Thank you, Box, for all of your hard work.

My shopping list:

1) 12 different starters last year. DB's! Our current crop has talent but also seems too fragile. And we need at least one elite corner.
1A) CB. Shutdown cover corner.
1B) Rodney was hurt and has a few miles. Project
player to learn from and someday replace him.

2) DE/OLB Willie replacement project...and/or

3) ILB Vrabel replacement so he can move outside

4) RB Pass or Faulk replacement project. No Dillon replacemets available this year.

5) OG/C project/practice squad. Big if: if there are any around worth taking.

6) Solid tough #2 reciever. A few available mid rounds.

7) ST's K, KR/PR, Gunners.

After the draft: An upgrade at the strength/conditioning coach, or more help there. Near the top of the league 2 of the last 3 years in injuries is not just a co-incidence.

If we need five draftees to contribute in 2006, then we are not a playoff team as of now. A team like Cleveland NEEDS five players to contribute. bb pride himself with not NEEDING contributions from rookies unless there are multiple injuries.

IMHO, we need a linebacker (preferably outside), which I had hoped would come from another team, rather than the draft. As rook has pointed out, we may now need three draft choices to move up to get a linebacker in the first. And we would still likely use another pick later. We now have Colvin, Alexander, Banta-Cain and Claridge as OLB's. Two more could easily make the squad. If there are no transactions before the draft, the one need will drive our entire draft strategy.

As rook further points out, the team is prepared to use the draft picks on this one position because the Management has done such a great job in building depth throughout the rest of the team (except at receiver).

Default Shopping List

1. Wide Receiver (but we should not overpay for mediocre talent)

2. Linebacker (surely there will be one good one available to us)

3. Strong Safety (only if a possible Rodney replacement is available)

4. Nose Tackle (back-up)

5. Developmental QB (if Cassel is good enough to be the primary back-up, now is the time to go fishing)

6. BPA (I think that we could probably still get a good blocking no 3 TE through free agency. If all of our other draft picks had to be packaged for just 1-5 I'd have no problem)

In this draft the supply of true vertical WRs does not meet demand. Someone will overdraft a WR and try to plug him into the wrong role. BB has been kown to go that route. When BB took Branch in the second round, people thought he overdrafted Branch, fortunately that was not the case. Later when BB took Bethel in the second round, again people thought Bethel was overdrafted, unfortunately they may be right.

Regardless of the WR crop or lack thereof, my shopping list is as follows:

Major needs
1.) Playmaker in the secondary.
2.) Nastiness on the OL.
3.) Depth at WR and LB.
Minor needs
1.) Backup QB (if Flutie retires)
2.) Backup/Developmental NT (I don't see Wright as this man.)
3.) Devlopmental RB.

Bump.

As far as QB goes, the team wont draft one, imo. We already have a promising young prospect who looked very 2001 TB like in the Miami game. We will take a saavy vet to fill a void in case the hell mouth opens and we lose both of the qb's currently on our roster.

Very interesting. Do you have any strategy to go with it? What position to look for with which pick, or are all there guys together "value groups"?

1st round dictates most of my tactics, other then consensus top 10 players like Hawk, Davis, or Ngata, I only like Lawson and Winston in the first round, and if Lawson came off early I'd be looking to move down, hopefully picking up a 1st in 2007 and another 2nd.

I'm not that concerned that BB move picks into 2007 as some have suggested, NE has 7 picks already, with enough FA losses to be confident of 2 more compensatory picks. But an extra first next season wouldn't hurt if it kept you from reaching for a player at 21. If push comes to shove and Winston was also gone with no trade offer worth the return value, grab Klopfenstein or Colledge and enjoy the howls of offended fans (and before you ask, I'd spend 21 on a 3rd string TE and a #4 LT before Mangold, but I'm crazy that way ).

I have my shopping list:

OT - someone to push Britt for the swing tackle job.
OC/OG - Reserve/Practice Squad/2007 starter
CB - Nickelback/PR/KR/Practice Squad
RB - Practice Squad/PR/KR
LB - 2-3 DE/OLB for Special Teams and 3-4 development
STs - PR/KR, LB/SS
WR - possession receiver to complement Branch, PR/KR

which adds up to 11 picks give or take a couple. rook has done a breakdown showing no room for 11 draft picks in the 53, but I'm more liberal in my math; 53 + 8 + IR = draft flexibility. BB is currently thinner then normal at LB and already at Training Camp levels for DBs; does this mean he is going for more speed on Special Teams? Or, is there room to draft 2, 3, 4... LBs and get younger there? I think we have a starting front seven in the mix of DL/LB currently on the roster, with this fine crop of LBs, go ahead and use your 11 draft picks to create competition and diversify against risk. The same holds for CB, OL, and KR/PR, why wait to pick through the UDFA players for another Gay or Wright, or stockpile for next year when the Pats are already looking to have a draft hand similar to 2005's.

The one targeted player I have is Mike Hass, I still think he is the best complement to Deion in this draft and I would manuever to take him in the second. I believe Ochmed commented on his 3-cone which helps explain his ability to get open.
