    I feel like these players are some we need to stay away from. I have seen some mocks that have us taking some of them and i think they have bust written all over them

    Matt barkley qb usc
    landrey jones qb okl
    cordarrelle patterson wr tenn
    justin hunter wr tenn only because of were i think he will be picked 3rd or later take him
    david amerson cb ncst I seen him get abused in the two games i watched ncst this year
    barkevious mingo de olb lsu not sure were he plays
    sheldon richardson olb missouri


    I think there are a few players that would be steals in round 2 or 3

    marqus hunt de smu some people have him falling into 2
    ace sanders wr south carolina
    bacarri rambo s georgia


    late round players

    jj wilcox s georgia southern
    perry jones rb virginia
    tavarres king wr georgia
    jc tretter og cornell
    merelik watson ot fsu
    micheal williams te bama
    philip lutzenkirchen te fb he done pretty much everything for auburn in his four years
    zavier gooden lb missouri

    everyone is a potential bust. if you take to safe a player in round it usually means a limited ceiling and the people call them a bust anyways.

    I disagree. to me a safe player is a solid player. pouncey, heath, and maybe even heyward most recently. these guys were safe picks. i think everyone knew they were gonna be solid players. the players i listed are players i think people will reach for. they all have talent but it doesnt always translate to the field. barkley is a great example of this

    You got that right, even before the hoax thing. He has had so much attention on him already for being from notre dame, to the heisman, and then the BCS. He's been hyped up so much that if he isn't anything but a superstar, he will be considered a bust. Than on top of that he now has this hoax thing, I hope we dont take him if he falls to us. He sounds like he should be a raider haha

    i agree. we need to get a saftey like elam who can cause turnovers. maybe even rambo in round 2. he is a turnover machine.

    I do completely agree with this theory. I think that is why I have 3 positions at the top of my list.

    OLB - Harrison and Woodley right now are not getting it done. Harrison might not be back and we have no idea how much Carter and Robinson can actually do in this defense. Worilds I think can replace Woodley if need be, but I think the coaches might just have to bench Woodley at some point if he ain't cutting it. Pressure from James has always created turnovers for this team. At the moment, we aren't getting that.

    WR - Give me an impact guy for Ben. Someone who will not be denied possession of that football and watch our red zone numbers change.

    S - Troy and Clark are this...the problem has been they are both injured so often that the backups aren't. We need to start looking for 1.

    Athough i am a huge SEC guy i worry about Tyler Wilson qb from Arkansas he didnt have a great year against the SEC defenses so ithink he would struggle mightily against NFL defenses

    I give wilson a pass this year. he had a bad situation with coaching staff and he doesnt have alot of talent around him. I dont think he is a franchise qb by no means by could be a decent backup in later rounds if he is there
