OT

My take:
3 *Greg Robinson OT 1 Auburn - nasty player that plays mean. Love that. Huge and moves people. Short arms. A little overrated however. Played in running scheme that hit quick that did not make him hold blocks long. Stiff hips.
5 Jake Matthews OT 2 Texas A&M Sr 6-6 308: The safest pick in the draft. Absolutely awesome in technique. Not the road grader but a pro bowler.
8 Taylor Lewan OT 3 Michigan rSr 6-7 309 - the most athletic OT in the draft...also the most volatile. Metal makeup is suspect but talent is awesome.
31 *Cyrus Kouandjio OT 4 Alabama Jr 6-7 322 - If healthy the most physically imposing player in the draft. Does not play to that label. If he played full bore he'd be the first pick easily.
37 Morgan Moses OT 5 Virginia Sr 6-6 314 Can you coach him to greatness? He plays the position straight up. No bend. Needs work but talented. Is he too nice? Needs a smack in the face and become nastier.
39 JaWuan James OT 6 Tennessee Sr 6-6 311 - Dominating run blocker who - with his temperament could completely dominate. Is athletic enough for tackle? He will be good somewhere.
59 *Cameron Fleming OT 7 Stanford rJr 6-5 323 - Extremely overrated. A get in the way type lineman just mirroring. Slow. Don't like him.
72 Billy Turner OT 8 North Dakota State Sr 6-5 315 Good movement. And size. Didn't face anyone.
92 *Antonio Richardson OT 9 Tennessee Jr 6-6 336 - A GREAT player when healthy. I mean could top this list. What is his health grade?
105 Jack Mewhort OT 10 Ohio State rSr 6-6 309 Good versatile player. Can play multiple OL slots. Does have a good nasty disposition and will be a good pro.

 

None of the first three will be available at 28, which makes it too depressing for me to talk about. Cyrus has the talent and fucked up knees. Moses is a solid starter, which is ok in the 2nd round but not really in the 1st. And I think the rest are OK 3rd round picks though I'm pretty oblivious about Turner.

In other words, I don't think we should take a tackle at 28.

 

Agreed...we move back a little.

But...if a crazy CB or other player is there we take em. Ealy could be a player. I wouldn't do that but if you like Khalil Mack I would ask how much difference is there? Mack is completely overrated. Fuck the hype. Look at their numbers. Ealy is going to be better than Mack. I believe that without question.

 

It's the least popular thing to do from a fan standpoint, but I agree I'd rather move out of the first.

 

I'm wondering if last year's magic carpet ride was really worth it, to be honest. It was great in the moment.

 

After the last couple years I don't give a fuck. It was damn fun being the bull even if only for a short time.

 

Don't worry, they listened to your concerns. We'll have a high pick in '15.

 

What about the Nevada OT?

 

The LT is already on the roster.

 

Yeah, 1st round!

No one excites me in the first past those top three. I do believe we take a WR if the right one is there, but am not thinking that will happen. BPA at a position we could get on the field in year one, I bet they do it. I'd probably rather do that too, despite the dire need.

2nd round, if both WR and OT with high rankings are here, will be interesting. Depending on what happened earlier.
