Dark Horse 2nd Rounder?

Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson...

A TE you say? Think about it. Hurney's best picks in the 2nd round are when he goes BPA rather than for need. Assuming we go OLB in the 1st round we'll likely be picking in the top 8-10 picks of the 2nd round without a clear cut 'must pick a ____' direction in the 2nd and Dwayne Allen could very well be there for us.

Normally I wouldn't even consider this, but it makes sense when you think about it. First off, he's the best TE in the draft by far, fits the offense well, even blocks well. Chud has designed an offense that uses essentially two starting TE's and we'll only have one after this season.

Shockey is a FA and old as well. Barnidge is actually a FA as well next offseason, which I haven't heard brought up much, but he is. This leaves us with only Olsen & Hartstock. We're going to have to find that long-term replacement for Shockey for the #2 TE role and if Allen is sitting there he could be awfully tough to pass up, even if we do have much bigger needs.

I completely agree. If we are somehow able to trade down and pick up someone at a good value in the first round at a position of need as well as pick up another pick(s) then I would like that. Even as a Gamecock and how much I hate Clemson, I have always respected Allen's game. He and Watkins are the only two that I would like on our team (and Watkins is only a freshman).

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
