Jon Cooper and Eddie Lacy.

yea cooper would be great too if warmack is off the board for me, lacy is a beast but I think or at least hope 1 of the 3 rookies we picked up last year will jump off this year with Jackson leaving if he does :cry:

2 beast receivers! interesting, I have faith in Givens that boy was starting to pick it up last year & looked good, I’m worried about Quick thought he dropped a lot of passes but looked boss when he would come through with the catches. Quick also made alot of rookie mistakes like only keeping 1 foot in on TD plays and just little rookie mistakes like that, I hope he can overcome them.

It depends on who's left on the board but I'd go for:
#16 Tavon Austin - I think we need a mercurial talent on our O and Special Teams
#22 Jarvis Jones / Alec Ogletree
#46 Larry Warford / Menelik Watson

I'm starting to think Austin doesn't even make it to 16. But if he does; I take Austin at 16.

Now... as I said; I don't think he makes it anymore.

So I take Keenan Allen and Menelik Watson.

If we sign Long; Vacarro and Allen.... or Allen and Elam.

Or, I stick with Allen and Watson and push Saffold inside.

Any way you slice it; I'm seeing Allen in horns.

exactly, i don't think Austin is going to make it that far as well, Allen is a solid physical receiver and the kid makes plays.

I'm hoping we land Long so that if we miss out on the top tier Guards and tackles we can shoot for Vacarro that kid looks like hes going to be the next big safety. the good thing about this years draft is there are a lot of great offensive linemen we can pick up in the 2nd and 3rd round, again if we miss out on the top tiers :cool:

I've been on the Lacy bandwagon for months. I don't know why everyone is so high on our backs without Jackson, richardsons a nice player but Pead showed literally nothing. It's too much to expect him to be successful next season although it would be nice. Austin is overrated, particularly on this board, so ill pass. Give me Vaccaro and Lacy.

I thought Pead showed some talent towards the end of the season. There's an esoteric rule the NFL has that says a player cannot begin training camp until that player's university graduates. Pead's college graduates late so he had a lot longer time to catch up. That's why I think he didn't show much until the end of the year. But he flashed at the end. He showed he could run in between the tackles and had fairy good vision and cut back ability.

Also, I think part of the reason people are high on our backs is that Fisher seems to be high on them.

Pead also supposedly didn't have the greatest OL in college. He subsequently had to improvise often and lost trust in his OL. Part of his apparent confusion in the pre-season, besides being behind in the playbook and reps, was his lack of trust in OL's. He had to had to accept that the Rams OL was not his collegiate OL.

He also had to learn the hard way that NFL defenders are smarter, understand angles to the ball better, and are better tacklers than his collegiate opponents. He had to junk his tendency for east-west running unless it was absolutely necessary in favor of a more northerly orientation. He had to learn to run with more discipline and allow his blockers time to do their jobs.

I expect to see a dramatically different Pead from last pre-season. I just hope both he and DR use their weight-strength programs to strike an optimal balance between speed, quickness, and strength.

I totally agree with your picks, assuming we get OT Long in FA.

It doesn't seem popular to have Keenan Allen as our first WR selected, but he's a perfect fit. We already have our speed guy in Givens. We have a gaggle of slot guys, including TE Cook. So we just need an upgrade for the "Gibson's role" (let's call it the X receiver) and Allen has the skill set to do so. He is NOT a developmental guy, like the WR from Tenn. He already runs clean routes and is a playmaker. In my opinion it is a no brainer.

Bradford is running out of time. He does not need any more skill guys that aren't ready to play come Sunday.

#16 WR Tavon Austin. With Danny gone, this is a no brainer. Coradarrelle Patterson, Lane Johnson, Joekel, and Fisher are all off the board. Best playmaker in the draft.

#22 G Jonathan Cooper. Best player available here, and he also fits a huge need. Plug and play, super athletic, very strong Guard, that can get to the outside and block screens and hitches for Cook, and Austin, and Givens. He would be a huge asset, and if Rok steps up, and Wells falls off, you could move him to Center, where he could be a Pro Bowler.

#46 LB Sio Moore. I love this kid, and he is rising up the boards quickly. He's our Sam linebacker who has pass rushing skills. A good all around football player. Would start from day one.

#78 FS Insert name here. Pick the best FS still available. I think Rambo, or one of the Thomas's, or Reid, or McDonald, Swearinger, Williams will be here. They are all a significant upgrade over our FS last season.
