Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

[quote=warriorzpath;536734]But I wouldn't take Orakpo even if he were available. I wouldn't take any DE in this draft class at 13, from what i've seen.[/quote]

What if we call Orakpo a LB, would you take him then at 13?

You can call him a LB, but what I see is a DE.

Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

we'd take orakpo to be a DE, but he won't be there.
maybin bulked up to look like an NFL DE and it slowed him way down, so i'd only look at him as a LB... unless you want a 240lb DE (and he's not dwight freeney).

Well Orakpo said we talked to him about playing the SAM so...

Maybin slowed down from what?

Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

I'm not endorsing it but, has anyone given any thought to the push we'd get up the middle if we drafted Peria Jerry to play next to Haynesworth? Just a thought.

his pre-bulked up weight. I believe he was only in the 240's while playing in college. at 249 he ran a 4.78, which isn't good on weight for a DE or speed for4-3 a OLB. I don't like his short track record either, but we'll see what happens with him in the NFL eventually.


how about this guy late?

hyper athletic low round OT (mainly due to a lot of injury induced missed games). he'll probably go higher than projected right now, but in the 5th or 6th, i'd take a chance there.

I think he was around 225 in college right?

Anyhow, at his Pro Day today he weighed in at 252 and ran a 4.59

Yeah. From GTripp's worst case scenario thread w/ all the OT, DE talent and Rey off the board I thought a little about this. It would be a nice move IMO [I]if[/I] we got a 2nd round pick for Golsten or Monty... otherwise it's pretty serious overkill right man?

If we think that Smith is a risk at 13, Maybin takes that to another level entirely.

Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

Check out what Maybin has been up to. Dude has gained 25 pounds in like 7 weeks AND suddenly runs a 40 faster than he did at the combine. This reeks of HGH if you ask me. Look at those pics. That simply doesn't happen naturally in less than two months.

[B]IF[/B] Monty steps up. Yeah. If he does'nt, not really. Jerry gets to the QB pretty well. It would be pretty hard to block them both. I don't care where the sacks come from, DE, LB, or DT. Just get 'em.

Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

I hope big Al takes Monty under his wing so the kid finally plays to his potential... Al's presence could pay dividends in so many ways.

I hope so man. Monty could be a hell of a player if he really applied himself.

Damn. He's turned into Superman.

Re: If Nothing Changes Come Draft Day, Who Would You Draft
 

I'd say Maybin's Pro Day has made him intriguing..at 13
