MASSIE wont be there as he will be picked with the 1st choice of the 4th round. problem i have is HE should have been the pick over martin. martin isnt strong and doesnt block well at the second level. how in the world does THAT translate into a good zone scheme player? massie has EXELLENT feet for a man his size and is a better pass blocker than long. he is wicked strong! if the finz were truelly drafting a guy for RT, massie should have been the pic. he is a TRUE rt and has played the spot. martin [in irelands own words] is a project REACH rt. bad, bad drafting if they fully intend to keep him at rt.
NOW, if they are planning on moving him to LT after long leaves after the season, i can see that, even though there were still guys i liked better for future LT's. if MASSIE is there, he would be an awsome addition to the line.
BRANDON BOYKIN: the most under valued, under rated cb in the draft. he had a great senior bowl, plays much bigger than his height and isnt afraid to go up against ANY wr, no matter how big or fast. sean smith is a bust and should be on the bench. if nothing else, boykin can easily play the nickel and be one of the best in the nfl. our problem wasnt scoring on teams it was not being able to stop the big plays and hi scoring of the good teams we faced, expecially the pats. we have done NOTHING so far to address this issue in this draft. boykin is also a KILLER return guy which we dont have. anyone who thinks the return game is moot is an idiot. since when do you not want EVERY chance you can get to have more yards? i think with the rules moving the kick closer and the return guys back farther, you need a big time return specialist even more!!! untill they get rid of the return game all together, it is still just as vital and we dont have one.
GEORGE ILOKA: again, we cant stop TE's and have a rotten over all secondary with NO depth. we dont have a good safety. we have a project or two but no one who can handle the pats double TE's or even the kid from the jets. when teams need to score with the pass, they pretty much do it at will because our secondary [outside vontae] is nothing. we are at the 4th round, isnt it time we adress are BIGGEST need, stopping our chief division rival?
CAM JOHNSON: cant have enough pass rushers and this guy is a 4-3 pass rushing DE. we are a passing leauge and we need to start getting people in here to GET TO the qb. exellent value at this point. plus theres this lil' fact that WE DONT HAVE A PASS RUSHER signed on the roster right now. cam wake could get ugly and i dont really blame him. he holds ALL the cards right now. may end up a one year deal meaning alternatives like johnson and vernon are a must should he leave after the season.he WILL comand big money on the market and he knows it. another losing season and he WILL leave.may anyways depending on how ireland deals with him and his agent.
MARVIN McNUTT or MARQUISE MAZE: it has been said around the media that the finz were in love with mcnutt. if you look at our drafts, ireland and company seem to telegraph every pic. seems like each year teams are saying who ireland is in love with and sure enough, they get drafted [oderick, pouncy, tannehill, etc.... and right after the senior bowl the big rumour was how much they love mcnutt. i think HE WILL BE THE PICK. philbin has told everyone that will listen his offense doesnt need a #1 wr. but, someone is ALWAYS the #1 wr on a team. best wr on a squad equals the teams #1. now, he may not think we need a calvin johnson but we dont have a real good wr on the team. we have a couple decent guys like hartline and bess, but no one to beat the or scare the big time cb's in the leauge and our division. its a need and one we should have addressed earlier. [did i say how unhappy i was with the martin pick?] MARQUISE MAIZE: only thing from him being a low 1st or second rounder is his size, which isnt that bad. he is a super strong kid, gets off the line, backs down from NO ONE, gets open quick and has the savy to work back to the qb when the pass rush is getting close. he also has good YAC. is this not a great looking wco wr? he also plays special teams. value, value, VALUE!! one of the most ujnder rated players in the draft.
BOYKIN is my hope pic.
CAM JOHNSON is my second and wont cry if he's the pic.
MAIZE if these guys are gone.
McNUTT is most likely the pic by ireland.
