Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Not even the Lions can screw up their pick this year.

Hell, I cannot see how anyone in the top 5 could screw up their pick, tbh.

Just wait the Chiefs will.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Absolutely.

I figured as much. Should be fun to see how big of a difference he makes in that defense.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Whats your reasoning for this? We have one of the best young MLBs in the league. We do need an OLB tho, but McClain is not an OLB.

I should've put OLB not ILB. I think he can immediately step in at SLB and be effective and then maybe take over for Mike Peterson on the weak side in following years. I figured if a player of his player of his caliber fell the Falcons might end up drafting him because it could give them more flexibility on defense. I'm still changing things up though so I'll probably end up posting my final mock late wednesday.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Gotcha. Yea we need a replacement for Petterson but I rather have Witherspoon instead. Pettersons problem is hes very slow and can't cover no one. McClain looks like he would have the same problems plus hes just built to be a MLB.

I see a lot of mocks having us take the DE from Michigan. I don't know too much about him but we desperately need a pass rusher to help Abraham. I feel Witherspoon is a sure fire stud but if we do go DE in the 1st round I just hope they are productive.

So it seems that no one thinks that Demaryius Thomas will go before Dez Bryant? I didnt hear anything about 'maryius having the attitude problems nor missing an entire season due to ncaa violations like Dez did. Seems to be a safer pick, IMO, for the Broncos.Is he not as fast as Bryant?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Just by looking at the games I feel Bryant is faster in pads. My understanding is Thomas has inconsistent hands. He reminds me of Colston from the Saints. Colston is a nice big WR, inconsistent hands at times but when hes on he dominates.

i think the reason is injury and the type of offense he was on in college.

imo if thomas wasnt injured and in a real offense he would just as good if not better then as a prospect.

This week has been going by fairly quickly.

Can't wait for the draft. God...please don't let AJ draft a Linebacker or a Defensive Back in the 1st, I'd really appreciate it.

Im down for either Ryan Matthews, Carlos Dunlap, or Dan Williams. (1st round obviously)

Thats about it.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

I officially hate the Browns spot in the draft. Too high for Berry, too low for Thomas.

I'm pretty sure that another team will be drafting at 7. The only question is if the Browns trade up or down.

If I had to choose between them I'd choose Matthews because, SD did do pretty well without premiere DT although they are harder to find than productive RB's so I'd probably grab one If I could in the 1st just because, of that fact alone. A improved running game would help tremendously especially with a fairly easy schedule. I think It would be almost impossible to have another slow start this season but, you never know.

I'd hope for Matthews in the 1st and Cody in the 2nd. I know he's got the weight thing but, he had to of produced pretty well to be a starter in Alabama. You look at Shawn Rodgers or Vince Wilfork and they don't have they best bodies in the world but, they get it done.

A lot of whats coming from the Texans is that they really like Mathews and that if he's there he'd be taken.

I really hope not, because I think there are just a lot of really good HBs that will be there in the 2nd. I really like Tate and Hardesty personally...but if Earl Thomas is off the board along with Kyle Wilson, I think Mathews will be the guy.

Texans also could use Center/Guard if Pouncey or Iupati is there i'd love that pick...but a lot of the media here thinks Mathews is high on the list and will not fall to SD...but one thing the media is usually wrong (Mario Williams, Cushing, D.Brown...) so I also have a feeling the Mathews thing is something the Texans love to have out there, because realistically they can go a lot of ways at #20.

Yeah I just see a lot of mock drafts having the Chargers taking Matthews but, I think there is a pretty good chance he may not be there. I wouldn't be surprised even If Matthews made it to 28# and AJ still didn't take him. This draft is deep so teams are probably thinking the same thing about running backs in this draft(get'em in the 2nd or 3rd). I wouldn't be surprised If he was there or not really just because, of the depth of the draft. If not Matthews I think Best(kinda worried about that concussion though) or Dwyer would do well in the NFL.

I'd be happy with a lot of the backs in this draft. Hopefully one will be taken in the 1st or 2nd.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

If we don't take Berry at #5 if he's there...and I think he will be, you're absolutely correct, esp. if it's some dumb pick like Bulaga or Anthony Davis or McClain.
