Question: If you were GM, what would you most likely pick with our No. 1 pick in this upcoming draft?
-- Harold Jennings, Antioch

Answer: That's a great question, considering all the holes on defense. After watching Julius Peppers the other night, I'd have to go with a pass-rushing defensive end. A great pass rush will disguise all sorts of other deficiencies on your defense. After that, I'd go with a stud safety or a space-eating nose tackle.
