Didn’t watch the video, but if you’re criticizing Caleb in this current state of our defense, you really don’t know ball. There are times when he looks like the only defender that’s capable of understanding the flow of the game. And he’s a rookie. He’s the player I’m least worried about on the team, in fact.

I guess some people like to be pissed off all the time.

I think sometimes it's hard to judge a guy like Downs when the majority of our defense looks like shit. He does a lot of stuff that you won't see or notice when watching an NFL game. And also he was hyped up as such a god, that our owner just couldn't imagine life without, and so the expectation bar was set ridiculously high for this guy. When in reality he has taken on a tremendous load having to play multiple positions on defense from day one. That's a tough task that only a really good player can handle from day one as a rookie.

It's probably not a coincidence that the pass defense went to complete shit when he went out against Arizona.

You trade up one spot to take a safety at 12 or whatever, then hype him up as a football savant, the fans are going to expect Ed Reed instead of a guy just out there doing his job.

I know we've spent a bunch of 1st round picks on lineman the last few years but I can't say I would hate this.... especially if it means we finally get rid of terrible ass Terrence Steele.

I mean, I don't love the continually investment with top picks in the O-line that still somehow doesn't dominate. But you figure we are picking in the 20's. So at that point I'll just take the best player I can. I don't know that there is a position on this team that I'd be upset with drafting if they are a legit talent. And that's not to say we don't have talent. But I can't think of a position right now that I wouldn't take one more impact player. Safety is the closest to me going pass, but this year has made me realize that I'm not even sure that I'd pass on that.

In no particular order, obvious needs ahead of OL are:

TE
RB
QB
CB
LB
Edge

It would be severe malpractice to take yet another 1st round OL.
 
If we take a LT with the idea of moving them to RT I'd prefer Lauck.

I think their plan is to extend Jones for a year or two and let him battle with Steele in camp next year at RT, so I think our first will most likely be a WR (after Pickens leaves) or defense.

I agree on all points here.
 
The devil on my shoulder is advising me that i should promote the taking of an OL in the first.

 
Yeah, Overshown and Revel have worked so well lately... so let's use a first rounder on one!
