My board.

[meatpile]

Who I'd like for #1, in realistic order.

Harvey
Clady / Otah
Mendenhall
Williams / Cherilus / Albert
Stewart
Merling
F Jones

There are TONS of o-linemen and runners up high, I can't say the same for d-linemen......and I'm thinking d line is a bigger need.

 

[Thelt]

I would go with:

Clady
Harvey
Williams
Albert

If all four are off the board then just go BPA regardless of position. Otah and Cherilus seem like reaches at #13.

 

[Wp28]

1. Jake Long OT Michigan
2. Chris Long DE Virginia
3. Ryan Clady OT Boise St.
4. Glenn Dorsey DT LSU
5. Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
6. Sedrick Ellis DT USC
7. Vernon Gholston DE Ohio State
8. Jeff Otah OT Pittsburgh
9. Derrick Harvey DE Florida
10. Rashard Mendenhall RB Illinois
11. Branden Albert G Viginia
12. Chris Williams OT Vanderbilt
13. Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon
14. Matt Ryan QB Boston Coll.

 

[Purrsy]

Heh, why not?


Derrick Harvey, DE (beats CW, OT only because DE is greater need)

Chris Williams, OT (tired of hearing about how he cant run block. Dude is 300 lbs+ and gets a bad rap because he's agile as fuck)

Ryan Clady, OT (Williams is more now ready---and like Clady, has tons of room to grow)

Jeff Otah, OT (Wouldnt mind him playing RT this year...wouldnt mind him, because in a few years, might be far and away the best in this class)

Rashard Mendenhall, RB (I'd be in shock, and pissed, but come gameday, I imagine him blowing up DLs would have us cheering like fools.)

Phillip Merling, DE (Id be pissed for the reach, but dude would only add serious power to our run stopping game, and is an anchor, and in the long run, could be a really good player, so...)



Obviously, Im discounting guys like the Ellises, and the dudes who will obviously be taken way earlier than we could afford.

edit: I said the Ellises....I meant the Longs.....

 

[y2b]

realistically, i'm thinking we'll take the one left on the board out of these three... Harvey, Williams, & Otah

and i'd be happy with any of them

 

[meatpile]

I'd be happy with anyone on my list.

 

[Jaz]

I'm gonna guess Otah and Albert will be there when we draft. We have to think we might go Albert. People are thinking he could play LT very soon. Even if he doesn't transition right away to LT we could put him at LG and still have a nicely improved OL.
Wharton, Albert, Kalil, Someone, Gross could be decent.

 

[PantherPaul]

I would love to have one of those offensive lines that seem to stay together and form a cohesive unit that knocks the defense on their asses. Clady or Williams on one side with Gross on the other with Kahli in the middle is a start
1) Clady
2) Williams

3) Harvey Would be nice and hopefully keep people from Double teaming Peppers. Not that Peppers waas getting double teamed late in the year

4) Mendenhall I have a feeling he is going to be a good one. If we take him I hope we can get a OT in rd 2 and become the running team we thought this team would become
5) Merling

 

[y2b]

I'd be happy with anyone on my list.

i wouldn't...
