Default Will this be the year we use a first rounder on a lb?

Is this the year? With all the picks we have, seems like we can inject a shot of youth all over this team. Aside from the lb core, and old man harrison, we are young on defense.

I would love to see Jerry Jones give us those two first rounders and Marion the barbarian if our pick can land Mcfadden.

I know thats a lot to give up , but Jones is apparently obsessed with Mcfadden.

I know, but one can wish right? You dont think if we had say the fourth pick , and Mcfadden was on the board jones ( or someone else) would be foaming at the mouth for the kid?''

With what Petterson is doing this year, I feel like we could get big time value if we worked something out.


This team is so good right now. It would be almost illegal to have a patriots type draft and load up for the future, AGAIN.

Yes. We will use a #1 on a LB this year. It's the perfect storm of desperate need (Bruschi retiring, Seau POSSIBLY retiring) and opportunity (a high #1 and a good LB draft class).

Book it. Finally.

I doubt it. Not in our system. Most linebackers aren't big enough out of college. I can see them drafting a DE to play linebacker but not a college linebacker unless they really like him.

The nay-sayers can be rebutted with the following two words: Logan Mankins.

There's not really a LB worth a top 5 pick. Probably the only way the Pats take one is if they trade down.

Even if they weren't, they aren't starting LBs anymore.

I really think we need some youth at lb. Every year it's , there are no good lbs in the draft. How did paul poz do for the bills when he was healthy?

It depends how high the pick is. If it's 5-10 and Laurinaitis declares, I could see picking him or maybe dan connor. If it's top 5...I dunno I don't think that's great value for a top 5 pick, unless it is Laurinaitis. I would almost rather they pick up Kenny Phillips there at SS if JL doesn't come out.
