La Canfora has Claiborne falling to us

First we want Coples, switched to Brockers, switched to Poe, now Claiborne. Who's next....Olympia Dukakis?

Agreed.... for where we are picking at there are too many options. If the Rams are serious about trading the #2 pick, then it looks like Luck, RGIII, Kalil, Richardson go 1-4, and after that it gets kinda murkey. Claiborne, Kalil, Reiff, and Blackmon make the most sense for us, but after their respective pro-days, I don't see any of them dropping to #9. That being said, if Claiborne is there at 9, I think we run, not walk to the podium for that selection.

If it's the one he just did on NFLN, I just don't see Seattle trading up above us for Tannehill. But he is more connected than myself... I just don't think that's gonna happen.

If it does, awesome.

Also, I do NOT see Tampa taking Blackmon over Claiborne. They still have two young WRs that are a year removed from awesome seasons. I think they give them another year, plus, they're adding Manningham in FA. Why would they take Blackmon?

Ronde Barber is 208 years old.

We need a CB, so if Claiborne is there, we take him. If Blackmon drops to us, we trade back and pick up Poe in the teens. JMO.

happy with MC here

Coples will be gone

Brockers looks good too, and Poe is blowing peoples minds with that 40

the safe statement is that there seems to be enough talent in this draft to equate to us getting a good player.

So now the hard part comes. When there are several pieces that will work, the puzzle master must find the one true match out of the handful of options. Good luck Marty.

No way Claiborne falls to us. No way. Walterfootball had the same scenario and they both include some head-scratching moves in the first 8 picks that almost certainly won't happen.

Bucs will take Claiborne. They hired his DB's coach from LSU. Claiborne will be the hands-down BPA at 5th overall. And even if by some miracle the Bucs don't take him, the Jaguars would in a second.

I think it depends on how Hurney and Rivera think Hogan is coming along. If Hogan is the starter than Claiborne isn't as critical. If Hogan isn't a lock then Claiborne is definitely at a position of need especially if Tampa takes Blackmon. It also depends on whether Hurney and Rivera think we are okay at DT/DE this year or really want to solidify that position. He could definitely help us more than Poe would in 2012. Down the road, things even up more.

I don't think Claiborne is there though. But if he were, you have to look hard at him. The thing about Poe is that he brings something to the team we just don't have. A kris Jenkins type tackle who has been sorely missed. Plus I think that Rivera believes that a great pass rush is more important than a great secondary.

Glad I don't have to make those choices.

I agree that I think there is NO WAY that Tampa does not take Claiborne.

Will sign Manningham as a FA....takes WR off the list.

Although Richardson is an absolute stud, it has been shwon that quality backs can be found in later rounds and FA.

They desperately need DB.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
