My board got messed up but the Lions need Oline help at either LT or RT. Massie was the best RT prospect left and should be an upgrade over Cherilus. I wanted to go WR but that was wiped and wanted to go Safety but that was wiped, so RT was the clear choice.
I wish that there were more TGG mocks so I could keep drafting Fleming. He's a stud, will excel in man coverage down in Atlanta, and allow them to use the nickle scheme with Grimes that they're dying to run (and save Dunta by going back to man).
Great pick with Jamell Fleming. Hes moving up boards quick. He should be a great #2 corner, especially if he plays like he did his junior year.
Nice picks back to back in BROOKS (Sir) and MARTIN (WW). Both guys that others would be quick to say "BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE 2nd ROUNDERS" even though they very clearly should be/will be come late April. Both guys that I would just love to have on my football team, regardless of schemes.
I was actually considering Brooks, nice pick. I was toying with his potential outside, although not a dealbreaker as Houston needs help inside at different degrees. An opening at RG, and an aging Wade Smith on the leftside. And I'm aware of his size, but that's not gonna make me pigeonhole him as a power scheme only player. Dude moves really well...
While I think Wilson can be a good back I am not sure he is #1 material. If he can fix his fumbling and actually pass block, he'll have high potential.
Thanks (and also to magilla). Brooks was probably the biggest combine snub and had one hell of a pro day. Brooks is gonna be a quality lineman for years, and having a player the caliber of pounced next to him will only help him. Brooks looks like a day 1 starter to me.
The pass blocking thing is more relevant than the fumbling thing, there are number ones who have fumbling problems. Even if he isnt a number one the Packers would be CRAZY to pass on him
I'll be here most of the day tomorrow, please forward your board to me, if there is a chance you may not make your pick.
I like me some Mike Martin. He is a great fit on the inside for the Broncos, and really will be a lunch pail guy that makes it happen for a long time in the middle of the Broncos defense.
I love it when need and Value line up so well. I see Iiloka as a late secound round guy and the Ravens absolutely need saftey depth that can start sooner rather than later. Iiloka will be able to cover big TE's and moves very well for a big guy. Love the potential of him in thier defense.
I might be doing so, although my kid is sick so I may be going home from work early. If not then I'll def PM you. The Bears have 2 picks in the 3rd round correct? Edit: nevermind, they only have one. Somebody on their board must have used some type of trade to give themselves an extra 3rd
I really wanted Iloka for the Patriots, he got snagged just a few picks ahead of mine. Thanks, Harpua. Jerk. So, I went went the next best thing for this team, he could even pan out to be a better fit for the Patriots in Shea McClellin. I think he is such an energetic, high motored passionate force they need on the outside. I think he would be a perfect fit on that defense.
The Vikings pick has been made... I felt with Peterson coming off a major knee injury grabbing a high potential RB in James somewhat fills a need. If Peterson is healthy it also gives them quite a dangerous combination.
