Draft Talk Vol 1.

Re: Draft Talk Vol 1.

Nate needs to be resigned.
Definitely extend Heath and Harrison now.
Starks is Ben's biggest buddy on the line, if not the team... and quite frankly he played well this year. Resign him but let's not go crazy. Anybody else on this line that are eligible to walk... let them.

I'll post who I'd like drafted in a bit....

Okay, after the "He needed chewed out" thread, you must choose, O Asian Hamlet...To be or not to be? That is the question. You can't have it both ways, going from "Nate needs to be resigned" in your first sentence, then "I'll post who I'd like drafted in a bit" in your last sentence. It has to be either "Nate needs to be resigned" and "I'll post who I'd like to be drafted in a bit" or "Nate needs resigned" and "I'll post who I'd like drafted in a bit." Pick one.

Re: Draft Talk Vol 1.

OK so my thoughts are with the draft we will (hopefully) focus on OL and DL. I haven't done much research but I have found a couple names in this early process. William Betty for UConn, Jarron Gilbert DE San Jose State. Anyone know anything more about these guys?

Re: Draft Talk Vol 1.

Eben Britton and Tyson Jackson are my two top choices at #32. I wouldn't be opposed to Alex Mack (C) if he fell that far.

I've seen Eric Wood show up a few times... He's "solid", smart and experienced... not that strong, though. Practicing against Casey would make the team wonder why they drafted him.

Add Max Unger into the mix at #32. He could play Tackle or Center. he has the positional flexibility that we now seem to value.

If we got Jackson, Mack or Unger at #32 I would not be upset with any of those picks. I'm not sold on Britton. Seems to be one of those out of nowhere guys who just stepped it up for one year.

Dude,

Am I mis-remembering or did you once tell me once that you don't draft a center in round one no matter what. I think it was in response to a mock I did on another board where I took Unger in the first. Am I getting you confused with someone else or have you changed your mind?

If we picked Mack or Unger they would not be playing Center. They would likely be playing Guard for a least a year or two. At #32 we might as well consider that a Round 2 pick anyway. Depending on how the combine goes I think that Phil Loadholdt would be better if we were getting someone to play Guard. The guy is a beast but it appears he is a long way from being able to play LT in the NFL. Move him inside and he would be a monster.

In my mix for #32 I could see the team looking at Mack, Loadholdt, Robinson, Unger or Jackson. Clearly I pick Jackson if all 5 are available.
