Players you don't want, but can't explain why...

Doucet and Chevis Jackson, the LSU prospects. No disrespect to LSU - I just think the whole is greater than the sum of the parts with that team.

I agree that he's good, I just don't think picking him in the first round is the best thing for us to do.

One question: Was it Canty's knee or eye that caused his draft stock to fall? ;) :D

Not wanting Albert likely has more to do with us not needing starting OL players right now. We've got a good line that is mostly in their prime, and a chance to take that next step with two first round picks....an OG isn't exactly going to put us over the top.

Who don't you want in the draft, but you can not explain why you don't want them...a gut feel.

My two are:
Aqib Talib
Felix Jones

I know these guys are good players, but I really can't explain why I don't want them...I don't think either will live up to their potential if taken in the first round.

Those are also the two on the top of my please gawd no list.

I have valid (at least in my mind) reasons not to like players I dislike but I do have a gut feeling about one guy that I can't explain.

Chris Williams from Vandy is a bright kid, has the frame, his footwork's not bad... everything I usually look for but for some reason I just see him being a journeyman NFL player, not what one expects from a mid-first rounder.

Again, I can't say anything bad about him but just have that feeling.

Felix Jones and the hugely overrated Limus Sweed at WR.

Jones might become a serviceable guy -- like Julius Jones.
But he won't be a wow player by a longshot.

If Jerra is smart he will go for a Pac-Man in FA and a CB in the first round, then WR then maybe an RB in the second round. Having Barber makes Jones a huge liability if Felix doesn't dazzle immediately, and I don't think he will.

Let's get over Felix Jones
