I'm all about taking the athletic freaks, but he was legitimately terrible last season in a lot of games.

I know basically nothing about CFB at this point. I just want dudes who are big and fast.

Then you want Kevin King

Ok, but he's less big and less fast.

If you like Obi, **** it, start him at CB and see if you can coach him up. He's gonna need just as much time and coaching in order to be a safety.

he 1st.

After that there are a handful of pass rushers I would be happy with because all the good wide receivers will be gone.


So in the 2nd I like Duwane Smoot or Tim Harris if he falls far enough. In the 3rd I like Jordan Willis or Biegle.

Outside of OJ Howard, there isn't much I would trade up for, I would trade back to pick up multiple picks because the end of the 1st and 2nd round will be loaded with potential.


So assuming Howard and Foster are going to go before our pick, can we get on record what you would be willing trade up to get them? I just want to prepare for next year when you make the same claims about how you know what GMs don't.


IJS

So you have me on record on March 10th saying Foster was who I wanted, last year around this time it was Myles Jack, year before that Landon Collins, 2013 Leveon Bell, 2012 Hightower, 2011 Justin Houston. They sarcastically asked me who I wanted this year and I answered almost two months before the draft. I am willing to see what Ted does tomorrow....but nobody can say this is hindsight when in 2-3 years I am yelling from the rooftops we should have drafted Foster.

Fair enough. You're on record.

Did you just use Myles Jack though as a point in your favor though?

I still like Jack but even if I'm wrong my track record is pretty good. People tried to call me out two months ago and then tried to tell me I wasn't being realistic. I said every year a guy drops in the first....and pretty much every year we pass on them (excluding Rodgers and when we traded back in for Clay).

Im gonna say we trade down again and end up taking King, Bowser, or Awuzie with our top pick. Im also a big Ryan Anderson fan so I hope he finds a way on to our roster at some point. Another name Im watching is Chris Godwin from PSU. I think he's massively being undervalued.

Might as well take Awuzie or King and have the same ceiling but with a higher floor.

Agreed about the floor, but not the ceiling. Obi is in a class of his own in terms of size and athleticism.

I want to put him at ILB.

Sure. I think he'd miss an amazing amount of tackles, but it's the same train of thought with drafting him for any position. You hope you can turn him into a good football player.

Well, we drafted Dupre but I see your point.

Yeah, Dupre was my 5th ranked WR in this draft. I wanted him on this team and hope he succeeds.
