A realistic draft I'd like.

Postby lloydrules » Sun Mar 15, 2009 4:40 pm

Round 1. I go with whoever is left on this list.

Alex Mack, C, Cal - Everything about this kid says he is among the best OLmen in this draft. He is a legit leader, with tons of work ethic and skill. Adding him to the OL and using Hartwig as an OG might make the OL much better.

Eben Britton, OT, AZ - This guy is on the bubble. Some feel he is top shelf prospect, others think he's not athletic enough. For that reason I may go CB or S over this guy.

Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake F. - He's a little short but so what. He's an outstanding cover corner and we need to consider the position with B-Mac going.

Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan - Clark only has 1 year left on his deal and will be over 30. This guy shined at the Sr. bowl practices and had 111 tackles his Sr. year.

I'd also still probably take Robinson or Beatty here, still.

To get Ebon Britton Colbert will have to trade up. I have a strong conviction that Colbert will trade up in this draft. My hope is that he targets Tyson Jackson in the first round given the lack of 3-4 DEs in this draft and the fact more and more teams are leaning toward playing a 3-4. If Colbert stays pat at 32 I could see him taking a couple of the players mentioned in either Alphonso Smith or even Sean Smith as well as Alex Mack. I'll lose my lunch is Colbert drafts a saftey at pick 32. I want to read about Alex Macks pro-day before I'm sold on him. I know I'm in the minority, but I think that if Colbert stands pat at #32 he will draft Eric Wood...if he gets past WHIZ. Wood is the best interior lineman in the draft IMO and is a fast riser (mayochism) who will be coveted by teams like cinci picking in the early 2nd round. If Colbert stands pat at 32 he will surely trade up in round 2. Colbert will be looking to unload picks in this draft as there are few roster spots to be had on this team and several contracts that need extending. Colbert won't draft more than 6 players IMO.

Unger instead of Mack because of his ability to play multiple positions. :)
