Although it's pretty early I'm trying to make a list of players that certainly won't be there at #30... not looking for 29 of them... Defense: 11 DE Bowers (even with the injury concern) DE Smith, A DE Clayborn DT Dareus DT Fairley 34DE Jordan 34DE Watt OLB Miller OLB Quinn (even with the brain tumor concern) CB Amukamara CB Peterson Offense: 9 QB Gabbert QB Newton RB Ingram WR Green WR Jones OT Smith, T OT Castonzo OT Solder OG Pouncey Do you guys agree? PS. This means there's a 99.9% chance one of the following will be available at #30: NT Taylor 34DE Wilkerson 34DE Heyward OLB Houston OLB Ayers OLB Kerrigan OLB Reed OLB Wilson OLB Sheard DB Williams, A (as a FS) Except for maybe Williams (not such a fan of addressing FS in rd 1 this time around) I'd be happy with any of those guys at #30.
I never thought Kyle Wilson would be available at #29. It's still early, there will be some more movement in the next 7+ weeks.
Wilson to us last year is a great example of a top 15-20 dropping to a position never intended previously. I think even the Alualu pick helps us this year, some teams will reach for players that are needed and the Jags pick showed teams that reaching instead of BPA is a solid idea if you are high on a certain prospect. Which creates a domino effect and sends a player we may not of thought of into our hands to draft. Edit: Didnt even see your post yet about Wilson WW until i posted this haha I think players that this could possibly happen to are: Wilson, Kerrigan, Ayers, and Liuget.
He selected 20, then he said that ONE of a list of ten should be there. I think it's fair what he's saying. I hope that it's not Williams and I hope a couple of teams reach a bit so we have more than one of those in that list to choose from.
It's definitely fair what he's saying, not a bad idea just hard to say that it is certain. It was awesome last year when a few guys dropped and we were 3 picks away with 4-5 players that we all didn't think we had a shot at.
Deunta Williams or Aaron Williams? Have to ask since I know Deunta Williams was talked about in another thread.
I honestly think Houston will not be there for us. If he somehow makes it past the Saints I'm all for trading up in front of ATL to get him. but I think there is less than a 5% chance he makes it that far.
It's very difficult to trade up in the 1st round when you don't have a 2nd round pick. I think our 1st round pick is worth 620 points and the 26th pick is worth 700 (if I remember correctly).
