Who do you feel would be a good fit in the middle rounds?I can't see Landry Jones running the WCO, that's not a good fit.
You know for most of his career Landry Jones has been overrated, but now it seems like he's being underrated. I'm not in love with his skills, but got to believe he could be at least a solid backup and an option if he ends up falling to round 3.It's a good point, on the back up role. It's something we definitely need to address. I'm not sure on Jones though but I do see Devlin as being similar to Tannehill, perhaps they go for a different type of QB, if they are looking at the draft address it, though I do think they will probably look at a vet to back up Tannehill.
Matt Moore will have no trouble finding a home, for his sake I hope it's a starting job.
I agree. This is the first year in a long, long time that I haven't paid much attention to the quarterbacks. Miami will have to find a backup, though, unless Devlin is better than I think.i wouldn't touch landry jones...what a bum...matt barkleys still the best qb prospect in the draft...yeah the physical tools aren't overwhelming but he's got the intangibles off the charts and he's got some terrific feet...if i'm the chiefs gm i'm taking matt barkley over geno smith any day all day...
all that said since we have tanny and he's shown well i haven't paid much attention to the qb crop anymore... don't need to...feels great
Slimm do you think Bacarri Rambo's off-field issues could see him slip into the 3rd round or later?
I really don't see us taking a QB in the middle rounds. I see us trying to re-sign Matt Moore (if he'll take backup money) and Pat Devlin (who Philbin really likes). If we can't get Moore re-signed then my guess would be we re-sign Devlin and make him the backup and maybe get someone in the 5th-7th round...a developmental player like a Brad Sorensen if he drops that far or Matt Brown from Illinois State.Who do you feel would be a good fit in the middle rounds?
Keep hearing Lester as someone who could fall quite a bit come draft day. Slim and others what are your thoughts on Lester?
Gillislee has done what he's done this year with 3 serviceable interior linemen and two very sub-par OTs. It baffles me just how poorly some of our 4/5* OL recruits have panned out.I've watched every Florida game this season and after the first few games I would totally agree with you, recently though he's not been as impressive, that might have something to do with the average play of the OL though. In the mid rounds Gills may be a heck of a pick up. The fins probably don't need another RB, even if we don't resign Reggie, but if things change and it becomes a need would love to see us use one of our 3rds on Mike.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...k-doug-martin-among-nfls-best-rookies-of-2012Larry Webster, DL, Bloomsburg (Pa.): The 6-7, 240-pound basketball player switched to the gridiron for his fifth year as a senior and has thrived, collecting 10.5 sacks this season for Bloomsburg. People have already started to talk about Webster, whose father, Larry, played in the NFL, but they'll talk about him even more once word gets out.
http://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2012-08-22/bloomsburgs-webster-shifts-focusWebster, at 6-7, decided to concentrate on basketball in his first four years at Division II’s Bloomsburg, becoming the school’s all-time blocks leader with 175 and earning Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Defensive Player of the Year honors last season.
Despite his success on the court, the native of Hagerstown, Md. missed the action on the football field. With one year of eligibility in another sport remaining, Webster is back on the gridiron after a four-year hiatus.
“There were a couple of times that I saw the football coaches around campus and they would tell me if I ever wanted to come out for football, they would love to have me,” Webster said. “I decided to actually give it a try.”
“We certainly joked about it but I didn’t know how serious his intentions were and if his friends were trying to talk him into it,” Bloomsburg football coach Danny Hale said. “As we researched more and went through winter and spring workouts, he really impressed us. You can’t coach 6-foot-7, and his speed is in the mid-4.5s. That puts you on a lot of charts. If he has any kind of a year, I would think the next level would want to take a look at him.”
Webster played defensive end at Elkton High School – the same position where his father, Larry, Jr., flourished at Maryland. The elder Webster went on to be selected in the third round of the 1992 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, playing 11 seasons with four different teams and winning a Super Bowl championship ring with Baltimore in 2000. The elder Webster, now a high school football coach in Baltimore, has been cautious yet supportive in his son’s pursuit.
