Colin Cowherd asked King that question this afternoon, in light of Kraft's comments about Myra's passing, his own sense of mortality, etc.

FWIW, King's answer was, in one word: "No."

Agree or disagree?

Not sure. He has to fix the defensive backend. The problem is that the Safety class this year is awful. Most of them are true SS, which we do not need. The FS class is just non existent.


There is no FS I like this year. So we could be picking up a 2nd round CB and move either McC or Ras I Dowling to FS.

He feels no pressure.

But you never know. We didn't see the '07 offseason coming, either. And unlike last year, free agency predates the draft, so BB doesn't have to fill needs that way which can be addressed through FA.

Last couple years he seems to take a position and go all in on it. 2 years ago it was TE, last year it RB. This year, ??? It won't be receiver more than likely and I don't know what type of class we'll be getting (which positions are strongest).

But, I imagine BB will do with his picks as he usually does unless he sees the player he really has to have.

Agree. BB doesn't give a **** what us retards on message boards and all the media idiots around the country have to say. He makes makes the best choice given the information that is available. He's here to put together a good team and win games. He's been a HC in 5 super bowls, he doesn't have to people please anymore.

Deus Irae

Free agency is before the draft. He'll pick through the free agents and then look at the draft board. I doubt he feels any particular pressure about the draft.

He needs to find players. They don't need to be found via the draft.

Front 4 needs more of a fixing. You can hide the DB flaws if you have stout front 4(ie Giants)
-Carter will be 34 and not a full time player with injury and age
-Ellis, Warren are 34+, old and done
-Resign Mark Anderson ?
-Wilfork will be 31 this year with no backup
-Brace, supposedly wilfork backup, is a bust
-Rest of D line are JAGS be it Deadrick, Love

I like this years draft talent so i feel this will be a good draft regardless of how where we pick. I just hope we don't squander anymore picks on has-beens. I didn't expect much from ocho the moment I heard rumors of his arrival here but he didn't even come close to the low expectations I placed on him. Better yet, BB should be banned from trading for players during training camp altogether. That should prevent anymore ochos, haynesworths, and derrick burgess from coming here.

By leveraging his draft picks he is getting 3-4 picks in the first 3 rounds every year. If he uses all the picks the leverage goes away and he only has 2 picks in those rounds.

So if you want to consistently get to the tournament you do it the way BB does it.

I agree

Kraft does not interfere with strictly football decisions.....he's the money man

and define 'using a draft pick' ....... as in drafting someone or trading one for say , mario williams or mike wallace?

yes.....all of the draft picks will be used.....they're not going to give any of them away.
