With that said, in regard to the poll, we all know that real problem with this team is the OL, right? That is why I specifically omitted it from the poll. We have had thread after thread, in regard to the OL and OL Coach. Our QB and receiving weapons are among the NFL's best, it's a shame that our OL can't muster 2+ seconds of protection, and open holes on a regular basis for the run game to be a factor.
What I'm really trying to say here is, after two bust picks at OT the last time they went big on OL in the draft, do you think that our 1st pick should again go to OL? Or, do you think that we should go with the best LB, DE, or S on the board in the 1st round? You already know that my preference this year is on LB, but sometimes the guy you wanted is already gone. That is why I'm also open to the best DE or S that may be there, and worth the pick.
Definately best LB, DE or O-lineman on the board in the 1st round. I don't find Safety to be as big of a weakness as
others on here. Derron Smith and Josh Shaw are both very talented depth if Shawn does not improve. Iloka has played
poorly this year but we have seen him play very well in the past. Coaching is what needs to improve here.
Coyle has not coached well yet this year IMHO.
If we get an athletic, talented LB next to Burfict it will really improve this team. LB's have been out of position a lot
this year and again this is on coaching but athleticism has also been a problem. Dansby is getting old, Maualuga has
never really been known for his athleticism. Vinny has played well but we need a future.
Don't know what we have yet with Vigil and Flowers. Flowers being our most athletic backer.
