    A proven #2 WR and TE would be nice then they can just address both lines and safety in the draft.

    Ready for AJ and OD too come home

    He's like the opposite of (young, healthy) Schaub. All heart, no talent.

    Having OD come back with Brock now here makes some sense especially considering need.

    Vernon Davis seems a lot closer to Brock. They post I love you messages to each other on Twitter.

    he has seemed to have physical tools left and has lacked mental capacity lately. Not sure if good fit for BOB, but maybe a flyer. Certainly more worth it than bringing OD back

    I can't shake the feeling that the OL will need a lot of work still, and all the excitement for Brock/Miller won't matter because the line won't hold up.

    Andre, definitely

    OD was his usual self last season. Still has reliable hands, runs good routes. Could definitely do worse than having him and a cheap contract if they can't find anyone else.

    Need XSF to really step up to that #33 overall selection. I think we'll be fine. BOB has been able to make quality players out of no names, like Lamm. But yeah, it may be moot if Duane can't return to form.

    I'm inclined to agree but I don't think there is a natural fit out there in free agency to bring in.

    I'd be fine to sign another guard because I have no faith in xsf but I don't think the team is going to do that.

    Maybe Conklin in the draft. If they could do that while trading back 10 spots and picking up another pick that'd be nice.

    A Duane Brown that isn't typical Duane Brown would be disastrous.

    with us filling some holes via free agency, I expect us to use some draft picks to bolster the OL. There's a lot of mid round value on the line, and I wouldn't be surprised if we took one of the Big 10 lineman in the first

    This is a deep DL draft so a lot of first round DLs will be in the later rounds. I say we focus on OL first and then later, maybe WR and RB and whatever else we need

    It will be pretty disappointing, even though it means I was right about him, if the team uses a high draft pick to get a receiver to two the number two job instead of strong.
