I like his coverage of the draft and based on the last 2-3 years he does a good job. Your thoughts - I don't like the Pit**** pick by the way, beacuse he doesn't fill the biggest need in the DL - Space eating, pocket pushing NT - just don't see many Planet Thoery guys available when we draft (Branch will be gone). I would much prefer an OT in the 1st round if available (Thomas - gone by our pick; Baker - I like him; Long- I love him given were we may be picking, but does he come out; Gaither - I like the measureables, but haven't seen enough on film to be in love with picking him...I am warming though, those in the know seem to rave about him, again does he come out?).
 
I like us picking DT in the draft. However we should be praying that Alan Branch falls to us. I mean we are looking for a NT type guy to play in that 3-4. Pit**** is just too small for that. Branch is 6'6" 325. Maybe Cleveland will take Pit**** instead. haha
 
Wow, that Adrian Peterson to the Texans pick is good, that will make them forget about Bush pretty quick. I see Adrian transferring over to the NFL much better than Bush, he tends to pick up a lot more of the tough yards, but still has the flashy moves too. The only concern is his durability, but if he stays healthy he's a better pick than Bush IMO. It's be funny if he's there when they pick and they pass him up for an overrated DE to play opposite Mario Williams :lol:
 
Also, I notice a LOT of Dolphins' fans calling for a WR. Just going by THIS mock and assuming it is what will happen (I know it will greatly change, but I'm talking hypothetical here), how many of you would want Saban to trade up one spot and grab Ted Ginn Jr over the DT it has us taking? Remember, this is assuming the draft goes EXACTLY like that mock, so no saying "well I think he'd slip anyway so we wouldn't have trade" or anything like that.

Also, no Troy Smith in round 1, but JaMarcus Russell is going 7th to Tampa Bay?!? Now, I personally think Troy Smith is overrated, but he is a good player and, while I admittedly haven't folloed LSU much this year, Smith seems to have done a lot more than Russell this season (and last if I remember correctly), plus Smith is a lock for the Heisman (:fire:) and Russell was never even in the running, so how is Russell going 7th and Smith isn't even listed :confused:
 
Ginn is one of my top over rated players, the guy is fast but doesnt do anything else (other than return kicks) all that well.

I love Troy Smith, his height could be a problem but he has everything else. I have no clue why ANYONE would take Russell that high

I'm no Ginn fan either, I too think he's overrated, and I definately don't want a WR in round 1, but I was just asking the members who are pulling for WR in round 1 what they'd think.

Also, I hate Troy Smith (he beat my Longhorns and I hate OSU almost as much as USC), but I just don't get why Russell is listed at 7 and Smith isn't even IN round 1? I'm not saying Smith is a great player, or even SHOULD be in round 1, but judging by how much people are raving over him, calling him the "next Vince Young" and all that, I would expect him to be there, and close to the top. Hell, Vince went what, 3rd or 4th last year (can't remember which number the Titans had) and people this year are calling Troy BETTER than Vince (I don't think so, but I might be a tad bit bias since Vince was a Longhorn, lol), so it's odd to me that he's not even there

I dont think Troy is better than Vince either, but I dont think this draft is as strong as last years (at least in the top 15 picks) I just have never seen anything to make me think Russel was all that great, last year when he was out they played better....

Then maybe Russel....I might even put Henne before him to. Ive never really seen anyone that high on Russel.
 
we wouldnt look at Puz if he was still available at that time I bet we would?
 
Don't like the pick. If the draft went down like that, I would take Sam Baker, Justin Blalock, Tank Tyler, LaRon Landry, or Patrick Willis over him. We've already got a lot of youth at DE/DT. Roth is a future starter, and you have to think that out of either Vickerson or either of the Wright Bros. one of the three will step it up, with an eye particularly on Rodrique.

thats pretty funny.
 
did u read that Marcus THomas from Florida was dismissed from Florida. Knowing Saban, he likes to take guys who fall far, or who have issues...Marcus Thomas was a solid DT, and if his stock falls all the way to 4th thru 7th...hes gonna be a steal, hes a 1st/2nd round talent, so i hope Saban keeps an eye on him.
 
If the dolphins are 5-6 and the steelers are 4-7 why do they have us picking before the steelers? Did I miss a swap of picks?
