Yo Bro, tell my nephew good job.

Now on to the main criticisms:

1. We need a LT more than nearly anything else. Sure we have Keith (I project him to guard) and Johnson on the roster, but we also need more depth. And unfortunately we need a LT, which of course is very hard to find a competent one. If Williams can play LT then I'd make the move, but that's a stretch to say the least.

2. OLB/ILB needs more depth, and I would address that more. We need to pick up probably a minimum of 3 LBs in the draft, 2 relatively high. Maybe switch out Canfield for a ILB?

3. I wouldn't draft multiple receivers, Mcgaha doesn't have much of a shot of making the roster. No way would he beat out Fitz, (Boldin), Breaston, Doucet, Urban, or the practice squad guys. He's a good college player, but he isn't even as good as Keith Poole was as a pro or college player. I would be in favor of using a 3-4 round pick on a lightning bug. I do realize that essentially, Stephens-Howlling sort of fits this bill, but I'm talking about a guy with a higher size/speed ratio and could finally give us a big time kickoff threat.

I'm going to signup for one of the draft sites and I'll post a mock up soon, especially after the combine and the like. Since I have nothing really better to do being stuck in Iraq and all :).

Really?

Tell me how many points did Bridges allow the last 2 weeks? After allowing 90 points & 900 yards defensively I think a LT is very low on the totem pole right now. This team needs at 3-4 LB'ers & 2-3 guys in the secondary.

I like McGaha in the 6th round if Boldin is traded. Even as a UofA guy, I appreciate his talents and thinks he has the best hands in the draft

Watching Kurt Warner constantly avoiding pressure didn't hammer that in? :p

Especially AFTER Warner retires, the odds are the next QB will not avoid the blitz as well. Kurt is actually very good at it, and it's much harder to find a good LT than it is to draft a pass rushing OLB or CB depth...

Good teams don't wait until positions like LT become a problem, they address them in advance. Now if the coaching staff thinks that Levi can make the transition and Keith/Johnson can play RT, then by all means skip drafting a LT.

Behind you
ILB- will be priority one. Dansby is G-O-N-E. No way the Cards pay him. He proved time and time again that if he had a long term deal he wouldn't play hard. Plus the problems the team had with him in the past are too present. Cards will shoot and hope for another Patrick Willis at the top of the draft. They will take either of the top 2 ILB's if avail. If not...they move on.

DE- Oak is getting long in the tooth and you can never have enough pass rush. Look for a 3-4 LB/DE

CB - need depth - Adams is too small and now proven he can be picked on.

TE - Whis loves a good TE, but hasn't been able to land one. He went after Kelly from the Bengals, but failed. He'd love to have a strong weapon at TE.

last - anyone looking at an 8 round mock has way too much time. Do something else. Experts are lucky to get 3 picks right out of an entire draft...yes 3. Most only get 2-3 picks correct.
