  • These genuiuses want a safety or some useless Nose tackle or another OL dime a dozen guy or a linebacker do not waste your time they LIKE LOSING

    Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

  • Most posts I've seen here seem to want an impact linebacker, with a good bunch wanting beanie too. No one here is advocating an olineman right now. Besides, oline isn't really a need right now, at least not one that needs to be addressed in the first 3 rounds.

  • I guess when statistics and reasoning don't work on these geriatrics, good old homerism does the trick.

    Why should he do that? So he can do an imitation of Jim Tressel?

  • I want Orakpo or Everette Brown. 17 sacks a year just wont cut it in the nfl. It is a pass happy league.

  • Yeah, let's draft Wells... I mean, there is something you dont see often - Wells sitting on the bench injured. Again. No thanks.

  • @shepwrite said:

    I think we could trade down and get Wells a little lower, though. Pick up a #2.

    Or we could just take Mays or Curry and draft a nearly-comparable RB later in the draft.

    Stud RBs aren't a dime a dozen (I guess...), but does anyone really think Wells is on par with a Peterson or a Tomlinson (in his prime)?

  • @shepwrite said:

    Didn't like seeing Wells on the bench with a ding... but they were stacked up to stop him and the approach had to change anyway.

    I like him a ton. I think he's certainly one of the 10 best players in the draft. I like Mays, Curry, and Wells right now.

    I love Wells, but his injuries scare me. I think Laurinaitis proved tonight he is one of the top LBs in the country and Jenkins did a nice job shutting down one side of the field. They threw away from him most of the night. OSU has 3 legit first rounders.

    Wells is ALWAYS injured though Shep. I don't see how this is going to translate into NFL workhorse but I've been wrong before. Ohio State wasn't able to count on him vrs USC or Texas tonight. Every season I'm hearing he's questionable with an ankle or a foot so it's really a trend in his case.

    On the other hand, his college career is VERY similar to that of Deuce McAllister. Scouts drooled about Deuce's ability but worried about his durability. That was THE reason he slid all the way to 26th overall. The Saints got a gem BUT more injuries did shorten a few seasons and possibly his career.

    Beanie will go first round - it's just a question of where and why. Do you burn a #5 overall on a guy that can't stay healthy BEFORE he even turns pro?

    - Tom F.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

  • You don't waste (and that is exactly what it would be) a #5 overall pick on a RB. Period. That's just plain stupid.

    Adrian Peterson, you say?

    D-Mac, says I. (Not to mention that Peterson will be watching the games this weekend from his couch, just like I will.)

    This team has too many other much more pressing needs to waste a 1 on a RB.

    But I suppose I should defer to the infinite wisdom of Goo-Itch, since they are preparing their teams for this weekend's upcoming playoff games.

  • I was worried about Wells durability heading into last nights game, and he did nothing to satisfy that concern.

    The guy is explosive and Big ... but one would have to really look into his work ethic and minor injuries that permit him from playing.

    What exactly was wrong with him last night anyhow?

    Not sure - I saw that someone was mentioning concussion, but if you notice the last play he ran he came sort of hobbling off the field and it looked like an ankle or foot issue. Might have to meander over to the OSU boards and see what gives.

  • Uh oh, Rich and Ghoolie are both behind an osu player....

    That's bad news for Wells.

    Any time those 2 get together on "You've got to draft this osu guy in the 1st" the guy plummets or busts.

    Besides, Wells couldn't make it through an entire game with a month off to get healthy, Peterson had some red lights for injury prone but Wells, no.

    If we stay with a 3-4 I'm all for Laurinaitis or Curry in the 1st and Cushing or Clay Jr in the 2nd.

    If we can get a 3rd for DA I'd say go guard or center in the 3rd.

    Running back or wr in the 4th.

    Practice squad development OTs/ DTs with whatever we've got left.

    IF we shift to a 4-3, I'd say we have to go with Orakpo in the 1st and Clay Jr in the 2nd.

    Dream scenario for this draft for me is IF we stay with the 3-4...

    1. Curry

    2. Cushing

    3. (trade DA and watch 'em fall a little) Clay Jr

    Yeah, pipe dream, I know. But I'd rather get 3 solid kids this draft and let them take their lumps with the new staff. I'm told you're crazy to throw more than 1 rookie out at lb in a 3-4 in one season because you'll get slaughtered but how is that going to be any different from what we have now? On the bright side 3 rooks have only up to go.

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

  • Wells is worthless IMHO...

    He pulled himself during the game after he got his 100+ yards and reallysouldn't care less!

    Luarenitus was out there every play not taking one off! im not pushing luarenitus... but he is not a glass vagina!

    We dont need a selfish guy like that and im surprised that you guys really like that!

    He is a great runner... but a complete pussy!!! I want another Jim Brown... not an ijury prone selfish RB! football is rough! PLAY THROUGH IT IN A BIG GAME!

  • For those of you dogging Beanie for last night's injury, the guy has a concussion! Lay off! It's not like he re-injured his foot or ankle!

    I'm not saying I want Beanie with the #5. I am saying that the guy has only missed 4 games in his college career due to injury. The trainers kept him out the second half last night. And, by the way, Tressel kept him out of the USC game. He was ready to play and had been cleared. Tressel wanted him to get healthier for the conference games. So...only missed 3 games due to injury and 1 game due to Tressel being careful!

    I agree that, if we want Beanie, then we can trade down and pick up an extra pick. 5 is too high for him. Personally, I think Orakpo or Curry should be our pick at 5 and then go after Shonn Greene from Iowa in the 2nd.

  • I wanted Peterson last year.. I still want a runningback.. Beanie would be good. but if not him we MUST get one in the second round. There are a few good ones available. Beanie would be my choice as well. Some say #5 is too high.. There is no such thing as too high if you get the right guy. He should be right there when we pick as the teams above us do not have any glaring needs at RB. If we don't go RB in the first ...I like the other buckey Malcom Jenkins at CB... This is a playmaking position and worthy of the pick.. would make our secondary VERY dangerous. Linebackers are too hit or miss and cannot make the impact a top RB or CB can make. ..Before you crucify me ..LB's can make an impact.. but IMO not as much as a great RB or Corner.. I like RB better because we have a decent enough OL and a young QB who needs the protection of a good running game. We need a power back for our division and for cold weather games. Enough said... BEANIE BEANIE BENIE..

  • Why would you take Wells in the first when Shonn Greene will be there in the second round? Look at Matt Forte and Chris Johnson both have been amazing this year and were had in the second round. We have too many other needs to draft RB at number 5, unless his name is Peterson or Tomlinson and Wells is not that caliber. Ive said it before and I'll say it again trade down and draft Rey, he's a maniac and we need one on defense to play in the AFC North!

  • Draft Beanie. He would form a nice committee with Harrison.
