Not that Gordon isn't a good player...

..., but spending anything higher than a fourth round pick on a running, well...

, we've just got needs at Center, Both Guards, Outside Linebacker, Inside Linebacker, and, the 'other' Cornerback...

I'd rather re-sign Roll-Tide, or sign Ryan Matthews, Darren McFadden, Reggie Bush...

...we've got 20 big ones tied into Brees, with big commits to Colston and Graham, plus Stills and Cooks...

Just makes no sense to commit that much to one RB when we're a RB-by-committee team...

Might spend a third on Indiana's Tevin Coleman, an excellent complimentary back to what we're doing...

The RB via UDFA thing has been too bad either...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2015 draft??

Chances are we will get our hands on a good OL or pass rusher. Worst case scenario we have a good position to trade from and get a additional pick later on.

After Beasley, only pass rushers I'd want are:

OLB Dante Fowler Jr., 6' 3", 261 lbs. - Round 1
OLB Eli Harold, Virginia, 6' 3", 245 lbs. - Round 1
OLB Lorenzo Mauldin, Louisville, 6' 4", 255 lbs. - Round 2/3
OLB Zach Hodges, Harvard, 6' 2", 250 lbs. - Round 4
OLB Davis Tull, Chattanooga, 6' 2", 246 lbs. - Round 4/6
OLB Jake Ryan, Michigan, , 6' 2", 240 lbs. - Round 6
OLB Tony Washington, Oregon, 6' 4", 247 lbs. - Round 6

Fowler will also be gone, maybe before Beasley...
Harold is the only one we'd have a chance, but Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Arizona, Kansas City are sure to snag him mid-Round 1 where he should fall...
Mauldin could geaux in the late second round...
Hodges is a real question as he didn't have a great combine other than interviews...
Tull is being mocked as high as the third round, I like in 5-6 round...
Ryan is a great football player with limited athleticism, like him better as a two down thumper...
Washington is an intriguing prospect; he needs a year in an NFL weight lifting program though...

Gregory, Ray and Dupree just don't like; not just because of scheme, but just feeling bust with them because they're undersized and are third down specialists...

Know we were just spit-ballin', but I'd really like to geaux to the Redskins and swap first rounders, for Junior Galette...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2015 draft??

OL Brandon Scherff, or La'el Collins

huge cap friendly pick ups. plus i have to put Jr on the back burner for Washington. Perfect trade bait is either Grubbs or Evens. Washington needs either guards. heck they need a center too

If we draft one of the two best ROT?LG prospects in the draft why not pick up the phone to Washington and move up in the second?

RT/LT Jake Fisher still my fav for RT
OG/OC Ali Marpet come on Hobort on OL just fits
OG/OT Sean Hickey is on my radar. need to see what he does on his pro day.

They need a pass rusher opposite Kerrigan, and don't think Payton is playing games if he hasn't come out and spoke against it...

Cap ramifications?!?

Like Fisher if he's there in round 2, but if we're moving up, it should be for Beasley, a game changer...

Lot of issues about Hickey's functional strength; I want bad @$$e$ on the offensive line, mean nasty types to wallop on those underrated pass rushers that Seattle has...

Re: 2015 draft??

i am not impressed with most of the OLB in the draft. the ones i like have red flags off the field or injury issues.

so i am leaning more to ILB

3 down

Eric Kindricks - out of the box plug in 34 ILB? lacks the bulk but instincts, speed and ball-skills are off the chart
booby prize
Stephone Anthony- #1 upside ILB with 3 down possibilities

2 down thumpers right now

Benardrick McKinney - size alone but needs work promise as a 3 down
booby prize
Taiwan Jones - miss McKinney then he is a solid booby prize. might only be a two down thumper

Other we have not talked about really

Trey Flowers (DE, Arkansas) - i just keep going back to him over and over again. i think he can develop into a solid three-down player in the NFL.

Preston Smith (DE, Mississippi State)
is another option here

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (CB, Oregon) - day 2 pick to man the slot might be the injury steal of the draft. round 4?

Blake Bell (TE, Oklahoma) - interesting day three prospect to develop? 6’6″ 260 4.80 in the 40, 4.32 and 11.81 shuttles? sure hands and shown improvement as a blocker. lets bum Jimmy out in two years and make him a WR lol

Re: 2015 draft??

Agree with you about offensive line. What team needs is players with attitude on defense even more. I get it, character counts but there has to be players out there that don't get arrested and play with a mean streak on the field
