My priorities would be to tag or sign Fuller, and hopefully
resign Prince to a 2 or 3 year deal. Release Cooper. Draft the
best CB or d lineman/outside line backer. 2nd round, consider
what you didn't draft in the first round, and add offensive
lineman to the mix. Then start looking at wide receivers that
aren't necessarily sprinters but get open and catch, nice frame.
Those guys are a little easier to find, and with Meredith going
down, we didn't have one until we obtained Inman. The Packers
have done a nice job of drafting receivers later, something like
what they have done. You may have to dip into the late 2nd
round to get that one, but that is where I value the WR position
in our needs and the risk.

Not me. I still think we need an edge rusher and at #8 with a
boatload of premier QBs in this draft we could come out with the
best player provided we are smart enough. Count me as obsessed.

You have to be impressed Fuller and Amakamura stayed healthy all
season. Especially Amakamura who has a long injury history to
the point the Giants gave up on him.
The Bears spot in the draft is pretty interesting as well as
risky.
seems everyone has Chubb as the best pass rusher and an early
pick leaving us Arden Key if we want one. But (I don't watch a
lot of college) it looks like he's had injuries this year and
missed their bowl game.
Same for the OT Williams. I saw some of the Notre Dame tackle
and there was one game early where he really struggled with a
speed rusher.
I would love to have Fitzpatrick but looks like he'll go before
our pick. Unless we lose one to FA we have 4 DB's who played
well and stayed healthy.
We may be left seeing at 8 the best WR's and interior LB's on
the board. Is Calvin Ridley as good as Amari Cooper? Is the
next Urlacher out there at LB?
Overall unless someone drops I would love to trade back a bit
and get the third round pick back.

I suspect the draft will come down to the love and needs for the
QBs. Clearly there is going to be some serious wheeling and
dealing. Its difficult at this point to say who is going to be
there at #8, but I do like the odds that a very good defensive
player will be there. As for the cries for an OLman, I will wait
to see what comes out of the combine. And I havent heard about
what happened to the Wisky Olinemen. But just a guess is that
the quality isnt worthy of 1st round grade or at least high 1st
round grade. That makes the bowl games and the combine very
important.

You can be sure 4 QB's are going early.

I saw every game of McGlinchey's career and I dont think he will
develop into an elite LT. He might be an upgrade over Leno in a
year or two, but that is not worth a #8 pick. I think his
teammate Nelson could be an elite OG, but I dont think that he's
worth the #8 either. The ND OL is way overhyped every
preseason, but never plays up to it IMO. If Pace trades down
into the teens with a qb hungry team then maybe they take one of
those guys. If they stay at 8, I'd take the best edge
available, maybe go Fitzpatrick if he's there.

My outside backer was meant to be an edge rusher... assuming we
keep the 3 / 4. Cornerback or edge rusher for me At 8, and
with 3 possible QB selections, we should be in line for a good
one

In the mock I posted earlier, both Key and Fitzpatrick were
available at 8, but Arizona offered their 1, 2, and 3 to move up
7 spots, so I took their deal.
Key went to SF with the next pick, Fitz actually fell to 14,
which hurt a bit...
