Manny Lawson or Marcus McNeil

Can I have McNeill in the first and Lawson in the second?:

Lawson will not fall that far.
I would love to see McNeill in teh first, and Lutui inthe 2nd. Lutui can play Guard and fill in at tackle if need be. He is a dominant guard and I'd like to see him take over Rivera's spot.

I think there are a handful of good Guards this year that can be had in the early middle rounds. Good time to find an LA replacement for the future, IMO.

1) Marcus McNeil
2) Taitusi Lutui
Taitusi Lutui OG/RT USC
Strengths
This is a kid that knows how to play guard in both the running game and the passing game. He has a wide base, but for his body type, it works well for him. Taitusi understands how to use leverage to his advantage and uses his hands very well when pass blocking. Taitusi doesn't lunge or over-extend when he's blocking; he has excellent balance. He is quick enough out of his stance to handle the quick 1-gap DT’s and strong enough to handle a DT on his nose. He is a pure guard, but played at RT last year and was one of the best before he moved to guard. Taitusi has 1st round talent.
Needs to Improve
Everyone pays so much attention to all the other players on this team that Taitusi is a bit of a sleeper right now. I would think by the time we get to the draft that he will not be.
Bottom Line
Taitusi is a plug-in pick. By that I mean, you draft him and plug him into your line up and forget about that position for about ten years. He has 1st round talent. He has proven that he can play both the RT position and the LG position equally well. Make no mistake about it, this kid has everything you're looking for in a player that can play at the next level. He looks to be an O-lineman that could play two different positions and be a Pro Bowl player at both of them. If this kid is not rated as a 1st or 2nd round pick by the time we get to the draft, I'll burn my jock strap! (Oops, did I say that out loud?!) I mean your jock strap. No! That’s disgusting! Well, you know what I mean. This kid is ready for the next level and should be an excellent O-lineman for the team that drafts him.

If Lutui was there in the 2nd and we took another linebacker with injury concerns, I would be pissed!! I agree, if McNeil and Lutui are there, we should pull the trigger. Some people are saying that McNeil has injury concerns. Does anyone have any info on this? Something about his neck/spine.

All I could find about it.


His weaknesses are glaring to me.

Thats exactly what happened to Ware.

yep, this time last year, Ware was a 3rd/4th round pick

how about that Georgia OG/OT? he could be had in the 2nd

This guys' weight scares me. 375lbs.??? Come on, there's a limit to what the knees can take. I like Jean-Gilles better. He is 6-4, weighs 345, which is plenty enough to handle any DT, and has played both LT & LG. Plus, he has played the last 3 years without missing a game. So, the guy offers flexability and durability. People are talking about Jean-Gilles having a weight problem, and he's 30lbs. lighter than Lutui. Give me Max.

ya and that is why Max is going late first-early second, and definitely wouldn't be available to us.

I'm assuming your not asking this question of me Junk.

Nope, the poster who wants Glover's replacement for the 3-4.
