Idk if any of you are still around; but who do you guys want in the upcoming draft?

I am really hoping we get a top 3 pick and can nab Jadeveon Clowney or around 5-7 for Anthony Barr... We NEED to address our defensive front 7 this year.

I know we need some serious help on the o-line as well, but hopefully we can address that in the later or in the 2nd round. If we fell to around 10-12ish I could see us taking at OT in Jake Matthews, Taylor Lewan or Cyrus Kouandjio.

What do you guys think?

o-line is the bigger issue imo, then d-line

hard to win games when you bring in a guy who's had like 10 straight 1,000 yard seasons and he looks like a high school back and then your QB is averaging like 2.5 seconds before contact...

I agree, but we cannot pass up Clowney or Barr if we get that high of a pick. Baker, Johnson will be back next year and we can utilize our 2nd/3rd pick for a tackle/guard I would hope. We don't need a secondary (outside of DeCoud) but our linebacking corp and our d-line is atrocious. . and has been for the last few years.

Jake Matthews out of Texas A&M. If he has a pro career anything like his father, he could man left tackle from day one and be an All Pro for the next 15 years. He can also play right tackle but his value is that he's so versatile it doesn't matter what position he plays. He's a solid pass blocker and run blocker.

Why do we wanna win all of a sudden? We were pretty much locked into a top 3 pick. And should of just lost out. But we keep putting up a fight.
