They each have their own positives and negatives but in terms of depth of top talent I think DT is the most talented group in this years draft. To take one at 11 would be a waste especially anyone besides Williams because that next group could be had at 15-32 pretty easily so a trade back would be the move. I actually think some CB's will rise pushing one of that group to our 2nd round pick, which in the 2nd take a crack but not in the 1st.
I agree with DT being the deepest position here. I know we're not usually a trade back team that often ( though last year's seemed a bit of a fluke considering we picked up Glenn and it wasn't just picks. ), but I feel like this would be a prime year for it. I would love Devin White, but if we ultimately settle on someone like Mack Wilson later on in the second round as well as extra assets, I'd be just fine with it. \
I think LB is our biggest need. Our linebackers were basically Swiss cheese in coverage and allowed above an 80 percent completion percentage when they were targeted. The old school thumper types are kind of a relic at this point, and I know that people will say "you only really play two linebackers these days", which is true. The problem is that we don't really have two adequate players to throw out there right now unless you're buying into Vigil.
