Haha wow our most needed spots are CB, LB, and SS, and they give us a RT and a RB...good grief...

I'm alright with that plan if and only if

We get 7 new starters on defense via free agency. LOL

Haha yep.

If we pick up Nicks, D’qwell Jackson, Vincent Jackson, LaRon Landry, Tracy Porter, Cortland Finnegan and a couple other guys then that draft makes sense…

Trueblood has had far worse seasons than this past year, and he never got replaced before. David Wilson over Doug Martin? If Doug Martin is on the board and we draft a different RB over him i will flip out, I think he is the best RB in the draft besides TR. I could even see us trading into the top of the first to grab him.
