Throwing down the gauntlet, at #25 I want one of these three guys

[frash.exe]

There was a lot of division on KB. Hell, I was divided on him myself. He was my original draft crush. After the championship game, I wanted that guy bad. I let analyst opinions and media hype sway me. By the time the draft came along, I wanted Jordan Matthews. And to be fair, Matthews had a very promising rookie season with Philly.

I vowed not to let analyst and media opinions sway me this year, hence those three guys. To be honest, my original draft crush this year was Devin Smith. We could really use a deep threat and IMO he's the best pure deep threat in the draft. It's just the more I watched on him, the more I became concerned that is all he is. Maybe he can develop into more, but I wouldn't want him at #25. In the 2nd round? Oh yeah, sign me up for that.

I definitely think we could use a second WR, especially in a league where three WR sets are becoming base packages, and I'm selfishly hoping the draft pans in a way where Gettleman has to take one in the first two rounds because that's the best talent that happens to be there. Having Strong or some kind of guy that has more speed on the other side is going to really help open up this offense explosively and keep the chains moving. Weren't we like bottom five in 40+ yard plays last year or something?

I don't know man, this guy was pretty much a unanimous board favorite:

 

 

The glee I felt getting him and Short after the immense failure of McClain and Forever Useless Atrocity will probably live forever in infamy, particularly after I nearly had a meltdown after seeing all the DTs I wanted go off the board in the '11 draft and then FUA happened.  Spurned by Luck, turning the third round comp pick from Peppers into FUA...gah.

 

One of these years, Fua should be used to beat the Keep Pounding drum at a playoff game.  It'd be the first meaningful, positive moment of his career.

Hoping for Landon Collins, Fisher, or Strong. Would also like Shaq. Hell no to Preston Smith

Gettleman came out and said that Oher is going to be our starter at LT.

thats why we arent drafting fisher to be our day one starter

if gettleman is sold and confident with Oher so am I

GM-speak. What's he supposed to say, "I realize Oher totally sucks but we just have to deal with it for one year?"

on this Draft, Gettleman said: "The tackle group is deep. And what's nice about the tackle group it appears right now that there's depth throughout. Last year you had the top five (Robinson, Matthews, Lewan, Ja'Wuan, Zach Martin?) and then you had the Ohio State guy (Jack Mewhort, who the Colts took right before us in 2nd), there wasn't just that lengthy list of depth"

Gettleman only gave Oher $2,500,000 guaranteed, which is about what his cap hit will be this year ($2,421,875). We obviously plan on cutting him after the 2015 season because his cap hit is $4,500,000 in 2016.

Eww@all of these picks. I might fisher isn't even a Lt. he's a right tackle in the league.

[micnificent28]

Permian,Gurley,peat,Humphries,outside wish of Green-Beckham.

[WOW!!]

As sad as it sounds, I feel like marty hurley right now... To me, in terms of what's likely to be there and where they should actually go, I'm starting to feel like Gurley or Gordon would be the BPA. LOL... I feel dirty even saying it.

But, my #1 priority is WR. I'm just starting to feel like we'll be reaching if we take one there at this point with Strong sliding, and I feel like there is a lot of dark horse hype building up around Agholor. I feel like the same can be said for OT, which is #2 on my priority list. I don't feel like the guys that will be there will be worth the pick.

If they draft mr. Fumble non pass catching Gordon in the 1st I will flip my tv..

[L-TownCat]

Just like last year, no tackles.

I don't like this group and its a down year for OT's anyway.

No reason to reach when there are studs to be had.

GMs are praised for late round gems, but are fired for first round blunders.

[Growl]

I'm more confident in Jake Fisher than any OT who I think will be available but I haven't done as much "scouting" this year so whatever.

Fisher looks like a modern NFL LT. Fast, quick feet, great balance, smart.

I'm more enticed by those traits than the lumbering udders hanging from Peat's thighs.

[LinvilleGorge]

Permian,Gurley,peat,Humphries,outside wish of Green-Beckham.

 

Who is Permian?

OT doesn't seem like it'll be the choice at 25, value and BPA won't match up

[Growl]

I mean look at this guy's butt.

What in the world are we supposed to do with that

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not a huge fan of this OT class as a whole, but there are some intriguing guys who could be there at #25 depending on what you're looking for.  Athletic pass protector type OT?  Fisher.  Big mauler?  Flowers.
