    Well after watching the Sugar Bowl not interested in him if he is there at #15 he struggles with the speed rushers, looks like another Mike Adams.

    Agreed, slow foot speed equals disaster,
    see Adams/Gilbert.

    I didn't like him before that game, the game just confirmed my opinion.

    Let me also add that I think this draft could really be good for us again based on WHO I see projected to be coming off the boards early at this point. LTs will continue to move up boards as we get to the combine. QBs will be up there as well. We need TE and WR on offense, both potential first round targets. We need CB, ILB, OLB, and S on defense.

    One of these positions is going to have a top notch prospect that slips to us. It seems to happen every year, and I expect this to be no different. At this point, on January 2 of last year, Jones was projected to be the #2 overall pick by Walterfootball.com. We got him at 17. No one, and I mean no one, is probably completely off the table for us at this point, but we won't take a QB. Someone is going to slip...and that makes me happy.

    For the most part aside from a couple guys. DeCastro was a similar story. Projected very early, the #1 OG, and he fell to us. So many options picking in the top 15.

    being a bama fan and watching them every week he is better suited to play inside. at best he is a right tackle. he has always been an overrated lt but he can dominate in the run game when he chooses. only problem is he takes plays off and lacks concentration at times. he would make a great guard but will never be a great tackle. we have tackles just like him now. he would not be an upgrade

    yep, another I didn't like ranked that high. erving is still right there with Matthews as far as I'm concerned as the top two. yankey if he comes out would be another guy, I'd take if he's there for us to trade down. I've not ruled martin out yet either from ND. those would be my first rounders if they go O-line.:cool:

    It has happened for us a bunch over the years. It was interesting for me to look at Walterfootball.com's mock from this time last year and then his final mock. Ansah was in the 20s. The #1 overall was 12 at this time. Things are going to change and that will be good for us.
