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.

    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
