Bortles isn't going 1st overall. Just don't see that happening.

Who they picked for us may not be sexy but it has bite.

Tua time!
well at least they worked to fix the major problem with the top 2 picks...and scheme fit guys to boot...not sure i fall in line with the bitonio is a offensive guard pro but i guess there's fallback there should he not make it at tackle...needs to get stronger if kicked inside though
I'd rather have Brandon Thomas or Kyle Van Noy over Bitonio. Come back in the 3rd rd and take Weston Richburg, maybe James Gayle in the 4th rd. I watched some more film of Santreal Henderson and I wouldn't mind picking him up if he isn't a total head case, he's a talented player. Still have Trai Turner in mind for middle rounds and taking a chance on Matt Patchan late.
He's only a partial head case. Still want him?
Maybe. Greg Hardy was a bigger head case coming out of Old Miss, look at him now. The bottom line is that Henderson can play ball. Given all that happened last year with the OL maybe he's off Miami's draft board altogether, who knows.

Henderson doesn't always play ball. Sometimes he feels like it, sometimes he doesn't. Doesn't always have the motivation. I'm not talking taking plays off, I'm talking taking games off. I don't think he loves football and we already had a player like that...he started bully-gate.
If our first two rounds go like that, I'll be pretty pissed.
Martin might be the safe and obvious pick, but I think that it's the right one. Bitonio I'm not so crazy about.

This is a statement that always worries me about OL targets coming out of College when I see it time and again. Makes me think of the likes of J. Martin and D. Thomas. I know OL players need to develop, as all players do - but I'd rather have to develop technique than strength when it comes to OL.
That said, I like Bitonio :)
I disagree. To draft an OG that high, he better be dominant. Martin is good, but I don't see a dominate player. He's not a Warmack or Cooper as a prospect, and those guys wouldn't go nearly as high in this draft. You can get a good OG in the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th RD. IMO, you're passing on significantly better talents by drafting Martin at 19. I know the O-line was bad last year, but reaching for needs in the 1st RD is never a good thing.
I don't understand why you have Martin pegged at OG. He's an OT who can play Guard- I see him as either a LT or RT, if we do sign Albert then he can play RT and move to LT if Albert is injured or eventually waived. The fact that he's versatile enough to play OT or OG and play them well is a bonus imo, especially considering the state of uncertainty that our OL is in now. The bottom line is that he's a very good and versatile player and a high character guy on top of that. i'd have no problem with taking him at #19.

yeah i don't think bitonios in that same mold as those others though...definitely needs some technique cleaned up...head is in the play a lot...but 22 reps on the bench if kicked inside that number stands out to me in a not good way...and i don't think i see the strength right now at least in a phone booth vs power pigs
