What are you going to do when Iupati is gone?

[Eskimo]

Most of the time when we are picking in the late first, unless there is great value on the board, we should always be looking to do one of those trades where we drop down into the second but get a next year's #1 pick off of some team that has fallen in love with a player they must have. I favour this strategy because it is our best chance at getting into the top 10 of a draft and get an impact player that we covet.

We just never have enough ammunition to ever trade up in the draft. This is because Jerry trades for lots of junk players (Holland) and is hardly ever able to acquire picks on players who don't fit our plans. They are just released where someone else picks them up for free.

and I am so tired of that - I hope he switches his thinking this year an goes after Iupati -

we can use next years picks to trade - or a couple of this years

I think Iupati might as well put a Star on his helmet - today

I really don't see Jerry letting this guy go

 

[The Realist]

Well, we know the Boys have shown an early interest in Trent Williams and Jason Fox...

We do?

Didn't see that.

Like Jason Fox a lot.

Don't like the fact that he missed a game with an irregular heartbeat.

Trading away extra picks to secure a guard isnt very smart IMO.

27th, 28th........

Take your pick.

 

[Monster Heel]

Trade down and draft 12 special teamers.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

If that happens I might ban some annoying posters...like monsterheel.:

 

[Phrozen Phil]

If Iupati's gone, I will simply pine for the fjords. Really guys, there are lots of good players available. We hear about all the other team's picks all year and the shouldawouldacoulda crowd will remind us of who Jerry did not pick.

Impressive. He can pull and he got the next level on that last play.

 

[DFWJC]

Before we pick?

Anthony Davis gone...........

Who's your fall back guy?

BPA............

 

[dallasfaniac]

One concern I do have that might not be conveyed in this highlight is that he often just hits the first defender and then looks for another. Now this is a good trait to have if you finish the block first. However, I've watched too many times that he'd hit his guy and look for another to block and it is the first guy that makes the tackle. There have been some runs that could have gone 5+ yards but because he was looking to block the second level so fast, it ended up being a short gain or loss. This is coachable, especially for someone that is so new to the sport.

on to the next one?

If this is true, it is a very coachable issue.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

take Vladimir Ducasse

 

[The Realist]

BPA............

What if that is Jermaine Gresham?

 

[The Realist]

take Vladimir Ducasse

I love Ducasse.

Went to HS 10 mins from me.

Not a first rounder IMO.

Like him in mid two a lot.

Love him top of 3.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

What if that is Jermaine Gresham?

Oklahoma homers don't count.:

On a serious note BPA and need can work together.

Don't need a TE in the first so you take the BPA sitting there, if it happens to be that TE then you look for another player you have rated about the same, if you can not, you try and trade down.

 

[DFWJC]

What if that is Jermaine Gresham?

Good question. Trade down....unless we have a need player rated almost exactly the same as Gresham. Whatever we do, never reach far and waste value.
