Jerry Jabber Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Really? On a team with so many needs you want us to draft a RB? Especially when we have Lynch? A guy who will be lucky to get just 10 touches a game? Come on now...thats like using a first round pick to draft a punt returner... We need a DE, C, TE, QB, LB WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY more than a RB. Since you mention how dink and donk Trent is, why not draft a stud QB who can get the ball down field rather than a player that will continue to encourage our "deer in the headlights" QB to just check it down and dump off again? Can this guy also play CB & safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is he not a playmaker? Does our offense not lack playmakers? You can lead a blogger to knowledge but you cant make him think. Here's a news flash for you..... Draft a defensive End @ 11 : Orakpo wont fall to us. Last year Michael Johnson was projected a 3rd rounder. He had a less than awesome senior year but still finds himself somehow projected to go in the 1st. Why you ask? because this draft class sux at Defensive End. Particularly if you want a pass rusher who fits the 4-3 scheme. E. Brown is a reach @ 11 and a dumb one at that. Most likely, as history suggests, we will bring in some washed up, 2nd tier, DE in FA that Chris Brown will put a spin on worthy of the Obama campaign and the world will be saved. Sound familiar? Drafting any Tight End in this class @ 11 or in the 1st round for that matter is a mistake even OBD wont make. We seriously dropped the ball last year in not drafting a worthy TE. Last years class was sick. And we f-ed up. Sound familair? Draft a LB @ 11? Not good either. Curry is the best defensive player in the draft and there is a host of teams that pick before us that will jump on him in a heartbeat. Rey Mauluaga is a 3-4 LB. And our fanbase would collectively crap itself if we moved the highky overated POZ to OLB and brought in Spikes. Laurenitis is this year's Dan Connor. Plus we will either re-sign Crowell or bank the farm on Bowen. Alex Mack @ 11 is too early for a center. He's awesome but guys like A.Q. Shipley and Jon Luigis will be around in the 3rd where centers usaully go. Draft a DB like Mays or Jenkins or even Monroe? plausable with this coaching staff. That leaves the drafting of a playmaker like Harvin, Maclin or Heyward-Bey(second round steal) as the most logical option. HAHAHA Have you seen the guy play? He is MUCH better than Orakpo. He wont have the combine show-off that Orakpo will, but I am willing to bet he gets drafted before him either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I too think we have way too many needs to draft a RB. Also, you might wanna be careful what you wish for. I live only a few miles from Landstown High School in Virginia Beach where he went to school. His senior year, he was suspended the last few games for pushing an official during a game. I really hope he has matured, but if not, he might follow in Plaxico Burress' fine Virginia Beach reputation. But he is another one of this generations amazing athletes who have never been told "no" to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
