Connor "holy crap!" Barwin

Our defense has been suspect ever since we came back, we seriously have a chance to upgrade the talent on defense to get the ball rolling for the long term. I wouldn't pick offense in the top part of the draft unless it was a tackle,guard or center.

And he was supposed to be a defensive guru

We can draft Barwin to play LB and if he doesnt work out we could put him back to his natural position TE

absolutely....
furthermore, im even more comfortable to trade edwards......
edwards is a mental with a case of the dropsies, and stallworth barely made the field (and didn't do squat when he did).
so, i see no practical difference between 2 overpaid players that are ineffective and 2 average players that may or may not be effective.
im not so disillusioned to think edwards is a #1......thats laughable.

If you want to take the best player available and draft an impact player with that high draft pick then you take Crabtree. You can get Barwin at #36. And, how much more of an impact would Orakpo be over Barwin. If Barwin is gone there will be simular OLBs available at #36.
My first option would be to trade down, but as we stand now, I would take the best player available if I had to pick at #5. There isn't a defensive player that would be available at #5 that would have the impact of Crabtree.

The only thing I am saying is that I don't think Crabtree will have a huge impact on our offense if we draft him. Instead we can load up on defense that way the new guys will have a full year playing together . Next year when we go offense in the draft we will have a defense to back up the new offensive guys.

According to this board I think we "must" draft about 23 players, all of whom are going to be gone in the top 50.

Maualuga and Barwin are must haves IMO. If we can trade down and pick up an extra pick it would be great.
1st Maualuga
2nd Barwin
2nd Chung or Moore @SS

Not at 5....now if there is something to all the Jets/Cutler talk, and we ended up with the Jets pick at #17 and whatever else for Quinn...then Harvin starts to make real sense.

I understand your point here was to say that Harvin isn't a #5 pick, but how does drafting a kid who made his career off of turning 5yd screens & sweeps into big plays (with the occasional post & corner route) fit with keeping a QB that can't make those throws?
He's Wes Welker, but probably faster.

I have been wanting this guy. I would take him over Clay. Getting him and Maualuga would be great.

Now, I would like to trade down and be able to get some additional picks to upgrade our defense, but if we have to stay at #5 I want an impact player and Crabtree will be the only one there. There isn't a defensive player worth a #5 except Curry. I am including Orakpo and Raji. Crabtree would a a far greater impact then either one.
I'm not saying we don't need to upgrade our defense, but there is good value picks for our defense in the second round.

Am I the only one who's a little bit concerned that Harvin's still struggling with an ankle injury he suffered in November? Or that every scouting report talks about how he's a jerk to teammates and doesn't respond well to hard coaching?
Harvin's incredibly talented, but he's not at all a Mangini type.

I'd be hoping he grew out of that.

Looking at the report, I think the ankle question is moot. He was running pretty well from what I could see.
As to the other stuff....I haven't heard of that problem, and I follow it pretty closely.
I don't have the direct contacts in to the program, but I do have some friends who do.
I am not going to say Percy is some perfect guy, but he isn't a distraction.
