  • Figured I would add this link on Florida Pro Day results...Harvin keeps looking better and better.

    Kind of wish we were in a position to select him.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Me too. If Crabtree is unavailable??

  • Not at 5....now if there is something to all the Jets/Cutler talk, and we ended up with the Jets pick at #17 and whatever else for Quinn...then Harvin starts to make real sense.

  • Our defense has been suspect ever since we came back, we seriously have a chance to upgrade the talent on defense to get the ball rolling for the long term. I wouldn't pick offense in the top part of the draft unless it was a tackle,guard or center.

    I like how the defense got better from 99 to 05 until RAC, then it started regressing each year. And he was supposed to be a defensive guru 🙄

    And if we loose Stallworth then what? Would you go WR at #5 or #36?

  • We can draft Barwin to play LB and if he doesnt work out we could put him back to his natural position TE 😉

    So are you comfortable with Edwards at #1 and I'm assuming Cribbs or Hubbard at #2??? With who Steptoe at Slot?

    Barwin has Vrable written all over him. DRAFT THIS GUY!!!

  • absolutely....

    furthermore, im even more comfortable to trade edwards......

    edwards is a mental with a case of the dropsies, and stallworth barely made the field (and didn't do squat when he did).

    so, i see no practical difference between 2 overpaid players that are ineffective and 2 average players that may or may not be effective.

    im not so disillusioned to think edwards is a #1......thats laughable.

    If you want to take the best player available and draft an impact player with that high draft pick then you take Crabtree. You can get Barwin at #36. And, how much more of an impact would Orakpo be over Barwin. If Barwin is gone there will be simular OLBs available at #36.

    My first option would be to trade down, but as we stand now, I would take the best player available if I had to pick at #5. There isn't a defensive player that would be available at #5 that would have the impact of Crabtree.

    The only thing I am saying is that I don't think Crabtree will have a huge impact on our offense if we draft him. Instead we can load up on defense that way the new guys will have a full year playing together . Next year when we go offense in the draft we will have a defense to back up the new offensive guys.

  • According to this board I think we "must" draft about 23 players, all of whom are going to be gone in the top 50.

    Maualuga and Barwin are must haves IMO. If we can trade down and pick up an extra pick it would be great.

    1st Maualuga

    2nd Barwin

    2nd Chung or Moore @SS

  • Can we please not forget we scored 1 td in last six games..... 😕

    I understand your point here was to say that Harvin isn't a #5 pick, but how does drafting a kid who made his career off of turning 5yd screens & sweeps into big plays (with the occasional post & corner route) fit with keeping a QB that can't make those throws?

    He's Wes Welker, but probably faster.

    I have been wanting this guy. I would take him over Clay. Getting him and Maualuga would be great.

    There's a whole lot of people I would take over Clay.

    Who ele is an impact player, a difference maker, that you can take at #5. Now, I would like to trade down and be able to get some additional picks to upgrade our defense, but if we have to stay at #5 I want an impact player and Crabtree will be the only one there. There isn't a defensive player worth a #5 except Curry. I am including Orakpo and Raji. Crabtree would a a far greater impact then either one.

    I'm not saying we don't need to upgrade our defense, but there is good value picks for our defense in the second round.

  • Decent thread.

    I'd love to have Harvin. Would we get laughed at by the Kipers of the world if we took him at 5? Yes. Would I be upset? Heck no.

    Shitty year to be saddled with a top-5 pick...the best players aren't going top-5, if that makes any sense.
