Rookie starters '05

What position(s) will be starting a Rookie this year? :oink:

Hard to say - depends on our draft. Based on our roster, I'd say TE has a chance. Not that I dislike Royal, but he isn't the blocker that we used during the reign of Gibbs I.

cb or wr are the more obvious two. Dont expect either to be a week one starter though. Everyone has to earn their spots with Gibbs and Williams

TE and CB are pretty much certain. That's about it.

Speaking of TE, anyone know of any later round picks that might be a good fit with the team?

WR and that's all.

The guy from BC, I think his name is Dave Kravetta, although I'm definitely not sure that is right, would be a nice pick. He is a very nasty in-line blocker. There are no TEs that fit our mold well in the earlier rounds though, and that is why no TE will be starting for us.

Also, I don't believe we will be starting a rookie CB next year either. The only possible starters are in the first and second rounds, and as I think WR is our number one pick, we won't be starting a rookie. Either Smoot or Walt Harris will start across from Springs next year, IMO.

jerome collins
6'4 258lbs notre dame / runs a 4.53 / but very raw at TE
eric knott
6'3 249lbs michigan st. / natural reciever and can be a good blocker
anthony curtis
6'6 250lbs portland st. / could be dominate as a blocker / has upside with recieving

defensive end.

I looked up some things about Curtis. I like him as a blocking TE. I think that might be a good later round selection.

Anthony Curtis could be a good steal. I would still feel good about Dave Kashetta (thats his name) or even Tony Jackson from Iowa. Those guys could be diesel blockers in the 6th or 7th.
