Roster Needs & Priorities

Quinton Dial confuses me. I don't think he's stout enough for the 0 technique or have the necessary pass rush skills for the 3 technique. Would he be better as a rotational player on the D line?

Now that's a good assessment. But the problem is that he's not quite athletic enough to play outside of the 3i technique. Now that don't mean that he cannot learn some things because he does has some serious talent, which he flashed. But he needs some coaching, and he has the perfect D-Line coach to learn from. And keep in mind that they are actually a little high on the Brit, Lawrence Okoye. I know what we've seen of him is mixed, but they're not keeping him in-house for nothing. They see something in him, and I think in 2015 we're gonna see.

I would like us to get a defensive guy in the 1st.. and move up in the early 2nd round and grab DGB

1st: Shelton,Waynes,Flowers, or Thompson
2nd: DGB

I love our draft if it came out in this way.

VERY well done!

Thanks for the work.

I really feel you about the defense. But the need at WR is just too glaring for Baalke to play around with.
