So, Any Tweeners Rated in the First Round?

[Hostile]

I sure hope you're right.

About LB stepping up or OL/WR being the round 1 focus?

Both really. I'd love to see us get a top flight WR. I don't see Glenn around much longer. TO is a toss up. Austin, Hurd, and Crayton all have the potential to be very solid #2/3 receivers. I want a first round potential pro-bowl receiver.

I think we're definitely going BPA.

I must say, its a pretty good feeling if we can all agree on drafting BPA. Obviously it means we arent in dire need of any position. Shows we have all around strength and depth at virturally every position.

I'd love to see us get a FS or CB stud, but I think Offense is the focus. I think we can survive with this offense but the defense has to be fixed. JMO.

Laron Landry, FS from LSU is my main hope.

I'm throwing a party if we get Landry. Seriously, how sexy would that be...

Williams and Landry = fixed secondary

Anyone have some film or highlights for Landry. His name is getting thrown around a lot but I dont get to watch him on Saturdays. I am still a Watkins guy for now until he proves he is consistently bad.

I'm thinking offense also in round 1...

Or a trade down.

No way can I see another OLB/Tweener in round 1.

No way... not after drafting Carpenter.

AND we're much thinner at NT than we are at OLB.

Isn't he rated as a top 10 pick? I know he was last year, but decided not to come out. As for CB, I can definitely see that. Henry hasn't exactly performed to expectations this year. It may just be nitpicking but it seems he is constantly getting beat both by speed and by simple route-running. Unless there's some other glaring hole that shows up between now and April (assuming Carp/Burnett step up), it does look like it will be BPA.

I would be willing to bet that Watkins is the long term answer.


Scratch FS off of the list for our 1st round draft pick come next April.

 

[IndianaCowboyFan]

I don't know if he would be classified as a "tweener" but I like Anthony Spencer DE from Purdue.

I really don't see NT in the first round. Those guys are a dime a dozen in day 2. We drafted Carpenter as a LOLB and he may turn out to be one, but color me skeptical.

 

[CATCH17]

Any of you guys seen Jarvis Moss from Florida? Hes a tweener and looks pretty darn good.

Also if you want an amazing Free Safety Reggie Nelson from Florida is your guy.

Personally I think hes better than Landry or anyone else.

I hope you are right. I was all for keeping Watkins in this year. Benching him seemed pretty pre-mature IMO, espically since he is back out there already. What could he learn in the 2 or 3 weeks? He had a lot of time to sit there and think about how he messed up... I'd rather call him out, play him, and let him prove himself w. a chip on his shoulder.

I know you can do it 2 5.

Branch from UM could be a guy teams go after in the 1st. Satruday might get him a lot more attention depending on his performance against OSU.

You aren't kidding. If the front 7 could get pressure those guys and Newman could handle business. I think faith would be restored in AH as well.

This is his High School Highlights, but you will see why. He has gotten better every year since this stuff.

I'd take Reggie Nelson from Florida over Landry.

Nelson is a freak.

He'll drop once Juniors declare. Last I saw he was 9. Peterson and Calvin Johnson for example.

Safeties always drop.

Man this tape must be dusty. lol I will check him out.

I covered Dwayne Jarret in HS and I wasnt too good so I dont know how much this tape will show ; )

Why on earth does that team get down into a 3 point stance on kickoffs?

Edit: Wow, there's some crazy plays in that clip. Gotta love high school football.
