Huuuge Bills Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 My favorites from these would be Schmidt, Fluellen, Steltz, and Woodyard.

Woodyard is a player. He could still play outside linebacker (doesn't have to move to safety) and would be an improvement over what we have. Schmitt and Fluellen would be interesting. We need a fullback somewhere.
Astrobot Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 My favorites from these would be Schmidt, Fluellen, Steltz, and Woodyard. I'd go Woodyard, Schmitt, Fluellen, Steltz. Really like the linebacker-safety potential of Woodyard, and the way he hits makes me think of Winfield's days. We better take Schmitt-Hillis-Collins for a FB, and Fluellen is a space eater. Nothing to say about Steltz except big neck and pretty good special teamer--sound like our departed Stamer?
Lofton80 Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I have not seen anyone give Schmidt a 4th round rating. I would take him if he was there later. I wonder if Dwayne Wright can play FB? Why reach?
Stl Bills Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I think William "Hellicopter" Franklin is going to surprise a lot of people at the next level but I'll admit I'm overly biassed....can't ignore the measurable though 6ft 1 214lbs, 4.3 speed, 40 in Vert. He had good production at Mizzou but his numbers aren't as flashy because he played in an offense that was overly crowded with playmakers.
