Fairley could be great for us don't get me wrong, but I think Green just seems like the most obvious pick for us now at number one...

So using this scenario, I'm thinking we're looking at:

Jerrell Powe (Mississippi)

Jarvis Jenkins (Clemson)

& maybe that Sione Fua (Stanford) for a big DT in the draft.

btw, Jenkins is 6'4 315

There's also some kid named Kendrick Ellis from Hampton who comes in at a unbelievable 6'5 340. Good god

I'm sure a RG would be great in these rounds also, but DT is such a huge hole, we need to fill it sooner than later in the draft

So, beyond the first round, who do you like?

Jurrell Casey

Marvin Austin

Jarvis Jenkins

Jared Crick

Stephen Paea

Tydreke Powell

This class is very deep at DT, you can get a really good one in the third more then likely (Casey, Austin). I would much rather go Peterson or Green in the first then reach for an overrated Fairley at #1.....

I would LOVE to get Marvin Austin. 1st round talent in the 3rd round.

There's actually a lot of those this year. There's a lot of talent at DT, it's extremely deep. Jurrell Casey is another. Just because of the number of DTs in the draft he's a late first early second round talent that will more then likely slide to the fourth....

I think Austin will do very well at the Combine and that will bump him up the draft boards a bit. He's a boom or bust guy, IMO. He has tremendous talent, but that never translated to domination on the college level. He was good, don't get me wrong, but not as good as he should've been. I've heard more than a couple of times that his work ethic was questionable at best during his time in Chapel Hill.

This coming from a UNC fan.

I've always thought that Bruce Carter was the best prospect on that roster, but seeing how Bray picked their secondary apart after Deunta Williams got hurt, I think I may have underestimated that kid. I knew he was good, but that secondary just fell apart when he went down.

Crick has already said he is not coming out. :( For what we need, pass rush from the inside, he would have been perfect.

What round is Kendrick Ellis projected to go in?

With the depth at DT in the draft I believe getting Green with the first pick is a must. I also wouldn't be suprised if we pick up as many DTs as we did Cbs last year.

Do we have an extra 3rd round pick due to loosing Peppers?

here's some Ellis info:

-Transfered from South Carolina (Was supposed to be their starter however failed drug tests during his Freshman year), no signs of issues since...basically a top SEC talent playing in the FCS

-6'5 340 lbs, Jamaican born

-Played 3-4 but scouts say he may be a better fit in a 4-3. Basically can play both. He is actually quite quick for his size & he can absolutely swallow people on the line apparently

"2010 WALTER CAMP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SUBDIVISION ALL-AMERICA TEAM: DL Kendrick Ellis, Hampton, Sr., was a First Team All-MEAC selection for the second straight year this season, after who was second on the team in tackles with 94 total tackles (34 solo, 60 assisted), was also second on the team with 15.0 tackles for loss totaling 37 yards and was second on the team with 2.0 sacks on the season. Ellis recorded a career-high 16 tackles (seven solo, nine assisted) at Howard on Sept. 11 on his way to earning MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, and he also had 15 tackles (two solo, 13 assisted) at North Carolina Central on Oct. 9. - Hampton football"

oh and edit:

Do you blame him for failing drug tests when he first came to college? I mean, he's from Jamaica!

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
