Rumors going around that St Louis may want to trade up. Would be hard to get them to package both first round picks But we should be able to get atleast a 3rd out of it.

FA: Glenn Dorsey- has not lived up to what many expected. Guy is more suited for 4-3 than 3-4 what KC has been running

1st: Johnathon Hankins- Hankins and Dorsey would really help our to DE's

2013 D:

DL: CJ, Hankins, Dorsey, Hardy

LB: Davis, Luke, Beason

DB: Norman, Godfrey, Martin, Gamble

2nd-Tavon Austin: Hope his size makes him drop to us in the early 2nd. LaFell and Gettis are servicable #2 WR and still young. Drafted Adams to return kicks but he hasnt looked as good as most hoped in his limited ammount of action. TA would push Adams in return duties, best case Adams steps up and you could have both back returning kickoffs. Let him sit under Smith, he could play 3rd wr in the slot in certain situations. Once Smith decides hes done playing TA can step right in for him.

3rd- Kyle Long: comes from good football family, good athlete, hasnt played that much in college due to playing minor league baseball so still a little raw. Sit him behind Gross for atleast a year and maybe he can replace in 2014.

4th-Joseph Fauria: 2 TE sets with Shockey looked good Cams rookie year. Fauria is a Big target who would look really good with Olsen. Good TE duo would help take some pressure off Cam.

5th- DJ Swearinger: Not sure if he will still be around for this pick if not, Travis Bond would be a good pick here

6th- Michael Dyer: not a popular pick due to off the field issues. Play behind Dwill and Stewart. If he does alright it would make cutting ties with Dwill. Played with Cam on Auburns BCS champions team.

Not a bad draft.

But what rumor have come out that the Rams are wanting to trade up? What sources? Only sources about the Rams wanting to move up is either from me or other huddlers on here by wishful thinking.

And if we're going to trade with the Rams, I agree with you that no team is going to get both their 1st rounders unless if it's the team with the no.1 pick. But not just a "3rd". Itll be Atleast their 2nd.

I love Hankins as the 1st pick. With injury to Ron, we're going to realize that we need at DT of the future and not a franchise LT.

I seen a lot of recent mocks now having Tavon as a late 1st rounder. Hopefully he's there in the 2nd.

Last, I see Swearinger as a late 3rd to 4th. He's not going to fall out the 4th in no means.

Long will be available way later IF he enters the draft. Heard he's trying to get Oregon to allow him to come back for another season.

I like TA a lot! But I don't want him before some of the other wideouts. We need a true #1 and I don't think Austin is or will be one. We need Allen, Hunter or Patterson. Then we can move Smitty to slot. That should extend his future here.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
