Kly, I'm hoping they take a CB and a safety early. They then can go after a receiver and defensive line players. Multiple reports on Nix cite some deficiencies; they view him mainly as one who eats up space, but doesn't adapt well to changes in direction, etc. I am surprised that those same reports are high on quite a few defensive backs who may be available in later rounds.
I too would like to see them get better in the secondary with young players, but my guess is that if one of the big 2 ILBs is still on the board, they will go there. I don't think they'll use a first round pick on WR as there are many good ones, who'll be available in subsequent rounds.
The two corners from Mich St. and Okla St. have been placed alone in the top echlon at their position for the draft, but a cb that impressed me last year as someone who can play well at the pro level is Nebraska's Stanley Jean-Baptiste. He's built like a young Mel Blount.
