So the draft is coming up and we have the 12th overall pick....what do we do? Then after the 1st round, where do we go from there? We have the 43 (2nd), 75 (3rd), 106 (4th), 181 (6th), 225 (7th) picks.
Lets start where I think we might go first....DE. I think Quinton Couples, 6'6" 284 lbs might be the guy they go after. They may look at Nick Perry of whom Pete Carroll recruited to USC. He comes in at 6'3" 271 lbs. If they don't go DE first, they may look to go ILB. Luke Kuechly's name has been thrown around. At 6'3" 242 lbs, Luke is a pretty good sized kid with some good speed with a 40 yard time of 4.5.
Could we go for a OG for the third straight year? I don't know that this is such an driving need for someone early on as we have some good guys in the trenches, we just need to stay healthy. I could see them going for a 2nd round OG though.
Michael Lombardi for the NFL network has suggested taking a CB such as Stephon Gilmore from South Carolina. Had a good combine and a strong 40 time. But do we really need a CB? Browyner is solid. Thurmond and Sherman are both tall and fiscal and still both young. It is a position that takes some time getting used to the NFL speed, especially going up against a receiver all game long like Larry Fitzgerald twice a year. Remember that Thurmond only played 1.5 games.
I will try and get some solid predictions of my draft picks by next week.
