
