Just heard GM Les Snead of the Rams say on NFL network that with his pick currently at 15 he is taking BPA regardless of need. We did that last year taking Dorsett over DT Malcom Brown who went to the Patriots. We have quite a few positions of need so BPA would probably address one of them by default. The only caveat is the overall concensus from Irsay and our GM and coach is that fixing the interior of the OL is a top priority. With no OL additions so far I think that speaks loudly to which position group will be addressed first. Of course that could change with a signing or a trade.

I am very optimistic going forward. They have no choice but to work together. Like I have said before Grigson owes his new contract to Chuck. Chuck wanted him back. Chuck already has put his stamp on the coaching staff and I believe he will have the biggest input on this draft . I believe if there is a difference of opinion on who to pick, Ryan will yield to Chuck, he owes him. Chuck will be given a chance to pick the players he wants and who to play going forward. That's the way it should be. I am very excited about the upcoming year and the return of a healthy Luck.

As time goes on, and the more I read about the various prospects, I am starting to think Whitehair could be the pick assuming Elliot is gone. We just have to get that OL fixed. We wouldn't even have to convert him to guard just play him.
-
Manning is not a major announcement, Luck signing is because it would happen this early, I think we are all hoping it's a trade.
-
My bet is they take Elliot 1st. and surprise everybody.
-
No thank you. The plan is to get younger. I would have rather had the player they signed to replace him, Demario Davis from the Jets. I am now to the point where I am not expecting any more signings unless there is a surprise cut by somebody. I am expecting a draft pick trade , a la Vonte Davis, now.

Finally someone who sees the glass half full instead of empty. Nice post.
-
I hope we pass on this guy. Fixing the OL is our most important need. Especially center. Bill B. just traded his best pass rusher in an attempt to fix his OL. He doesn't want Brady out like Andrew. Even it if costs him a 12.5 sack guy. He has his priorities right.
-
Great job. I'm all in on Kelly. Forget the edge rushers. Fix that OL especially center. Bill B. obviously believes fixing his OL is more important than his best Edge rusher. You're franchise QB doesn't do you any good on the sidelines.
-
Pretty obvious Bill B. views fixing his OL more important than an Edge rusher. You protect your franchise QB at all costs. He doesn't want Brady getting killed like Luck and missing time. You don't win with your franchise QB on the sidelines no matter how many Edge rushers you have. Get that OL fixed above everything else, then attend to the defense. Bill knows that.
-
Assuming you are right with your first 17 picks then ours needs to be OL. Taylor Decker , Ryan Kelly, Cody Whitehair or a sleeper in Joshua Garnett. We love Stanford players. Regardless interior OL is priority No.1
-
This could be a good development. Worse case we are going to need better backups than Lance Louis and whoever. Getting lighter with a new system and OL coach could all work to his favor. Preseason will determine how this plays out. Makes for great competition with the new guys we are going to bring on board.
-
Really, You're afraid of Osweiller, Bortles, and Mariotta and a few overpriced FA's? Not me. We will be a stronger team than last years team without all the overpriced FA's. And we will have better coaches ,a healthy Luck and a stronger OL when all is done. I really like this sensible approach. We will be fine.
-
In Baltimore he was strictly a run stopper and edge setter like Walden. With us I would expect him to be in the rotation with Cole and Mathis. I never said he was a better pass rusher. But I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be better since both of them eventually turned out to be busts. Upshaw is much better than either of those guys no matter which side he lines up on.
-
All four are good viable choices for the reasons mentioned. Demario Davis from the Jets would also be a good choice at ILB. I hope we find an OL in FA. If not it could be OL in rounds 1 & 2 and one needs to be a C. It's our biggest position of need. We need to fix it this year above all else.
-
I'm all in with Zeke in the 1st if there. But, I agree he will be long gone by then. If we don't sign an OL in FA then our 1st will be OL maybe 2nd. too. Two instant starters a C and RG, Irsay made it crystal clear to protect Andrew. They don't want to look at him every day without addressing the line. If they do address the OL in FA or trade then the picture changes. OL is our biggest need and this year we can find long term solutions.
-
Unless we sign an OL in free agency I think you should be expecting using our first rd. pick on one. Maybe the second as well. Irsay wants Luck protected, and rightfully so. Last year's scare is enough for me. Drafting this high we should get a couple of good defensive players in three and four. Now if we sign a OL player or two in FA that changes the picture.
-
Upshaw is a young and solid player. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a better pass rusher than Newsome or Werner.
-
I am expecting Upshaw now that both Newsome and Werner are gone. They also might look at Demarius Davis from the Jets now that Freeman moved on.
-
I am expecting Geathers to be paired with Adams. I think we will probably draft a corner to compete with Smith. I am still expecting Upshaw with Werner and Newsome gone. Possibly? Demario Davis from the Jets now that Freeman is gone.
-
Okay now, all you GM's out there, take a deep breath and count to 10. You're acting like lemmings going off the cliff. One after another. Mass suicide. Have a good nights rest tonight and wake up tomorrow ready to have a great day. I bet tomorrow will be a better day. All is not lost. This is just the start of the new year.
-
He really was not happy here. He did not get the money he wanted and found out his market value. Instead of coming back to us for approximately the same offer he decided to move on. Wish him well. Grigson had the money right. Time to move on.
-
A bit of sour grapes from the TE who wasn't the "chosen" one. Tells me we made the right choice.

I wouldn't get to excited. We are meeting with pretty much all of the top players available.
