I would like McKelvin at 28 :)

But not Felix at 22. :(

I just don't see Atlanta taking DMac nor do I think the Dolphins take Ryan that high. Also surprised to see Brohm shoot up that high. I like us getting McKelvin but not sold on Jones yet.

I don't see everyone's lovefest with Felix Jones, he's not better than Julius Jones... Could have resigned Julius if that's the case.

He's not a JJ type of back IMO. He's a Bush type player. I really like the kid. I'd take Chris Johnson over him. In fact I'd go ballistic if they left Johnson on the board at 22 or 28. I don't see how he will fall out of the 1st. Unless something has happened lately.

#14 - Selection: Chad Henne, QB.

Reach?


Henne is a complete stud.......just ask Appalachian St., Oregon, and Ohio St.

He doesn't catch the ball as well as Bush, and if he runs between the tackles anything like Bush, I'd just as soon find someone else.

And if we take Chris Johnson in the first round, I will be very upset. Him being taken out of the first isn't "falling", it would actually be reaching.

The only people that have said he's a first round talent as he fans on this board and others, not draft scouts or analysts.

Not true my friend. He is considered the third best RB by scouts. Of course that list changes too much for me. So some beyond this board think he is first round talent. Of course I think 60 players could be first round talent. Only 31 get that bonus this year. It's all relative.

I think Johnson is a better prospect than Jones. Jones is considered first round by enough. He's considered second round by more than a few as well.

We'll have to have this conversation again in three-four years.

Please provide proof of this bold claim.

My point isn't that CJ can't go on to have a great career, there are plenty of 2nd and later round picks that wind up all-pros.

Invasion USA, nice pic!
I like Lone Wolf McQuade better though!

If there isn't an elite player at a position of need sitting there when we pick, someone like a Malcolm Kelly, Cromartie, or Aquib Talib, I imagine we trade at least one of those two picks down because there is going to be a WR, CB, and a RB to suit us in the second easily.
I think Felix Jones can still be had with a trade down a few spots in the first. Although I don't think he'll be much better than JJ was, FJ would provide some kick returning ability also.
I think CB Cason would be there very late first, early second also. And Jamaal Charles may last all the way to our current 2nd round pick.
