I think its a foregone conclusion that the following players at areas of need--A.J. Hawk, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Michael Huff, Jimmy Williams, and Winston Justice--will be gone by pick 16.  That leaves the following with first round talent:

OT

Eric Winston-Miami (Fl)
Marcus McNeill-Auburn
Daryn Colledge-Boise State

OG

Max Jean-Gilles-Georgia
Davin Joseph-Oklahoma

C

Nick Mangold-Ohio State

OLB

Chad Greenway-Iowa
Ernie Sims-Florida State
DeMeco Ryans-Alabama

S

Donte Whitner-Ohio State
Ko Simpson-South Carolina
Jason Allen-Tennessee

CB

Tye Hill-Clemson
Kelly Jennings-Miami (Fl)
Ashton Youboty-Ohio State
Jonathan Joseph-South Carolina
Antonio Cromartie-Florida State
Alan Zemaitis-Penn State
Charles Gordon-Kansas
Richard Marshall-Fresno State

If in fact all of the players I think will be gone are gone, who would you pick?  One of the players at a position of need, or the best available player period?  My choice is Ko Simpson to play FS, as I don't see Travares Tillman as the answer and I think Ko could come in and immediately contribute.  (Can someone tell me how to make a poll?  I don't know how and I want to make one.)

I tend to disagree there.  Ferguson will most definitely be gone at #16, but Williams, Huff, Youboty, and Justice could still be around.  One of them is sure to be there. 

Additionally, some of these guys you listed won't even go on day 1 let alone round 1. 

Like who? The players toward the bottom are projected to go Rounds 1-2-3.

Jennings, Cromartie (and that's painful cuz I'm an FSU fan), and Allen. 

I've seen tons of mocks with those three going in the bottom half of round one, and how do I make a poll?

Only the mods can make polls.  If you want to see a poll added to this thread, PM Philly, Dave, or Brian. 

I honestly don't see Jennings, Allen, or Marshall going and earlier than round 3.  Additionally, Cromartie is coming off knee surgery and is a huge risk. 

     If you're talking about potential first round safties.  Then you should include USC's Darnell Bing and LSU's Laron Landry.

OK, ok thats not the point.  The point is who would you pick?

I think Tye Hill or Youboty

Eric Winston.  I will not change my opinion that this is the guy we need to take.

I want us to grab a corner - I'm hearing mixed reports on Jimmy Williams out of Va Tech.  Some people have him as high as #1 CB and other people have him #5 or #6.

He's not even on JMoney's list.

What's the deal with this kid?

Jimmy Williams is a top-tier CB...he just had a bit of an attitude during the combine. If he is there at #16, I'd be glad to see him in aqua. If E-Winston is there at #16, I'd be happy to see him in aqua. If one of the prospects higher in the order slips to #16 because of positional considerations (W-Justice, B-Bunkley), I'd love to see them in aqua as well. Miami needs more playmakers...period. I'd prefer to see a DB or an OT, because then we'd get a playmaker at a primary need position, but the "playmaker" to me is more important than "fitting the need."

I also think that Jimmy Williams is the guy we take.  I see him slipping to our spot in most mocks.

He is on the list - as someone that will be gone by #16.

OL or DB will make me happy.  Jimmy Williams (doubtful we get a shot), Tye Hill, Winston Justice -- any of those will do.

Cutler if he drops :D

I'd love to see us trade down. Seriously. Think about it. We addressed the QB position, and have signed a new LT.
Someone like Indy may want to try to jump up and grab a RB (if Lendale is still there), and may be willing to offer up a package of picks. Maybe we could pick up a second round pick to replace the one we traded for Daunte.

Philly - what do we need another running back for?

HUH? I said Indy may want to trade up so they can get Lendale. They might be willing to trade up to #16 to get him, and we can trade down and acquire more picks.
