I like Floyd over Blackmon, honestly. If Alshon could prove to keep the work ethic he had during his combine/pro day I like him over Blackmon as well.Commander of Awesome;1141334 wrote:He's not. I would argue he's not ahead of a few. I like other WRs better than him.

I feel the 2nd and 3rd WR are closer to Blackmon than the 2nd and 3rd RB are to Trent.
If we don't take Trent, I'd rather trade down and accumulate more picks... As long as we don't trade out of the top 9 or 10.
I do admit a couple months ago I was 100% on the Blackmon pick...now I'm thinking there may be other options. But I still say he's a good pick at 4. I think he's going to be a BEAST.like_that;1141330 wrote:I agree about Blackmon. At first I was all about getting him at 4, but the more I think about it, the WR talent is pretty good this draft, and I am not too sure Blackmon is that far ahead of the other guys.
I disagree on the other WRs though...I think Blackmon is clearly the best WR in this draft.

I don't know but I think trading with Dallas and having these picks would be fantastic!
#14- David DeCastro
#22- Jonathan Martin
#37- Mohamed Sanu
#45-Brandon Weeden
#67- LaMichael James
#81- Chase Minnefield
And an extra pick next year

Any draft with him in it, even if it's a fucking 7th round pick, will get a big ol' F by me

The fan base would be pissed if this happened. Trading down and missing out on a big named playmaker would not be surprising though.buckeyes_woowee;1141398 wrote:I don't know but I think trading with Dallas and having these picks would be fantastic!

They may dislike it but an Oline of Thomas Pinkston Mack DeCastro Martin could have potential to be one of the best of all time. Also it is fine to hate on Weeden because he is old but in my opinion you have to take chances if you want to be a winner.

Ill take one of those Olinemen, but we need an offensive playmaker with one of those first rounders. Two olinemen would be the dumbest first round I could think of. I'd rather have Weeden instead of one of those picksbuckeyes_woowee;1141406 wrote:They may dislike it but an Oline of Thomas Pinkston Mack DeCastro Martin could have potential to be one of the best of all time.

I will put money on it that floyd ( barring injuries) will be the best receiver in this draft. He has the total package. I think his injury history is the reason he's not a top 5 pick. Blackman is another Crabtree/ boldin. A good receiver but not elite.

I don't necessarily agree with his mock (especially weeden, fuck that shit), but who gives a fuck? If H&H are going to start to make decisions with fear of dealing with a QQing fanbase, then they need to just quit right now. That's how FO's end up making stupid ass picks such as drafting Weeden. Winning will make any fan STFU from complaining.wes_mantooth;1141402 wrote:The fan base would be pissed if this happened.

I think Wes was just making the observation, I don't think he would mind trading down.

He's definitely right though..the fanbase would freak out. "H&H you're just afraid to draft a superstar top 10 pick because you don't want to pay them in 5 years!" it'd be something like that. Puke.

Yeah, I know what Wes was saying, I was just giving my thoughts on the fanbase QQing. When you are a GM you can't worry about what the fans think. If you let the fans influence your moves, then you shouldn't be a GM. I don't think the fans would claim they didn't want to pay a top 10 player, because Dolan isn't the Browns owner lol, but they def would QQ about not getting a playmaker in the top 10.SportsAndLady;1141465 wrote:I think Wes was just making the observation, I don't think he would mind trading down.

If we traded down and got three first rounds, I would like to get 3 offensive players. WR/Oline/Best available? (This is if Richardson isn't there, if he is Trich/WR/Oline). If they have a 2nd round pick after that I would still be tempted draft an offensive player.

Im so sick of watching this bogus offense lol especially cuz our defense was decent last yr and will only be getting better.

So worst case scenario right now would be Tampa trading up to #3 to take Richardson and unable to trade back to get value. Who would you want then?

Listening to Draftcountdown podcast this morning, they're saying what Durkie was saying. Character concerns will push Jenkins close to bottom of the 1st or 2nd round in the draft. I didn't realize he also had 4 kids with 4 different women. They say on talent/tape he's the #1 or #2 corner in this draft and the best cover corner. Yet his off the field BS will push him down.

Kalil....I think you can still get a Playmaking WR with that 2nd first round pick without the top 10 pick investment and expectations. I have always believed you have to build your O/D-lines through the draft and that is how you win games. Drafting Kalil will solidified the offensive line, even though he is moving over from LT....he is still the best OL in this draft so you take him.Sonofanump;1141487 wrote:So worst case scenario right now would be Tampa trading up to #3 to take Richardson and unable to trade back to get value.

Are the Bucs really that interested in Richardson?? They have Blount, who seems to be working out pretty good for them. Just seems like they have bigger needs..like Clariborne

I am all for this. This is the beauty of having 13 picks, you can take a flier on a guy like him in the later rounds.
