[QUOTE="DergaSmash, post: 362597, member: 2194"] A lot of you guys make some valid points and have pretty cogent arguments but I see the Pack's needs a little differently. [B]Most needed- DE/OL[/B]: I think that Jenkins and Jolly are both going to be gone. This draft has a lot of First Round Worthy talent on the defensive line. Many have some risk but thats expected in the first round. If he falls to us, I really like Muhammad Wilkerson from Temple. As for OL, its a need. We are going to lose Colledge to FA, Clifton is not getting any younger, and as much as it pains me to say, I think Tauscher is done. Bulaga played well and will get better but we need a replacement for Clifton. OL is also pretty stacked for First Round Worthy talent in this years draft. [B]Needed but not critical- OLB/WR/CB:[/B] Talent worthy to start at these positions would be great. Unfortunately, I don't really see all that many this year, and I don't think any will fall to the 32nd pick. I think Von Miller is the only OLB worthy of a first round look. The rest are a reach if taken before mid-second round. Brooks Reed is a good player but until his flashy workout numbers he was a mid-late second round pick. Yet just like every year, analysts fall in love with 40 times or bench reps and guys start to climb. Brooks Reed is one of these guys. I love Brooks Reed at 64, not at 32. WR is also a need I feel.
