With Two Picks Left, Who's Your Choice?

by saint on Apr 27, 2008 11:16 AM PDT Comment 26 comments

With ONLY 5 picks, it looks like we are going after the best athletes available and passing on linemen.

There are so many names that I've been considering for months that are still available.

There are Adarius Bowman, Erin Henderson, Athyba Rubin and Frank Okam who have all moved down because of team's needs, injuries or character issues.

There is also Steven Justice who many think can be a starting Center in this League, or what about Owen Schmidt or Jerome Felton for special teams?

Then there is my favorite tweener, Wesley Woodyard as well as the fallen from grace, Ali Highsmith.

What about Barry Richardson from Clemson? I like the guys intelligence.

Frank Okam

I think he will be a cheap run-stuffer that we need. I hope no one grabs him.

We have Sands Warren and Joseph:

But at this point, I’d be happy with him. The dude is HUGE!!!!

Well if we stay with the SEC, Ali Highsmith is a OLB, that might be worth

a look.

Yeah

I hear Highsmith is good. We still need a DE and LT.

I wonder how Kirk Barton, from Ohio State is healing, but he was a right tackle

That's not to say

he couldn’t play left tackle. It’s a bit of a difference but who knows, maybe he can. Come on, where’s the Jordan/Rhodes trade?!

P.S.

Does anyone know if Bowman’s gone? I hope not.

Saint, Why is Chris McDuffie still around. I thought he was a beast

in the few games I seen. Is he being classified as an OT, or a DT???

He has a 435lb bench press, so he is stronglikeox

OT: Barry Richardson Just Went:

I expect him to be drafted, but not by us. He is too slow to pull.

I hope we get him

I’d want him at OT but I’m not so sure of his agility for a ZB system. He’d be very good though for any team. I consider him a steal at this point.

I know we have enough running backs, and everyone would shit a brick, but

Mike Hart could be a steal right now.

We just got

Trevor Scott. Great Pick

He is a converted TE:

I am LOVING this pick!!!

Whooo

DE finally! Yes! Hopefully, he can contribute as soon as he gets in.

seems like a sound pick. Third in Buffalo’s history with 19 sacks. But then again it’s Buffalo. He was 16th. in the NCAA in sacks last year with ten. Looks like a good pick right now. Had 28.5 tackles for loss so he should be able to play the run well enough.
