While some are not sure about drafting a DT early 3rd, I think it worth pointing out that, other than maybe Michael Johnson, I think any of the players many here wanted w/ that early 3rd are still on the board. The way this is going, I think one or more of the WRs we might have liked (Iglesias, Murphy, Barden, etc) will still be there at the end of round 3. Also, several OL (Duke, Merideth) are still there. Sidbury is still on the board.

 

Gilbert was not going to last much longer, but others we may want look like they will.

 

Plus, if we want (for example) a WR and a run begins, we have the ammo to move up and get one.

8 picks left in this draft and 2 are right around the corner, so you're 100% right. We'll get a lot of value but I sure hope the next 4 picks aren't DT's.

LOL. Honestly though, using a bit of hindsight, it appeas if we went w/ a WR or most other players (other than Michael Johnson) w/ our early 3rd pick, it would have been a reach.

 

I just look at the way the 3rd has gone, and to me, it is obvious Gilbert was going to go off the board soon, while others we like are continuing to fall.

There is all kinds of information on players and we all have opinions based on what we gather, but its there job to pick these players, so I am going to trust them on how they have there board arranged. This was a descent pick, and we will see. The players I wanted are still there, so maybe I will still be happy.

Barden to the Giants.

4 WRs in a row hurts.

4 WR's taken in a row. There's about 12 picks left. I can't see Johnson or Iglesias lasting that long.

Turner just went to Miami. Really? Turner over Iglesias? I'm a big USC fan but Iglesias > Turner.

 

This is shaping up to possibly be in favor of us. If there's anyway Duke Robinson falls to 99, he has to be the pick. Then go Iglesias at 105.

There will be a couple of good players at our next few picks, I would prefer the ones I like, but I just hope who they choose can play.

I hear ya, nfo...

Im glad Williams/WR---Tate/WR---and Turner/ WR are off the board, I really dont think any of them will pan out.

if we can get rashad johnson/moore with our 99 and then Iglesias or Louis Murphy with the 4th pick in the 4th round...i'll be really happy

the best drafting team in the league is NE and they trade down to these rounds and take players nobody has heard of and are successful. These are the best rounds for us finding players, so I could be very happy with these picks, just maybe not today.

here are the folk i like that are stil there:

 

WR: Murphy, Iglesias, Byrd

S: Johnson, Clemons, Bruton

G: Robinson, Johnson, Canfield

CB: DJ Moore

QB: Bomar

freak

johnsons just went to arizona

damn, Johnson S is off the board

Louis Murphy? Hell no. The best UF WR ever is Cris Collinsworth.

 

At Florida, you're asked to just run around and get open. That doesn't work in the NFL, and Murphy has had his share of drops this year.

Angelo is very much about tools, and Murphy has the tools.

Clemons/FS or Ingeliais/WR

Bears like Clemons so I think he might go here.

But don't be shocked when we haven't heard of any of em.

We got him with our 98th pick and alot of us here wanted him at 49, plus we have an extra pick.

Yep, makes that trade look real good, imo. And we have this extra pick here. We got excellent value with each of our 3rd round selections today. You could argue that Iglesias was similar value to the WR's we would have taken in the 2nd round (as they all tended to grade out similarly by most draft experts). Now what else do we get. We might just find our starting safety because we made that deal. I love it. Or for those clamoring DUke is always there but every year there are a few guys like this that fall and afll and fall and than it usually turns out that they fell for a reason. Than again, Alex Brown fell and fell and fell and we got him and it was a steal for us
