    We will see. It's possible. I just hope they can keep Proctor's weight down. The last I heard he is 376lbs. He needs to drop to 330lbs, IMO. He is quite the specimen at that 376lbs though; very strong. 17 games in the NFL. How will he hold up in the 4th quarter and/or 2nd half of the season.

    The need to choose the BPA at 21 between WR, DT, OT. I don't want them grabbing Simpson. I don't like any QB being taken above the 5th round. It's a poor QB class.

    I separated the draft rd for a reason...... if you read the rest, I specifically said in the 5th rd on down, I would look at Xavier Nwankpa

    I think that is what most are saying about Proctor and his weight. I don't know how these things get measured exactly, but I read that Proctor has 275lbs of lean muscle and also 26% body fat. I'm guessing they will want him to literally trim the fat quite a bit. But his power and footwork quickness are reportedly already at an elite level. Comes down to how hard does the big man want to work at being his best at the next level.

    he or bud clark would be pretty decent safeties to have. i saw miami is ready to get rid of minkah already. i'm hoping they go get kameron curl and wait to draft one of these two later. :cool:

    I would be okay with the Steelers taking him at #21.

    his only downfall is run blocking. his slowness is the problem in reaching the second level. if it was a problem in college it will be intensified in the pros. are they willing to forego that for his pass protection skills? caleb tiernan kind of falls under that same problem as a LT. pass protect is great, run blocking not as much. can campon help this? in vega's situation, you can't coach speed or lack there of. not saying i wouldn't like either but they have some limitations as well. :cool:

    Xavier in the 5th is pseudo highway robbery imo. The skillset, tools and traits are all there. He just needs to get more consistent.

    replace ramsey and queen with kam curl and quay walker and don't look back. sabastion castro and deshaun elliott can man the strong safety spot and we draft another free safety to keep in the pipeline. :cool:
