Here's the draft class that I've been rooting for:

1 (27) OLB Nick Perry
1 (31) DL Devon Still
2 (48) OLB Shae McClellin
2 (62) CB Chase Minnifield
3 (93) LB Bobby Wagner
4 (126) WR Ryan Broyles

Here's the draft class that I think best solves our needs:

1 (27) S Harrison Smith
1 (31) DL Devon Still
2 (48) DL Brandon Thompson
2 (62) CB Alphonzo Dennard
3 (93) OC David Molk
4 (126) OLB Ryan Davis

Which means passing on Nick Perry, Shae McClellin and Andre Branch a couple times each.

Of course, BB has never drafted a class that bears any resemblance to what I would want. Here's the a draft class that feels more realistic, assuming BB tries to move up:

1 (15) DL Michael Brockers
1 (31) trade into 2013 1st round + 2012 4th
2 (62) CB Jayron Hosley
3 (93) S Brandon Taylor
4 (126) OLB Ryan Davis
4 (??) CB Micah Pellerin

One starter and some high ceiling "who?!?" prospects that maybe feel a bit over-drafted.

And here's the draft class that might be more realistic, if BB can't or doesn't see the value to trade up:

1 (27) CB Dre Kirkpatrick
1 (31) traded into 2013 + 4th
2 (48) DL Brandon Thompson
2 (62) traded into 2013
3 (93) S Brandon Taylor
4 (126) OLB Ryan Davis
4 (??) CB Micah Pellerin

Really, a lot fewer players for the roster. Two starters and some guys who'll need to prove it on STs to make the team.

I could get on board with your first selections especially since their is a wide receiver in the mix.
