Final season stats for defense

ILB - time to homegrown some studs

Once we solidify the middle half of our second level, the sky is the limit.

WR - Offense has gotten a bit stagnant. In a extremely deep receiver class coming out, a mid round investment in a WR could pay off in spades.

OL- Well, duh.

Not overly concerned about making any big changes to our secondary. As long as the pressure is coming, they'll be as good as they need to be.

Oh, and give me Aaron Murray.

Please no.

Murray = a college version of Tony Romo. Puts up good #s but chokes in late game situations.

I sure wish he had choked against LSU earlier this year... had one of his better performances of the season.

Scapegoat. Plenty blame to go around as they've underachieved on both sides of the ball. You also need to remember it's college football and how young these kids are. Also I found this little nugget that shares similar views.

I'm not advocating taking Murray with an early pick, but given his situation(big injury), if he's still there on day 3, it could be a solid investment. I like Griffin and all, but it doesn't make him Drew's eventual successor. Competition is healthy.

Actually, really like our WR corps, with the exception/slight disappointment in Toon...

Don't get paying Colston (who is worth it) that kind of money and not using him?!?

Again, with Stills' development, Moore's price may be too high with upcoming contracts to get done (Graham)...

Saints must really like Griffin to have kept Rams away from him; so unless Murray is going to supplant Drew, or some other freakish talent falls in the draft, I don't us taking anything but DB, LB, and OL...

And you're right, it's a no brainer that we've got definite commitments to make to the offensive line in the draft...

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
