Can I take credit??
Penning is the most overhyped OL prospect coming out. I've been shouting it for weeks now.Cactus Jack wrote:After watching more film. These are my OL rankings
Tier 1:
Ekwonu
Neal
Cross

Tier 2:

There's a large gap between the tier 1 & 2 guys. I wouldn't take any of the tier 2 guys in the 1st Round.
Ultimately I think Penning will end up moving to Right Guard or Right Tackle.
If the Hawks end up taking him I'm going to be so pissed.
I really don't think Ekwonu will fall to you unless the teams picking ahead of you are really stupid. Of course most of those organizations are quite stupid. I believe if you guys took Cross you would be happy if OL is the way you go.
Ekwonu isn't an option for us. If Neal somehow fell that would be the ideal scenario. I would be good with Cross. But my gut says they don't like him because he played in an Air Raid offense. So they'll pass on him.
Based on their history, Cross just isn't their type. Pete's #1 objective is running the ball. So that is the type of lineman they target. If a guy isn't a great pass blocker, they'll overlook it.
They would love Ekwonu. But there is zero chance of that happening. My biggest fear is they fall in love with Penning. He is precisely their type.
They would love to get their hands on Linderbaum. But Tackle is their biggest need.
I could see them going CB. Either Sauce or Stingley. I could even see them reaching for Lloyd.
