Hobson's not kidding anyone. We're drafting a WR or 2 in 2016. He is right that Lafell is a bridge player, more than Dansby. We don't need a new RB to improve our run game; we need a center. I'd be fine with drafting (as Hammerstripes does in his latest mock) Kelly the center from Alabama at #24 and then Sterling Shepard or Michael Thomas in Round 2. We could still get a decent NT in round 3 or 4, though not the dominant type presence we might want to bolster our pass rush.
But I doubt that Paul Alexander will want them to give up on Bodine. So, we'll probably see a WR in 1 and BPA in 2. Personally, I wouldn't mind if we took WRs in 1 & 2. Grouping Coleman/Doctson/Fuller and Shepard/Thomas with AJ and Eifert would be ridiculously good for our offense.
I know that would mean passing up on alot of talent that would benefit our pass rush and overall defense, but the WR talent beyond the 3rd round this year looks really spotty to me. Day 2 players at DT (Day, Reader, and others) are a little stronger.
One thing we do know, we will stick to our board, which ought to look something like this in terms of our priorities.
Rounds 1-2 WR, DE, DT, OLB, CB
Rounds 3-4 DT, C, ILB, OLB, SS, WR
Rounds 5 & 6 RB, OG, FS
Round 7 ??? BPA

Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.
