I know a lot of you out there believe we'll be grabbing Glenn Dorsey with the #1 overall pick if we cannot trade down. Glenn Dorsey has tremendous talent and draws double teams pretty much every down he's out on the field. This frees up DE's and LB's. However, I believe drafting a DT so high may be a mistake.

What are your thoughts on drafting guys like Andre Fluellen or Geno Hayes from FSU in the later rounds?
 
There is no consensus # 1 guy in college this year, so no matter who we take with the first pick, there will always be some who don't like the guy we take. Trading down makes the most sense, but not if we aren't offered fair compensation. I would be happy with either Chris Long or Dorsey, and I think the Tuna will likely take one of these two.
 
I like Geno Hayes, I could see him in the mid rounds and wouldn't mind taking him. As for Fluellen, he has great size and an NFL body but I'm not sure on his skills.
 
Here's my favorite three prospects at each position that we can target in the 3rd and up

QB Joe Flacco/ Josh Johnson/ Bernard Morris
FB Matt Forte/ Jacob Hester/ Jerome Felton
RB Justin Forsett/ Anthony Aldridge (switch to WR)/Tim Hightower
WR Dexter Jackson/ Lavelle Hawkins/ Donnie Avery/ about 10 other receivers could be mentioned
TE Jacob Tamme/ Kellen Davis/ Adam Bishop
OT Oniel Cousins/ Carl Nicks/ Mike Gibson
OG Kerry Brown/ Pedro Sosa/ Roy Scheuning
C Steve Justice/ Kory Lichtensteiger/ Jamey Richard
DE Jeremy Thompson/ Kendall Langford/ Brian Johnston
DT/NT Marcus Dixon/ Trevor Laws/ Marcus Harrison
OLB Darrell Robertson/ Robert James/ Darren Mastin
ILB/MLB J Leman/ Curtis Lofton/ Taveres Gooden
CB Trae Williams/ Dejuan Tribble/ Chevis Jackson
S Thomas DeCoud/ Curtis Taylor/ Marcellous Johnson
 
I agree with some of those names you mentioned adamprez especially the Taveres Gooden pick (St. Thomas Aquinas High school alum). However, you forgot one big name in your RB list... KEVIN SMITH!! You have to show the guy some love, he got screwed by not even getting named as a top 5 RB in the county. I know he played in the C-USA, but the guy is a solid RB. Just check out his overall stats and take special note of that Texas game where UCF should have won.

My running back scouting isnt that strong this year. I havent paid attention to them because of who we have on our roster. I like Kevin Smith and he probably should be thrown up there instead of some of my guys
 
Geno Hayes is a yapper. I do like Fluellen alot, especially he played this one-armed.

Both guys are 4-3 players, though.
 
Hayes is an idiot and is far too small for our system.
 
Trevor Laws???????

I was doing additional research and my mouth just fell open. If we need this guy too.

Dorsey had 92 TKL's. Laws had 174. You read that right, Laws had 174. The next closest was Dre Moore with 110.

I wish we had more picks. Laws can be had in the high 3rd round.
 
I'm sorry that 174 represent 2 yr totals. Ditto for Dorsey. When I do research I look at 2 yrs of stats.

Ive liked what Ive seen of Laws. I think he has a chance of being good. He's definitely iffy though. Not a sure thing by any means
