TC in St. Louis Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Maybin was projected by all experts last year as first round talent....and he has that, I believe. He was in the wrong defense. You can't have a 240 lb. DE in this league. I was at the KC game and he absolutely throttled this one guy in the 4th quarter....I thought he broke him in half. So I think he'll be a big part of the 3-4. I think having him as a full time outside LB this fall will be the equivalent of having an extra first round pick this year. When we first got Gailey I was upset. But now I believe he is the right guy. He's got a history of developing an offense around the skills of the players on the squad. And he put in new strength and conditioning coaches...no more tv's and country club atmosphere. This brother is serious. So I think he'll trade Marshawn and probably Whitner, to draft and develop his own squad. I read a lengthy piece on Clausen in ESPN the magazine, and the guy has the tools to be a SUPERSTAR in this league. If he falls in our lap, we need to take him. If we can stockpile a couple extra picks, maybe we can trade back into the first and get a stud LT to protect him. We get a lot of guys back from injuries, and to me I believe we can turn this around. I also happen to believe that Trent Edwards and Brian Brohm have the potential to be really good players. Under the proper tutelage. Look what Gailey did with Feeley in Miami, Kordell in Pittsburgh and that no-name guy in KC. I am very very optimistic.
uticaclub Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 there's only 3 elite LTs in the draft, if classen is at #9 that will most likely mean they're all gone
