I could see Baldwin dropping to where we pick and at this point, I think he has a really good chance at being our top pick

Floyd isnt available enough to warrant a very high pick and Julio Jones drops as many passes as Bowe.

No way Green is there when we pick, but I could see Baldwin being there and if he is, he would be a good pick.

My hope is that we pick up a burner WR, a NT, and a pass rusher from this draft. Hopefully we'll finally be willing to address the QB in 2012 in what should be a tremendous draft class for that position.

I'm not of the belief that we need a Johnny Baldwin or AJ Green, although I would love to pick one if they were there.

The secondary just needs time.

We need another starting caliber pass rusher alongside Hali, because Studebaker is not the answer and who knows about Sheffield's future at all.

Needs (not in order)

1: QB
2: Secondary Pass Rusher
3: Deep Threat
4: NT
5: C
6: Rotational linebackers

Offensive needs in order of importance IMO:

1) QB
2) #1 receiver
3) Center
4) RT

Overall need in order of importance IMO:

1) QB This team isnt gonna go anywhere until this is fixed and I would almost go full Mike Ditka and trade the whole draft to move up to get Luck if he declares.

2) NT The most important position in the 3-4 defense and if this defense is gonna take the next step, it needs to be bale to stop the run without blitzing much and if we are gonna do that, Ron Edwards is a depth player.

3) #1 WR with consistent hands and enough speed to keep corners on their heels and make the deep comebacks, curls and slants deadly. I think Baldwin would be a great fit.

4) LOLB I still think Studebaker is gonna be a good player or else this would be a lot higher on this list because I think that a good player there would really elevate this defenses effectiveness. If we had a guy like Woodley at LOLB, this defense could be a top 8 unit IMO.

5) Center Preferably a player with the fire and mental strength of Weigman, but with a bigger frame.

6) Linebacker depth The starters are solid on this squad IMO (except for brokedick) and as I have mentioned over and over, Studebaker can be a player...but past the best 4 linebackers on this team, we are really lacking. We need depth at all four linebacker spots.

7)Running back Some of you may think I am crazy by listing this here over right tackle or a couple other needs, but Thomas Jones isnt gonna play forever and Charles inst a guy that can handle a huge load for the long term and even though I like Battle, I dont think he is a long term guy either. We could use a young Thomas Jones type back.

8) Right tackle Barry is doing alright, but he got pulled for Ryan Ocal in the last game and IMO neither are a long term answer for a superbowl quality team. This is an area that I wouldnt be totally opposed to using a second or third rounder on.
