Active Roster
I think a glaring need we have is at TE.
we need a big strong physical dude, with good hands.
I don't care if he is a little raw yet at route running, as I don't think he will be running too many hard routes the way it is. Another weapon for beck or (insert qb here) would only help.
A guy I have in mind who I am hoping will fall to us is kellen davis from MSU.
6'6" 240 and change, I like his size. I saw just a few games of him, and it seems to me like he is basically wasted space out there. I have no idea why they wouldn't use this guy a bit more.
But seeing as how the MSU culture last year was definately to run the ball, he got tons of work in on blocking some of the better DE's in the big ten.
I suppose perhaps even some outside blitzes. I think overall he is a good blocker with the size to take on just about anybody. I don't know of his overall speed, but underneath routes when you need 5-8 yards, I think he could be a major weapon.
fred davis I am sure will be gone by than. so I won't even say much about him.
martin rucker is anothe guy I think may fall to the 4th round.
he's the dude from mizzou. close to the same measureables as davis.
plays in the big twelve so he certainly must see some good athletes as well.
I haven't seen much of him, but read that blocking isn't exactly his strong suit.
I have also read that he has dedicated himself a bit more to improving his blocking.
HE did win a ton of awards and may not fall to the third, so we may loose out on him anyway. He would have been decent coming out last year.
I have been reading conflicting reports on this kid, some say right behind fred davis a sure day one pick, some say he falls to day two.
I think there may be more pressing needs on day one, but who knows.
what do you guys think?

Fred Davis thats the man, and HE will be their at 32.
