As the draft approaches there are more questions than Answers, However, the underlining theme remains PLAYMAKERS.....
1st Round Pick (21) - Anthony Spencer - DE - Purdue
-This was a difficult pick. Battle myself with WR,LB, and S positions. At the end of the day Mike knows we need a pass rush desperately. Anthony Spencer should help the pass rush immediately. Trading out of the first round remains a viable option.
2nd Round Pick (56) - Craig Davis - WR - LSU
-As much as we pretend it isnt, Wide Reciever is a position of need. Craig Davis fills the vertical threat role that Ashley Lelie has left vacant. I personally feel he will be a better player than teammate David Bowe. Also has potential as a return man. Can be special after the catch.
3rd Round Pick (70) - Marcus Thomas - DT - Florida
-The premier interior pass rush lineman. Problem is he has some character issues. Mike Shannahan is known to gamble and reaches on someone every year. With the extra pick in the third, the gamble comes now. Reminds me ALOT of Warren Sapp.
3rd Round Pick (86) - John Wendling - S - Wyoming
-Not thrilled with this pick probably wouldnt get on the field until Lynch retired, but he could be a hell of a player with the type of talent he possesses.
6th Round Pick (176) - Prescott Burgess - OLB - Michigan
-Sleeper prospect that has solid quickness and the size to play on the strongside.
6th Round Pick (198) - Jacob Bender - OT - Nicholls State
-Practice squad player with potential to be a starter a couple years down the line.
7th Round Pick (233) - Thomas Clayton - RB - Kansas St.
-Another Late Round Gem for Shanny at the RB position.
Adding both Spencer and Thomas to the defensive line are sure to shore up our pass rush problems. Both would be rotational situation players until they developed into the studs they are destined to be. Craig Davis is a mjaor sleeper prospect that could catipult our recieving core from questionable to solid.
