As a UM alumni, and a Dolfan, there is nothing I hate as much as seeing Canes players going to our division rivals.
I am always thilled to see Canes coming to Miami. I was super hyped about Vernon Carey. Also, seeing Brock Berlin playing in the Dolphins uniform. In the same way, I was truly pi$$d to see Johnathan Vilma going to the dirty Jets.
Checking out the NFLDraftCountdown.com mock draft, they project the Pats to take Brandon Meriweather and the Jets taking Greg Olsen. I know it is only a mock draft, but nothing would make me unhappier than that.
Is there a chance we can land any of Canes. We are picking too early to get Beason, Meriweather or Olsen. Who else can we get in the second round?
 
i think sadly that its theres a drop off in talent between those three and the rest of the U's class

I agree. Where do you see players like Ryan Moore, Baraka Atkins, Tyrone Moss, Kareem Brown, Anthony Wollschlager or Alex Pou going. I thin that besides Atkins none of them are consider as a possible pick in the first three rounds.
 
We should want the BPA for the desired positions regardless of what College they went to. If you select a player from U of M and he's not the best - you lose against the better players in live games.
 
meriwether could possibly fall to us in the 2nd and i would have no reservations about taking him considering he can play ether corner or free satety.

Meriweather and Beason have a slight chance to make it to 2a for us. I'd be pretty hyped if we got Meriweather...he's been one of my favorites.

I like Ryan Moore as a 6th or 7th rounder. The guy was a huge recruit, and had a great freshman year. He got into some trouble last summer, which concerns me, but I would take a 7th on him. He was in my acting class last summer along with Moss, and both are good kids. I'm not so sure I want us drafting Tyrone though.

I've seen Atkins as a 3rd rounder. In some of those future mock drafts of last year, he was a first rounder. I think he's a good value pick in the 4th of he's there.
 
Meriweather would be very tempting if he fell to us in the 2nd. In fact, depending on who else is available, I would probably be disappointed if we did not draft him considering our situation at safety.

Baraka Atkins is an interesting 3-4 DE prospect, and I think he would be a great pick in the 4th if there.
 
Im a gator fan, so this cane talk is killing me...

does anyone think that tyrone moss could end up like frank gore???

No. I think he's peaked. He's not fast enough to stretch it to the outside, and he's not going to be big enough to be successful like Bettis. If anything, he's a Natrone Means for a year.

Reggie Nelson, Jarvis Moss, Ray McDonald, Brandon Siler, and Marcus Thomas could all come off the board in the first three rounds.
