IMO our needs, biggest first, are: QB, CB, speed WR, safety, interior line (depth), and THEN ILB). So while, I would love to have Te'o, I wouldnt be upset
However I think a lot of people on here are worried that the top QBs in this year's draft wouldnt have been good enough to even go in the top 3 rounds last year. Basically, they (myself included) are worried that Geno Smith, Barkley, et al are NOT going to improve our QB play. If that is the evaluation coming from everyone, then wouldnt we be better off NOT drafting a QB. I wouldnt be surprised if I see us drafting a CB in the top 10 (especially with Manning in Denver back in full form it is clear the AFC west division winner has to get through them).
The more I think of it, I hope there are a bunch of teams that want OLB/DEs. If that is the case, then hopefully we can trade down.
