BigCat's Top 5 At 21

[BigCatDaddy]

I'm a little underwhelmed at the lack of talent in this years draft, but as of right now come draft day here are the guys I'm pulling for at #21.

1. Phil Taylor - At some point this position HAS to be addresses in this defense. Taylor has huge upside here and basically offers us something we don't have on this team. A legit 3-4 NT. There are other guys later in the draft, but probably not the game changer Taylor can be.

2 Ryan Mallett - Here comes the boom or bust factor. This guys scares the hell out of me, but he has the best NFL arm I've seen in quite some time. I would applaud any effort at upgrading the QB position through the draft and you will never find a better arm at 21.

3. Torrey Smith - Our WR's are slower then dirt and Torrey is the perfect compliment to Bowe and should be able to get seperation. I think we are talking Maclin V2 right here. Smith, Bowe, Moe, Charles, McCluster is a lot of toys to play with on offense.

4. Martez Wilson - Team speed is still a major problem with this defense and Wilson upgrades that quite a bit over Belcher.

5. Justin Houston - A very good player at a major position of need. I wouldn't be thrilled by this pick ,but would just sit back and think "blah, but makes sense".

I gave you a link to an article that did a statistical analysis of Gabbert. It isn't a sweeping generalization. It is a point of discussion. If you aren't capable of reading the article and discussing it, then just eff off.

It's funny how last year all the drafturbators made the sweeping generalization that spread QB's suck; Bradford in particular. Bradford was going to struggle because of quick reads, not being able to take a snap from under center, etc. Now that there is a homer prospect all of the past concerns are thrown out of the window for a player that isn't even close to Bradford.

I don't even like Gabbert outside of the fact that he's a prototypical passer. I have zero love for Mizzou and am the furthest thing from a homer. Additionally, I loved Bradford starting even a year before he came out which is well documented in this forum. Do you have any additional generalizations you want to throw out at me? That said, even watching Gabbert you have to know he's an NFL passer irrespective of his touchdown (meaningless stat) statistics. Jesus.

FYP

I want our O-line, NT, and OLB addressed in the first 3 rounds. I'm not a big fan of Ayers so I either like to see Carimi in the 1st followed by Powe in the 2nd, or Phil Taylor in the 1st followed by BPA in the 2nd and 3rd playing OLB, OT, or center.
