The first 3 picks need to address every level of the defense. One safety, one or two DL's, and one-two "230+" LB's.

Jeff "The All-Seeing Eye" McClane still thinks he's being clever with all this Asante trade bull, I see.

Linebacker!!! Luc!!! Wow, we traded for one maybe good linebacker and all is solved??? Remember how people though the Giants were dumb for drafting D'lineman when they were stocked. Who's laughing now. And I don't like them laughing- trust me on that.

Absolutely! Defense wins championships. C'mon Andy, Howie, Joe. Do the smart thing for once.

There's a reason why the Ravens and Steelers have superior defenses year after year. They have superior LBS and safeties! Mark Barron, Luke Kuechly, or Dont'a Hightower!

I see Andy trading out this pick...which I dont think is a bad move.

How much longer do we have to look at the Eagle-Redskin line score at the top of the page? That game is in the books by now. Eagles won.

Eagle for ile ia right, we won't get an insight before they pick. They have multiple scenarios. the question, do they have value run stopper, or another qaulity linebacker as their best approach. Andy is always doing something no one expects as he tries to out wit everyone - he gets too cute when all he needs to do is take the shortest path between 2 points. At 15 select a large run stopper Dtackle. Don't trade up or down. Save the other picks and get good quality. Lord knows the eagles paid the price for it last season with an 8 and 8 record. Time to cash in on that record.

1 round: Fletcher Cox (DT)
2 round: Brandon Boykin (CB/KR)
2 round: Zach Brown (OLB)
3 round: Brandon Wedeen (QB)
That alone will fill the holes needed for Andy to get a super bowl

My pick for 1st Round is Courtney Upshaw. But wtf do I know. I think LBs are important unlike some people.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Superbowl?????????????????????? Not with Andy or Juan. They will pick a C.B. that will be a stretch who will get hurt next year and be gone after his rokie contract. We have seen this a million times before
