what if we traded up in the second? anyone ever thought about that? i mean come on! we need a wide receiver, John Fox knows this, Hurney knows this... they won't let all of those guys off the board before they get a chance to grab one. i just don't see it happening. just like in 2008 when they traded back into the first to grab Otah. they saw a hole that needed to be filled, and they didn't waste any time going after it. i see the same thing happening this year. they had two positions they went after in 2008, RB and RT... this year it's WR and DT... they'll get both before the end of the second round. mark my words.

Benn ran a 4.40 at his pro weighing 218. Who was his QB at Illinois? Exactly if he had played in a gimmick offense like Crabtree and Dez he could very well be the top WR. As it stands i actually don't even think he will be there. This is how i would rank the WR's.

1. Golden Tate

2. Dez Bryant

3. Arrelious Benn

4. Damian Williams

5. Brandon Lefell

6. Carlton Mitchell

7. Mardy Gilyard

8. Andre Roberts

9. Demaryius Thomas

10.Taylor Price

Good list.

We could end up taking 3 wideouts in the draft. I could actually see us getting Gilyard, Mitchell, & Price

now we're on the right track :D

there's no way we get outta this draft without at least 2 WR. i think brandon lafell and gilyard (or jacoby ford)... but that's stretching it, and a serious trade would have to happen to get both those guys.

I think Demaryius Thomas is a great project WR. He's definitely not the WR you draft and expect to start right away and be a game changer, though. He's got game breaking speed/size combination, EXCELLENT hands(almost every ball this guy gets he grabs it with his hands and doesn't trap it, which makes me like him even more.), but lacks route running knowledge because of being in an absolute joke of an offense.

If he shows he can learn routes, he will be a star.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
