If we get Cason and Jones, I don't think we use a 3rd on another CB.

Other than that, it sounds like a plan.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Getting Hillis or Schmitt in the 5th would be nice. I personally would prefer Hillis I think hed fit our offensive style better but either could take on the second FB/3rd RB role well.

Are we cutting Witten, Fasano, and Curtis Hostile?

I waffled on that 3rd round pick. I decided to hedge my bets against a Pacman meltdown. That's why I went CB again.

I considered DE (Kendall Langford), QB (Josh Johnson), ILB (Beau Bell), OLB (Bryan Kehl & Curtis Johnson) and WR (Jordy Nelson).

I leaned hardest on Nelson and QB.

Good shot, Hos. I got a sneaky feeling another pass rusher will be added. Say...Quinton Groves out of Auburn in the second round. After Marcus Monks' pro day showing, he may be a late round pick.

Thank you. I fixed it. I had them on there but edited and I must have accidentally cut them out.

I could easily see us keeping only 2 QBs on the roster next year again, also...

I think Curtis showed more than enough to stick around.

More than Fasano if you ask me.

I'd cut a receiver and keep Curtis.

And I would love that draft!!!!!!!!!! (but I would sub Rice for Charles myself....)

Owen Schmitt (5th round pick)

You seem to love this guy Hostile, what is the attraction? I have never seen him play.

He's an absolute bull who if Barber was running behind him could not be stopped.

Clearly, you haven't seen Julius Jones at NT for Seattle.... They've been working him in with their rotation. They figured since he was such a blocker magnet on offense that it would transcend to defense as well. Point being, he'd shut down Barber/Schmitt.

I said I'd trade Fasano to Miami for their 3rd round pick to start day 2 and keep Curtis.

No one liked the idea.

What school? I was watching a game from the 90s the other day and was amazed again by Mooses line clearing ability. Would be nice to have that again.

West Virginia. There's all kinds of stuff on Youtube. Some of it is interesting.

I like it.

But I doubt you'd get Bill's 3rd rounder for him.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Owen Schmitt (5th round pick)

he's the reincarnation of Jamar Martin

plus he has a mean mohawk

You might. He has no good TE in Miami and he loves them. Sparano is familiar with him too.

He doesn't play anything like Martin.
