We will prob address the TE need in the 6th. Rex Ryan clearly feels his defense was good but the offense needed some future talent. WR we will just have to do.
if you're starting a rookie QB (or at best an inexperienced QB in Clemons) having a run game is crucial. Nice pick. As for our needs - we can pick up a blocking TE after the draft, no big deal. I would like to see some D-line depth. If Jenkins gets hurt, we're in serious trouble. Plus, we are dangerously thin at DE.
We will fill our remaining holes with free agency. Or maybe a trade or two... Would Arizona take a #2 next year for Boldin and if so, can we afford to sign him to a multi-year contract?
As a Penn State fan I kind of have mixed feelings about the players we got. On the one hand they are both great prospects but they both almost singlehandedly destroyed Penn State last year for their only 2 losses. So much for getting Derrick Williams...
We will have to wait and see if someone gets cut or there is always next years draft. We have a new QB now and if he starts he will have to take if lumps and learn how to read the NFL's defensive schemes. So I am sure we will have a good pick next year. BUT Sanchez will have one full year under his belt. OH BABY.
Brad Smith singlehandedly destroyed my USC Gamecocks in a bowl game, I got over that. Shonn Green destroyed the Gamecocks last year in the same bowl game, so I know what you mean. At least you know he's that good.
