Who is your surprise pick in the 2012 Draft?

1) Loosely interpreting Jerry Jones' interview a few weeks ago when he was saying the 49ers inside duo of linebackers (Bowman & Willis) were the prototype of what they are trying to do in Dallas. More to the point, Jerry said one of the differences is that they don't necessarily have the "thumper" at one of the spots as the 49ers do. That "thumper" could come in the form of 6'4" 260 lb Dont'a Hightower.

2) Taking point #1 into consideration, I could see Dallas giving Bruce Carter a sort of Kevin Burnett'esque hybrid nickel/dime'backer/spy/do-it-all kind of linebacker. While Lee and Hightower could be the starters.

[View Full Quote]3) Just from a sheer talent and depth standpoint, this team needs freshmeat at the position. Keith Brooking and Bradie James' future with the team are in doubt. Orie Lemon doesn't necessarily excite me and wouldn't preclude me from adding someone in the draft.

You make 3 very convincing points and I'm a noted fan of Hightower so I would have no problems at all with that pick.

Actually, close to Realticks prediction I could see us trading up for Vontaze Burfict if he is still around early in the 2nd round.


He has some issues, but, he is a talented football player.

That would top everything I have seen posted.

picking Janoris Jenkins over decastro at 14. which i dont mind both fill major needs and imo cb is more important and harder to fill. plus jenkins' TALENT is a steal at 14.

TE Hayden Smith, 6'6 265

Ex-rugby player who has already worked out for the Jets & Saints.

Wouldn't surprise me if we draft a receiver although it would infuriate me.

Passing on DeCosta and Glenn and taking Amini Silatolu in the 3rd.

yeah but that changes if Robinson get way overpayed by someone and leaves.

Then wr should be looked at between 3-5 rounds imo harris is not the answer.

I'd even take a flyer on

Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 217.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54

possibles

Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State
Height: 5-9. Weight: 216.
Projected 40 Time: 4.62.
Projected Round (2012): 4-6.


In 2011, Turbin averaged 6.1 yards per carry with 1,517 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. He caught 17 passes for 171 yards and four scores as well. In 2009, Turbin broke out with 1,296 yards and 13 touchdowns. He missed the 2010 season because of an injury. Turbin is put together well and is an elusive runner.

I just don't think he'll last til the 3rd round. If the rumors about us considering Dalton in the 2nd last year were accurate, I wouldn't be shocked if we made a pick like this.

I think the freakishness of his size is what's getting him a lot of hype right now. How is he, as a prospect, compared to Foles and B.J. Coleman?

Freudian slip? DeCosta must be the love child of Phil Costa and David DeCastro; an immensly talented offensive lineman that's hindered by T-Rex arms.

Poor kid.

Big fan of Greg Childs and Turbin. Actually, all of the players you mentioned are good names.

Nothing so complicated I'm afraid. Sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar. In this case, just a mistake. I meant DeCastro but thank you for pointing out my error.

Lol, just a joke ABQ. I wasn't psychoanalyzing you.
