He could go to the Ravens. There's a legit shot he doesn't make it to the Jets. He does what he needs to do this combine, he might be a top 15 lock. Ebron's inconsistent with his blocking and hands but I don't know if there are many better athletes in this draft than him. Hope he figures everything out on the NFL level as he has so much talent. With other UNC alum Nicks one step out the door and Myers being a massive fail for the GMen, they need to help Eli(Well Eli can help himself) and if Ebron improves his blocking year 1, he can also help the running game and can help Eli in protection. NYG needs a TE in the worst way, there's a shot the "Big 3" at the position don't even make it to their 2nd round pick. McAdoo their new OC puts more of an emphasis on TE usage.
I dont think he makes it to our pick, sadly. Right now Im hoping his reported weight gain slows down his 40 at the combine. At his playing weight, Im sure he could have ran a freakish 40 that would have solidified him as a top 15 pick. Hopefully a slower 40 will let him slide a little.
Not a fan of these epic rises at the Senior Bowl and all but Aaron Donald despite his size will bring a motor and type of play that sorry Bears DLine really needs in the worst way. They got destroyed by opposing backs for far too long. I am curious if Donald expands upon that Senior Bowl that he did in a few weeks.
Gilbert is the other guy I thought of for Chicago but I don't know if the Steelers want to poke around him. He's a bit of a loose cannon. Really talented though.
Have you checked your PMs when you are online??...I sent reminders of the draft 5 days ago to everyone asking for a reply and you never did.
IIMeanDeanII has dropped out of the draft, family emergency. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THE RAVEN'S PICK ASAP (not within 5 picks)...don't wait till 3 PM I've offered the Ravens & Lions to Matt4776....next on waitlist...waiting on his response.
Took Martin and its not because I am an Irish fan(I promise) They can probably only resign either Monroe(More likely) or Oher so they will need a RT in the worst way....in comes Martin. He can also play some guard if need be so he's the perfect fit for the Ravens as they look to improve a piss poor OLine from 2013. He's a very solid player who also had a solid if not really good senior bowl.
Being the Jet's GM is a tough position. I really don't want to reach for a player of a big need, it's not something I usually do. I'm going to take the BPA, in my opinion, that could start right away and help an aging group.
Whoa! Have to say I'm surprised. Yes o-line is an aging group but offensive tackle is one spot I think they're pretty solid at. All could depend though, Howard could get a massive FA deal form another team and it'd be an immediate hole. He definitely is BPA though.
There were other players that filled a more immediate need, but were reaches......I won't reach for players...long term Gms here know I'll never reach for a player. Lewan was clearly my BPA and long term it's a great pick to help Geno. Many forget Lewan was considered a Top 5 pick last year before he stayed in school.
It was down to Lewan or Martin for the Ravens....what put Martin over for me was Lewan has a shady past that I think will come out pretty soon against him. Heard some pretty bad things in between the MSU/Michigan stuff and he also had a recent rape incident go against him where he told the defendant "“If she does, I’m going to rape her because [Gibbons] didn’t." He supposedly also clocked an Ohio St fan after one of their games though that got dismissed. Zack Martin has a better character is what I am trying to get at and Lewan comes off as Richie Incognito-esque. He's a good tackle but he might need to strictly be a RT....he should have came out in the 2013 NFL Draft, he wasn't as good this year. I get the pick since Austin Howard might be gone but I am not in total love with it but you were put in a rough situation with all of the players taken before you. [youtube]7if3VeSlgh0[/youtube] Idzik seems like a character guy, don't know if he takes Lewan despite his size and all.
Lewan has a mean streak on the field, he can be really nasty. He will bring an attitude to our meek O-line. He had an off field issue, something with a teammate's credit card in a bar......I don't think he's a bad kid.
Very Incognito esque. I don't know if we take that on the team but he can be a really solid if not very good RT for the Jets.
