If you want defense at #6, assuming the following are gone..

I wouldn't complain about any of them at #6 nor would I be surprised if one of them slips to 17. Teams panic if they think there will be a run on a position that is thin thinking they can draft defense later in the draft. A run like that could force one of the front 7 guys to slide to 17. There are still some opinions (Dave T, Brian Billick) who think all these QBs are being pushed up by need. When these QBs started rising on everyone's boards and Mocks all I could think of is Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, & Christian Ponder in 2011. Billick made reference to them on the NFL network this week.....Again My VP coaches at the best HS Football School in our state. He has former players in the Big Ten and SEC. He was told Haskins gets rattled easily by a big time DC from the Big Ten. I think our #1 goal is to fix the defense. Don't spread yourself too thin! When you get to #95 and 108 there should be players of equal rank at multiple positions. Then look at need.

At 6, character is priority 1. Wilkins and Q fit the bill. Tillery and Oliver do not.

who created a problem is gone and DG saying building a roster is more than collecting talent, I can't see them drafting Oliver.

Bingo. Tillery likely off the board too.

Between Burns, Ferrell, Sweat, Wilkens -- or even an OT. Whoever THEY think is the best pass rusher for their system. Or fix the ORT if the values are similar.

Those options are good. Would consider trading down a couple of spots of another team was interested.

Pick up a 2nd round pick + and be super aggressive moving up for specified targets the rest of the draft

...Oliver.

He is the best pass rusher available at that point IMO. Like Wilkins and White too.

Oliver has the most upside for today's NFL: interior penetrator who can grow to be 2nd to Donaldson and not by much.

D. White - starts day 1 and shines in the NFL, a probowl caliber player who will want big money when his day comes as he has said as much. Makes me wonder about his character, his psyche a little bit???

Wilkins - safe, solid pick and not what I'd want for #6 but definitely for #17 should he fall.

Sweat may be great and maybe not??? Not sure????

My gut tells me QB Murray goes #1 and SF, Oakland and the Jets (at least one of them, maybe 2) trade down because someone wants Haskins and Jones or maybe Lock before the Giants pick? That is my hope maybe more than my gut.

Would be a great 1st rnd!!

and one of his team mates at #17

can be the best fit with our current roster but that coyld change based on their plans for the rest of the draft or a shuffle of current roles. A guy that can play the edge, the 5 and kick in and play the 3 tech in pass rush packages is a perfect fit.

Sweat offers so much upside and help in pass rush packages but the argument could be made that Golden or Carter would be semi neturalized to get him on the feild.


White slots right in but can he deliver the impact you want at 6, Oliver could be the biggest impact player in the draft but feels like the piece to add to a good d more the build with.

Wilkins is no risk fill a role but with hill and tomlinson i see redundacy that doesnt mesh perfectly

I would be very happy if they draft Wilkins at 6 and Ferrell at 17.

Both players would be excellent additions

he will not be there at 17 and he will make our other lineman better by bringing the pressure.

I still have nightmares watching opposing teams offenses easily attacking the middle of our defense. White on the inside plus the addition of Peppers and Bethea hopefully improves our pass coverage in the middle of the field. Plus White can run down RB’s sideline to sideline that we haven’t seen in 30 years.

He's going to be a good one

.

I wouldn't risk on Sweat's medicals, he's not the total package on the football field and the pick is too important.

.

They were talking with someone who has seen Oliver his entire college career. He mentioned the injury as a concern but also mentioned the fact that his numbers went down this past year. The reason he sited was the fact that he was double teamed almost all the time and triple teamed on many occasions. The 2 LB's playing behind him led the team in tackles which tells me he's a handful and then some. He can play both inside and outside. Reminds me of Justin Tuck and Usi.
