First Round Pick - Page 4

TommyHawk69 · 02-10-2009, 01:35 PM

There are only four players worth the third pick in the draft.

Matthew Stafford QB Georgia
Andre Smith OT Alabama
Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest
Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech

I think Detroit takes Stafford and St Louis takes Smith. So that leaves us Crabtree and Curry. I think there will be a big debate about who to take, but I believe we take Curry. There is alot of talk of Michael Johson the DE from Georgia Tech dropping to the beginning of the second round if this happens I think we would take him.

Any thoughts?

I haven't seen enough of him to draw any conclusions.

However, if he isn't a guy who can get double digit sacks on a regular basis, as some have suggested, then he wouldn't be a top 5 value pick.

I've haven't either, and am not argueing for him. I'm just stating in general they don't get valued the way they should. I would argue Brown and Maybin should be moved up higher on the boards. They get the "tweener" label and that automatically drops them down.

But you get the point. RB's and WR are often consider top 5 picks, so why shouldn't an OLB in a 3-4?

well, WR and RB are glamour positions and over rated in the draft, imo...i think you'll see less and less of RBs being taken so high given the sheer numbers of good RBs coming out and the short life spans of them in the pros...

Hey man over on the coalition they think Michael Crabtree is the greatest player that ever lived, there's dudes over there saying he's better than Calvin Johnson.

WHHHAT!?!

I'll have what they're smoking.

IMO, he doesn't have the hands, seperation abilty or vert. ability that Johnson does.

Give Calvin Johnson a QB like Peyton Manning or Drew Brees and it you wouldn't be able to even compare the two.

Assuming Stafford is off the board, IMO, Pioli and Haley's history indicate they will go with Curry (50%), whoever they feel is the best tackle (25%) or BJ Raji (25%).

The Chiefs are not going to pick a ****ing cover backer at 3. Period.

They aren't tying up 100 million in the DT position. Period.

The aren't moving a second year LT who has proven he can play the position at a high level for a more expensive player who hasn't proven he can.

What the ****??

I can do one better:

There's a thread on WPI asking about trading Thigpen.

They think they can get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him.

Sooo, if both QB's are off the board and you can't trade down, I'm guessing you say take Crabtree?

I'd say BJ Raji over Curry or Crabtree at this point, though I seriously doubt both QB's will be gone #3.

No.

If by some chance that did happen, at this point I'd probably lean towards taking Malcolm Jenkins.

Who in the NFL would you compare to Jenkins? I didn't pay attention to him this past season.

Asomugha?

I would too. I don't know if paying that much to two DT's would be a big deal to Pioli or not.

He's good sized CB. I don't know if he plans to run at the combine or not, but I'd being interested to see some times on him. I believe I also seen something where the Pats really didn't seem to like taking CB's in the first round. Of course they never drafted this high so it's new territory for him.
