If any of you are home, turn on ESPN and watch Joe Thomas #72 on Wisconsin. Im sure all of you are extremely upset by this season. But at least we can look at the bright side, we can get an unbelievable player such as Thomas or calvin johnson


GO FINS!
 
I watched the Wisconsin game....Joe was blocking people out of the picture.....I would love to see him blocking for Ronnie. Sign him up!!!! :D
 
Sorry to tell you Itsourtime but we need help at every position except RB
 
please say no to joe thomas!

dont get me wrong we need o-line and i am all about drafting oline but if we have a top 5 pick we should NOT spend it on thomas, he is good and all and might turn out to be a good player BUT he has had a major knee injury and thats to high to draft a guy with an injury past. calvin johnson is looking good or trade down and get a stud LB like willis or buster davis, good olinemen can be picked up in the 2nd round like the monster from michigan long #77
 
i agree u can grab someone in the second or sign steinbach i lke CJ or trading down to pik up piks

So what? I don't see him making as big an impact as Manning, Brady, Palmer etc.
I don't believe you should draft an O-lineman with a top 5 pick. That pick should be for an impact player (QB, RB, WR, DE) who can change a game in one play.
 
i understand your point but ,it doesnt matter about a qb-rb -wr if they are getting hit in the back field,or they dont have time to throw.i fig they way we are going now a 3-5 first round pick.trading down a few spots and picking up a 2nd rounder would be cool to.i'm not sure who to get at left tackle in the 1st,but it needs to someone very good.picking up someone average later on is not going to get it done anymore,at least on the o-line.but hel* we need alot of things lol.

If you have a chance to grab an Orlando Pace...you do it! I'm not saying anything about if this dude would be even close, but if the personnel dept sees him as being as good as Pace, he will be ours (if avial). A solid tackle is a staple that this club hasn't seen since #78....and it shows.
 
Where did this misconception come from?

"You can get good O-Line later in the draft."

Well, you can get good skill position players later in the draft too! Anyways I'm not sold on Joe Thomas but I do hope we go O-Line in the first if the right value is there. Also, it's very easy to say "just trade down and get more picks" but very hard to do in practice.

are u kidding me..... oline is the most important thing on the offense.... look without a good oline all those "impact players" arent sh*t..... if you dont have a solid oline to open up hole for impact rbs ( ronnie brown) or an oline to block for the qb long enough for him to throw the ball to those "impact players" (c chambers, wes, randy) then those guys just become another guy on the field....... you want to know how to shut down a top wr....... put pressure on the qb as much as you can and youll see how those impact players dont do sh*t.... ( look at randy moss) and look at (edge) both of them are great players with bad olines and now they suck...... we need an oline and we need one bad......if we could move the ball on offense and our d doesnt have to be on the field 3/4th of the time then i think we would have won atleast 3 more games this year.....if u have a top 4 or 5 pick we have to draft thomas...... or trade down get an extra pick or 2 and still pick up levi brown from penn state
