Barring any further signings on the O I predict we do what is needed  including moving up to secure TE Hockensen. I would be very happy with that.

As I stated before, drafting White, Williams, or Hockensen would make me happy. While I REALLY want White, if he was gone, I would not be upset if the choice were Hockensen.

Ah, Ok. It was not a typo then.

I say the knock on effect is that DT is now a Day 2 need, WR tops my list of needs now, but I think we still have some twists and turns ahead of us before the draft.

Given that I put  Sir Laurence Olivier at DE, and Richardson at DT...(along with Obi/McGarrett/Ogbah etc.)....and give that we let go of Collins, I still see that OLB position as our 1st priority need.  After that I put the WR/DB/OL   as about equal needs.

Beat me to it Gipper. About exactly as I see it...  Shobert needs some help. But if we sign Tyrell Williams (rumored it's between us and the Colts) That jumps DB ahead of WR...  

"WR Tyrell Williams – It was another impressive season for the former undrafted free agent as Williams finished with 41 catches for 653 yards and five touchdowns. He led the team with an impressive 15.9 yards per catch, earning rave reviews from Telesco for taking his game to another level."

We will take care of needs in free agency.  The draft is where we add the icing.

Greedy Williams 

ward / Williams ( Dixon / minnifeild )

80’s flash back, ? 

Bermeck ( no moving down, screw that... DB or OL)

There would be nothing wrong with that......though I still think LB is priority.

Something that is caused by a previous occurrence ..... for example ............... the price of hops have gone up which will cause a knock on effect making beer more expensive ...... so we sign Richardson and will it have a knock on effect in the draft meaning we no longer need a defensive lineman

I've had a knocked up effect on my wife a couple of times, but never a knocked on one. ?

So, interpret it.  What does "knock on effect" mean?

Honestly, if for some odd reason either Devin (Bush or White) slip a bit into the 12ish range I wouldn't be opposed at all to using some draft capital to move up. Adding a potential playmaker like that to this defense would seriously make it potentially dominant.

Not nearly as concerned about CB need to be honest. I think a lot of folks are forgetting how strong Mitchell was playing before his injury, and Randall/Ward/Peppers (likely) are locked in starters. I'm not super down on carrie and gaines as the back-ups either, to me that's an above average unit.
