Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Who is left that shouldn't be in this draft?-----------Who do you think is the best available? Here's mine--(no order) 1.Elton Brown---OL 2.Ben Wilkerson---OL 3.Anttaj Hawthorne---DL I'm no expert but it looks to me that there is still some talent left here! Thoughts?
Smoker2Buffalo Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 That's about right. If Hawthorne or Brown is still there at our next pick, I'll be amazed if we don't take one of them.

Thoughts? 315875[/snapback] http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDr.../Remainders.htm Of this list, I'd be happy with: Jason Brown--C Ray Willis--OT Anttaj Hawthorne--DL Dan Buenning--OG Ronald Fields--DL (see a trend! )
Dr. Fong Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 That's about right. If Hawthorne or Brown is still there at our next pick, I'll be amazed if we don't take one of them. 315923[/snapback] Yeah me too. However, I'm sure they won't be there. They'll be taken with the two previous picks to our pick in the fourth.
FightClub Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Here's an interesting OT prospect that we might be able to nab in the 5th or 6th because of injury concerns. It's a gamble but I've seen him play and without the injury he should have gone already. Wesley Britt T, Alabama War Room analysis Strengths: Is a leader who loves the game and works hard on and off the field. Is one of the best run-blocking tackles in this class. Takes excellent angles, and shows explosive initial pop. Plays with a mean streak. Uses large wingspan well in pass protection. Weaknesses: Durability is a big concern because of a hairline leg fracture during Senior Bowl practice. It's the same leg into which doctors inserted a permanent rod and two screws into his tibia in October 2003. Must add bulk and lower-body strength. Lacks great technique in pass protection. Must learn to use hands more effectively and play with more consistent leverage. Must improve footwork when moving laterally. Lacks quickness. Bottom line: Britt has a chance to be a solid NFL lineman. He was downgraded for medical reasons but is an interesting prospect. Expect him to go in the early third round but it is possible he will rise into the late second round in the days leading up to the draft. Dan Pompei analysis Is a big left tackle pass-protecting prospect with long levers. Uses hands well. Shows good footwork and can slide. Is both smart and tough. Needs to get stronger and play with better leverage. Bends his waist a bit too much

Thoughts? 315875[/snapback] I think you're obsessed with the perceived positional needs at OL. Just remember this - last year TD had 13 OTs in training camp. He obvously knows better than the likes of us that sheer numbers can make up for quality when it comes to the OL. Have faith in his genius brother. When it's his time, if the best available athlete is a tennis player - he'll pick 'em.

Thailog80 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Speaking of Alabama, was Evan Mathis selected yet? 315988[/snapback] Yes to Carolina I believe.

Thoughts? 315875[/snapback] Draft magazines love Brown. He does hava an arrest record dating back to 1999, but is said to have been a "good citizen" at UVA. Besides, what are few assault collars amongst friends? I dont think he will last very long, but stranger things have happened I guess.
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Jason Brown Ben Wilkerson Elton Brown Michael Munoz Darren Sproles Antonio Perkins Antaaj Hawthorne And honestly, with the way the draft is panning out; if Kyle Orton was there at pick #4 and a number of those guys above weren't, i'd take him to be groomed into the AVP of the Bills.

When healthy, he is dominant and as a 4th rounder...I'd be willing to take a chance.

JimBob2232 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 My list of good players still available (not a need based list) Ben Wilkerson, C Jason Brown, C Elton Brown G Chris Kemoeatu, G Claude Terrell, G/T Micheal Munoz OT CJ Brooks SS Ernest Shazor, SS Brandon Bowner, CB Donte Nichlson SS Kyle Orton QB Antajj Hawthorne, DT Lance Mitchell, LB Chris Canty, DE CJ Mosley, DT Anthony Bryant, DT Lefors, QB McPhearson, QB Cedirc Houston, RB Adam Seward, LB Lots of good talent left...I would love to see Munoz, Brown or Hawthorn work their way to buffalo
UConn James Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 My list of good players still available (not a need based list)... Chris Henry WR (WHY is this guy still out there?!) 316028[/snapback] Um, he isn't. I beat the other WR available named Henry at pick-up BBall two years ago.
JimBob2232 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Um, he isn't. Hmm..very interesting. Indeed you are correct. I guess I can now get that puzzled look off my face.
