I keep hearing all these folks asking why we didn't take him at #51 instead of trading out since Max Unger was gone. I've heard they would have taken him at #69 but the Bears took him at #68. Jerry was unwillingly to part with a 4th rounder because he knew he wanted McGee in the 4th.
My question on Gilbert is this: All the magazines and internet sites say what a great athlete he is and how he can be a 3-4 end or DT. If he can play so many position in a 3-4 how come no 3-4 team took him. 3-4 DE are hard to come by.
Denver
KC
Green Bay
New England
Miami
San Diego
Dallas
Pittsburgh
all passed him by 2 sometimes 3 times in the draft before he was picked by a 4-3 team. This tells me something about the guy.
If we stay at #51 we take Loadholt. I would rather have Brewster and D. Smith than Loadholt. No way I take a tackle in the 1st 2 rounds that can't play LT. Loadholt is way to big and slow to play LT, I think he is strictly a RT, I don't think he can play guard either.
