Think of it this way:
If Calvin "Megatron" Johnson was in the draft this year, and he "slipped" to us at #12, would we want to draft him?????
I would seriously consider sending TWO 1st round picks for him. He's young, AWESOME, non-diva, mature, and already past the rookie learning curve. He can hit the ground running.....
I'm shocked no one is questioning who the sources are and why he has access to them.
There have been rumors that Stafford and Calvin Johnson haven't really been on the same page and that his preferred targets are Bryant Johnson and Pettigrew. If true, it could very well be Calvin Johnson that is being discussed.
and i definitely agree with whoever said that avril has been miscast as a 4-3 de in detroit...looks like a better 3-4 olb fit to me...i don't know how explosive he is...
also if i recall i think i remember hearing/reading/seeing how good avril looked in lb drills at the combine whene he came out also...
I really believe Miami is looking to aquire Avril. It just makes the most sense. He'll be 24 going into the 2010 season, so he's young. 6'3, and 260 lbs. So, he meets this regime's height and weight standards for a potential 3-4 LB. Plus, he's been productive in his first two seasons. Posting 5.0 sacks in 2008, and following up with 5.5 sacks in 2009.
