Who's your surprise "faller" this year?

It seems like every year there's a guy that everyone can't believe falls down the board. A few previous examples that I can remember...

Last seasons Prince Amukamara was seen as a 8-12 range guy, who dropped down to 19. Da'Quan Bowers fell to the middle of round 2 after initial mocks had him top 5 (although because of injury). Brandon Harris was thought to possible be our first pick at 31, and he went 60th.

Taylor Mays falling into the middle of round 2 in 2010. Brandon Spikes towards the end of round 2.

In 2009 I though Michael Oher would go top 15 and fell to 23. The same year I though James Laurunitis and Rey Mauluga would go in the first round, and thought Rey would be in the middle of round 1, both fell into round 2.

In 08 I was jumping around my living room because everyone said Rashard Mendenhall would go around the 10th pick and we took him at 23.



So who's it going to be this year? And will it be someone that we're interested in?

 

burfict in rd 2

 

I agree that Burflict is going to fall, but I don't think its going to surprise anyone. Said earlier that the one person that I think may fall out of that top 10 catagory to us is Janathon Martin, especialy if Mike Adams has a good combine.

 

I think Burfict might fall, but before the draft. If he has a bad combine, he could be expected to go in the mid 2nd before draft day starts, and it won't even seem like a fall.

 

I might fall down the steps or something, ya never know!

 

I think Hightower falls into the 2nd, much in the same way Maulaga fell a few years ago.

 

Unless exceptional, IMO mostly ILB, S and RB's Fall- I think they figure why pick one early when there are so many that are very close in size and workout about the same. Just like the big bodies on both lines- when they are exceptional at the combine or their work outs they can shoot way up. Everyone will always need a big guy who can move.

 

Remember Dontay Moch OLB last year from Nevada? Last year ran like a 4.4- 4.5 at combine. I watched him play a bunch but Maylock started loving him after his workout and everyone on another Steelers site was shining the guy, talking top 15 pick.

I thought he was small. I watched a bunch of Nevada football the last 3 years but thought Johnson coming out this year was better than Moch last year, Johnson seemed to always make plays.... Moch was just a good player. Think Cinci drafted him but he got hurt or something...

 

johnson is a good looking LB.

 

i've thought that too elvis. i wouldn't mind his counterpart at iowa for the other side either. zus. i think they are both good tackles. but colbert doesn't like good linemen. LOL

 

I've been all over the place with ILB (Hightower), NT (Poe), or G (Glenn) in round 1. But Reiff is someone along with DeCastro who I wouldn't mind seeing us trade up for if he starts to fall.

 

in the first adams can fall (i would pick him )
in general burfict should fall to the 4rd

 

Omg that's terrifying.

 

i've seen alot of sites reshuffling their top picks after the combine and i expect some more reshuffling to go on after the pro days. it always happens. teams don't value some guys as highly as the draft guru's alot of the time. people get all gugu with what these boards put out there early. they are now comparing reiff with several other tackles that went high but have not made it work out very well in the league, because of the short arms. baker, gallery to name a couple. this may be the reason decastro isn't a top tackle prospect coming into the league.

 

OMG, THATS FREAKY
