The only way I'm taking a small school guy in a top round is if has the measurments and he absolutely OWNED the competition. Amini was a bad pick at the time and was a bad pick now. 

What was your opinion on the Bradberry pick when it happened?

I should have put small school o-lineman***

I have no problem with other positions being from small schools 

I'm not going to lie I was like wtf with the Bradberry pick. Small schools guys are tricky. Really are boom or bust. We have gotten killed with small school linemen with Amini and Kugbila, but 3rd times a charm?

From what I saw in the Senior Bowl he won't be ready to play this year without getting Cam killed. I'd rather not take a project in the 2nd. Maybe 64, but I just am unsure about him. If this class had some actual top end guys, I think he'd get pushed down to the 4th. There are just too many other positions where we could be getting a CB, S, DE, RB or TE who in another year would be a 1st rounder/early 2nd. If we take this guy at 40, I'm pissed. 64, maybe. Depends on who we get at 8 and 40. I'd rather see if he falls to the 3rd. He's not that good yet and maybe he won't ever be.

Where a player goes in the draft often depends on when the run if any, occurs at their position. The third best center could be available in the 3rd round while you might be done to the 10 rated corner- (recognizing everybody's board is different). But just looking as us and our needs, I also don't see us picking anyone at 8 or 40 who wouldnt be a contributor right away.  I don't think many rookie tackles shine (outside of our own Matt Kalil) and they would only play in case of injury or special teams maybe... I couldn't see that before the 64th. And honestly I want that bundled up with our 40th pick to move pack in the first round to double dip on offense.

this guy fell a lot over the last season.  too much film of him getting used by small school DEs.  Do not want.

 

Because the draft is so deep at LT?  cmon.  you guys been clamoring for carolina to fix the oline for years.  Now they are at least attempting to and they get criticized for it.  Obviously they see something in the kid and they are much better at scouting than anyone on this forum.

Watching this guy getting owned at the senior bowl he did not look like a fix for any postion.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
