I know this is always speculation and wishful thinking but I am a bit of a NFL draft/NCAAF recruiting dork so here goes..
Obviously the 2nd round pick is gone with the move up for RG3 (which I for one..think is a great/must move). That leaves us with a 3rd and two 4t hround picks..and then some later ones (don't put a great amount of stock in these). IMO the most glaring needs for this team is in the secondary, Oline, and to a lesser degree Dline and LB (depth). Any thoughts on who might be there in the 3rd and 4th round picks and who we may target??? My thoughts...
3rd Round...If (big IF) Jayron is there..we have to take him, I think Minnifield is a decent prospect there as well. But I would take Brandon Boykin (UGA) over CM and I think if they target a DB and he is there, you have to take him. He had a great!! bowl game, good senior bowl week (minus the injury) and has a ton of upside. He is very versatile and is a return guy too. At worst he is a kick returner and a #4/nickel CB.
I also like a Bobby Massie there in the third. If Zebrie Sanders (FSU) were to some how sneak into the 3rd he is someone you would have to take there as well. Nate Potter (Boise) and Datko (FSU) are also good 4-5th round options at RT IMO. Vontaze Burfict (minus the prima-donna attitude and possible character issues) has massive upside and is now projected in the late 3rd to 5th round range. I am
not sure if he would be a good fit..but if you could get him in the 4th/5th
and have him play with/behind London for a few years (assuming we resign him). He could maybe rub off on him and he could be a total steal in this draft. His combine and interviews sucked..but he was once considered a 1st round guy, I think rolling the dice on him with a 4th is a decent gamble..
And Oh yeah..I don't give a damn if we have 2 rookies (Paul and Hank), Moss, and two newly signed free agent WR's (Morgan and Garcon)..If Danny MF Coale is there in the 5th or 6th..then get him. I dunno..maybe I am being a homer. I just really believe he could be a VERY serviceable player on someone's roster. He is worth a late round pick..easily.
I haven't been super excited about what we have gotten in FA thus far. I think getting Garcon and Morgan (on the cheap) were good moves. Carriker (while very serviceable was probably overpaid) and Merriweather (the jury is out) maybe not quite as excited about. I think we need to use the 3 picks we have in the 3rd and 4th rounds very wisely. We have put all of our eggs in one basket to get RG3 (which I am thankful for..cant win w/out a QB..but it is leaving us thin at other positions..notably DB, OL, and DL/LB...
