the only thing- I think Undead Al may fall in love with Heyward-Bey due to his 40 time, and reach take him over a guy like Crabtree.

I’ve got room in the Conestoga Mk IV bandwagon for English………anyone care to jump on?

The only thing I think about is that who ever New England takes, Miami will take the other. So this could actually the Patriots taking English and Miami Clay Matthews. But I agree fully that Miami will go Linebacker (specifically outside). It’s safer and a great need.

In my opinion:

Aaron Maybin shouldnt be a first rounder. I honestly do not like what I have seen from him. I watched him closely at the combine and he just didnt look smooth. He needs to add some weight if he is going to play DE and even OLB in a 3-4. Running a 4.88 40 yard dash and being undersized is not a good combo. Also he only has 1 season of college ball under his belt.

Originally I had Josh Freeman as a 1st rounder going to the Vikings. However Im not sure he is still worth a 1st. He didnt have a great combine and that may have hurt him. His pro day will be a big day for him if he wants to possibly go in the 1st round. Although many felt that Joe Flacco wouldnt be a 1st rounder and he snuck in.

I do like the Larry English pick a lot. He has amazing pass rush skills and will definatley make an instant impact for our pass rush. The only thing thats bothers me is that I dont see him being an every down player for us (as a rookie). He will have to learn how to transition to the 3-4 and work on dropping back into coverage.

Its always interesting to see where Michael Johnson goes lol. I have seen him top 10 and then I have seen him in round 3.

English,Matthews, I can see them going after. Cushing to me is the most risk-reward player at that spot. His injury past questions his ability to play at the pro level and elite at that. If it’s not one of these type of players it’ll def be CB.

Harvin falls to 27th to the colts? I highly doubt Heyward-Bey is taken before Percy Harvin, let alone 9 picks before him.

he’s trying to snag TO!

I do think that KC should consider getting some o-line help but I can see them taking Curry,Dont know about Havin and the Colts I think they need a DT or a LB Love the Larry English pick

James Laurenaitis, ILB, Ohio State. He could be an option for New England OR Miami. It would sure go a long way to our run stopping abilities. And they could still get a DE or OLB in the second round.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

CHEAP SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!

today i woke up and thought about changing my Bandwagon because we already had signed a center. Then I started thinking about choosing Laurenatis but then said, you know what? choose the best pass rusher LB.

LARRY ENGLISH

DAMN IT

I’m alot more content with Roth, Wake and Porter than I am of Will Allen and Jason Allen at corner. You know i think Mauluga will slip and MIA will consider a jump to get him but if not, we can get a top 3 CB.

Harvin- 11.9 Yards per Play, Moreno- 6.3 yards per Play. Plus- you guys already have Addai- why waste a 1st round pick on a RB?

Nicks- he is good but do the Colts really need a possession receiver? Thats what Nicks is, tough, good hands, but slooowwwwww- Harvin is has big football speed- he’d be more of a weapon who could go over the top or take catches underneath for good YAC- not to mention the versatility of being able to take the ball out of the backfield.

if we do pick a LB Parcells has hit on Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers about 99% of the time.

Those of you that keep mentioning that OLB is not a need and should not be a position we take in first round might be missing something here. First even though we have Porter and Roth that are quality starters, porter will need to be replaced(if his play continues at this level resigning him will be steep) and Roth doesn’t get the pass rush team wants on 3rd down(passing downs). Maybe Roth can be moved inside maybe not in the least he is a “run-down” OLB and/or a DE rotator. We need atleast a pass rusher PLUS Porter’s replacement. Remember Parcells believes we will make playoffs every year and thus draft in the mid-20s or hopefully in the 30s for the foreseeable future what this means it is rare that drafting in this position you have the oppertunity to draft a true potential “game changer”. Also parcell looks for his “game changer” on defense though it is true they can be WRs or even RBs, defensive game changers are DL or LBers. This is one of those rare years where it MIGHT be possible to draft one of these “GCers” How? Because of the depth at DE/LB position AND depth at the Tackle position which is always a priority on draft day. First, hopefully 3 QBs get drafted before our pick(I am hoping Detroit drafts a non QB with #1 pick thus MAYBE forcing them to draft Freeman at 20 assumming both Stafford and Sanchez are off the board), the potential to have as many as 6 tackles in the first round(Monroe, Smith, Smith, Oher, Beatty, and Britten), 2 maybe 3 rbs(Wells, Moreno, and either McCoy or Davis), a TE, 3 CBs(Smith, Davis, and Jenkins), 4 WRS, 2 or maybe 3 DTs(Raji, Jerry, and maybe even Hood), 2 DEs or possibally as many as 5(Orakpo, Ayers and possables Johnson, Gilbert, and Jackson) so if things go well for us that means 23 to 31 players that are not DE/OB could be drafted before our pick obviously not all will be or could even be BUT this leaves 6 de/lbers with “game change” potential(Curry, Cushing, Mathews, Maualuga, Brown, and Laurinaitis) this is LEAVING OUT English and Barwin) So what position is most likely to have a potential “game changer” left for us to choose from? At wr I see 2 “GCers” and some maybe’s both Maclin and Crabtree will be gone then a slew of potential busts in Bey, Nicks, Harvin, Britt, Iglesias, and Williams, one or more will be available come the 56th pick of draft. At CB I see only 2 cbs I would draft at 25 Jenkins and Davis and both will be gone by then and then a slew of late 1st rounder/2nd rounders Smith, Smith, Moore, Allen, Butler, Byrd, Francies and 3 or 4 will be avalable to choose from at pick 44. So unless all 6 DE/LB(Curry, Cushing, Mathews, Maualuga, Brown, and Laurinaitis) are gone expect one of them to be our guy. Personally I want Maualuga, Cushing, Mathews, or Laurinaitis in that order with the 25th pick. With the 44th I want either D.J. Moore, Gilbert, Hood, S.Smith, A.Smith, Butler, Brace, or Britt(and even IF we get one of the 6 LBers and especially if Maualuga I’ll take either English or Barwin before all other choices. With the 56th pick I want any of the above mentioned CBs or Sintim unless we draft 2 LBers with first 2 choices. Don’t be surprised if we DO draft 2 LBers with the first 3 picks. We need a situational pass rusher(if Roth continues to start at OLB on run downs) PLUS a replacement for Porter after 2009 season.

top 3 picks(hopes)

25th – Maualuga, Cushing, Mathews(most likely)

44th – English, Barwin, D.J. Moore, A.Smith, Butler(best chance)

56th – Butler, Francies, Sintim(most likely IF only 1 LB drafted before this pick)

Parcells will draft what he believes is a potential game changer with the 25th pick for no other reason then you get few chances at them drafting in the mid-20s and later irregardless if we are loaded at that position or not :)
