I was sitting in class today( Education 10) when it dawned on me. Theres less then a month until teh draft. Im so so excited and I just cant hide it. With that said id just like to give my 2 cents on the draft. While the O-line is never an exciting pick, exciting things cant happen on an offense with out a solid line, unless you call your franchise quaterback tearing his shoulder to shreds twice , exciting. I would'nt be upset if we drafted D'dbrick , character is not an issue with this guy and he had an unquestionable work ethic. People always bring up the notion that we have Jones at LT..... SO ? Theres a reason why dbrick is a top five pic and and Jones was a 4th rounder. Another things that is usually said is we can draft lineman late in the round like the PATRIOTS do. Fellas, we certainly are not the Patriots and while id like to switch our last 5 season with there last 5 seasons, we must have our own identity. Draft the best lineman in the draft and dont look back. Then we have Matt Leinart , all this guy does is win. Probably the biggest qb prospect since Peyton Manning this guy has all the tools to be successful qb, hes accurate can a read a defense like its none of your business ( but it is) and has decent arm strength. I wouldnt be upset with this pick either. Then theres A.J Hawk probably the best Linebacker coming out of college since Lavar Arrington, hes a sure tackler , good in coverage, just as fast as most wide recievers, and has a motor that reminds me of the energizer bunny. Vince Young. The man who single handedly beat the trojans, sent Mr.Bush hoem empty handed. I dont look to deeply into the throwing motion, everybody is different instead id ridiculing him for his delivery, we should accept it cause I dont remember him throwing any passes into the stands by accident because of his delivery. Ive seen Tape, no better yet Ive seen the Rose bowl and for those that say he cant throw he , that night he threw for over 200, and ran for over 100, who wouldnt want that type of athlete on your team. I'd hate , that 5 years down the line Vince is a perennial all star or worse a champion, and all we can say is we let that guy pass. Then theres my favorite player in the draft..... The Duke ! Whats that you say " We Don't need another TE" The fact of the matter is hes better then any Te we have right now. He can block, can sure catch. Wait did I mention that hes faster then most Wr's, rb's, Lb's and Safeties ? With all that that said I wouldnt be upset with any of these pics, I just want whats best for our team and all these guys will be great additions. I know this much, if we draft any of these guys come april 29th, I wont be complaining one bit.
I'll be glued to the set. I still think it'd be fun to get a bunch of GG guys together and all meet at whatever sports bar hosts the draft. Can you imagine the beer drinkin' and hoopla?
AJ Hawk Or D-Brick that would make my first pick and at 29th take the center Nick Mangold. That would make me very happy on draft day.
