Some of these guys worry me to be honest. Michael Johnson seems like Aundray Bruce part 2 ... all the physical ability in the world, but the guy just wan't very productive in college. I stay way from those types, because of a high bust potential.
Smith is intriguing, but I kinda wonder if he really has the feel for playing the CB position. I'm undecided on him.
Robinson and Loadholt are OK, I just don't want to overdraft them. I still think Kraig Urbik is the ideal G for our system and he can play RT in a pinch too and would likely be available with our 3rd round choice ... and certainly with our 2b choice.
Heyward-Bey doesn't seem like the answer to me ... I suspect that is a smoke screen. He's going to go in round 1, and I can't see us taking a WR in round 1, and if we do it definitely will not be a raw one like Heyward-Bey.
Barnes and Gradkowski late maybe ... but I think we're pretty settled at TE, so only if he is a value pick.
If a guy didn't produce in college, I'm just not high on his chances to produce at the much higher level of the NFL. Sure, there are some who turn it around, but there are also a lot who just plain flop. Plenty of ultra-talented athletes fail to make it in the NFL ... so why take such a risk on someone who couldn't even make it at a high level in college? IMHO, Johnson definitely fits that bill. Heyward-Bey may blossom, but he doesn't strike me as a great receiver.
I honestly think some of what you see this next month or so is a smokescreen. At the end of the day, I expect us to go LB in round 1.
