Locker has "it" he's going to be a good one, pass on Mallett... Dan McGwire 2.0

DGreene, have you been watching the melts, or not yet?

That would be the bomb Matty if we could get a Suh type of guy to help out Orakpo. Luck and Green are gone for sure, and probably the QB from Missouri. Tony Shaw has bumped him up to the second best QB in the draft as of last night. That could change if Newton shoots some duck next week. I think if the Mizzou QB stays in we can get him next season or get a potential steal in the 2nd or 3rd round in a guy like Persa(if healthy), or some similar QB talent that is solid.

Only a few SS... I've been on other projects, but I watched Locker last night. I think with talent around him and some good coaching he'll be a pro bowl QB in the NFL.

His passing stats were not impressive, but he forced no throws and is very athletic.

What are you working on?

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Call me crazy but I'm actually pretty happy that Locker didn't play well, at least passing wise, against Nebraska. I mean the guy already has four years of tape, so technically the impact of a meaningless bowl game should be minimal. Plus thanks to the large sample size we can actually get a better idea of what type of player we'll be drafting come April, unlike certain QB's that are currently protected by small sample sizes. By the way I'm actually pulling for a certain QB to blow up at a certain Fiesta so his stock is JaMarcus Russel high by the time April roles around.

Not to mention the fact that we now won't only have to trade up but now we might even be able to trade back and recoup draft picks.

Anyway the fact of the matter is that there were probably a lot of teams that were already gunshy about Locker and the teams lacking great offensive coaches/system/players are probably going to end up looking elsewhere for a signal caller.

Suh is a frickin' animal but remember, we're running a 3-4 defense and a guy like him really would waste his talent in that style of defense. We need big stout linemen that can keep blockers off of the linebackers. Another pass rushing LB is a need and a damn free safety would be nice. A play making receiver would be helpful and interior offensive line help is an absolute must.

Day two sleeper: Mike Pouncey

Put him back at guard and we've got a potential pro-bowler that's awesome in space.

What? Day 2? Are you sure you don't mean second round, because Pouncey comes with a first round grade like his brother.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

No one is sleeping on Pouncey... He's a first rounder

How good would a Williams And Pouncey line be??

I'm liking this Andy Dalton kid from TCU, he's a gamer.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

I was watching the Fla. PSU game and I think the center from Fla would be a PERFECT fit here. His name is Pouncey, his bro plays and starts for Pittsburgh. High character guy, he's a leader, he can play both guard and center, he's fast as hell...guy was pulling a ton, this would be the perfect pick. Outside of Luck none of these QB's do anything for me. I say get some linemen first.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Small little 9,000 student TCU is really impressive. Their defense is well coached and very disciplined. I like their LB's and safety's play. They fill so well in the run game.
I also like how hard and well their RB's run.
