Slim Shady. Duh.

That makes sense. I remember reading that he was a Cowboys fan. I think it's great he's going to help out Jerry with the draft!

:laugh2: can't be any worse!

Who is slim? Is he someone assisting Jerry in the draft process? This is the first I've heard of this fellow.

He played in the movie Dr Stranglove, he is currently fighting a condition called death but he may be good to go before the start of the season.

Right tackle with Free moving inside.

And how do we know that Free can play guard? Does he have the bulk or strength to handle some of the DT's in the league? I would say its far from a sure thing that he could move inside with no problems.

He rode the bomb right?

I'm not sure the infatuation with Kirkpatrick. People talk about wanting ball hawks and guys who play the ball in the air and you want to draft this guy? He's too long legged and stiff to stick with guys like Nicks, Cruz, and all the other smaller WR's in our division. Unless we're playing a press man or cover 2 scheme I'm not looking at him. IMO his best attribute is his run support. Janoris Jenkins is a much better corner but he's got too many off the field issues and we've already take too many risks with these knucklehead guys. For me its Jared Crick all day. Complete player who would come in and improve our pass rush and collaspe the pocket. Got 9 sacks as a Jr without Suh there to take the attention away and is very good in the run game. He's going to be a nice 3-4DE for someone.

I have to roll my eyes at some here.

After all the years of whining about not picking the BPA - so many are unwilling to pick the absolute best player at one position. And that will be Decastro.

And it is a position of serious need as well.


No one else that will be available at #14 will be considered the absolute BEST in the league at that position while at the same time being considered one of the BEST at that position that has come around in YEARS.

Luck is that way; no one here would blink at taking him if we had the chance.

But because DeCastro is a guard some turn their noses up at him?

JUST PLAIN STUPID

I approve of these two post.

I think free could do it but will struggle. Free struggles more vs power.

1) Coples
2) Decastro
3) Dre/trade down

Coples is going to dominate at the combine, no way he'll fall to #14.

lots of stories about him making "business decisions" this year. NYET

That's North Carolina's problem

well if one is stupid enough to draft a part time guy you deserve what you get

 

[casmith07]

DeCastro.

We need to continue the trend of building inside out. Success comes from who dominates the line of scrimmage. The Saints offensive line has shown that -- San Francisco's defensive line showed us they were a little better.

....and although it hurts in the worst way to admit: the gspots do the same thing. But again Casmith, we see it, but the man in charge doesn't. It's why Dez was such a BAD pick: he can play, he's talented but he plays a position that's important but not critical to building a team as you put it: "from the inside out."

Right now we have so many holes on the Oline, Dline, LB and CB it's critical we draft well. Hitting on one guy per draft or even two....doesn't cut it when you have this many holes. Same old same old with Jerrah really.
