Another Draft, and More Confusing Picks??

Byrds a Free Safety so technically TWO corners :D

Although Maybin played in college at 230, he ran his 40 at 250 on Penn State’s pro day faster. At first, he will be a situational pass rusher until he learns to play the run better or like you said puts on additional weight.

Maualuga was off the board when we picked Byrd. I’d have rather had Brown too, but what can ya do now?

I agree with all of your views with thee exception that we draft Pettigrew-I prefered Nelson and had him as my TE since before the Senior Bowl and the senior bowl week further sold me 100% on him and he was a great pick.

Everette Brown woulda been to good to pass up!

I thought when we traded up it was gonna be for William Beatty and had we done that it seemed there were quite a bit of Guards who feel that would’ve been available.

I wonder why we took Nic Harris when Marcus Freeman who also shined during Senior Bowl week was available and even more so we could’ve had Zach Follett??

I think there’s no way we could’ve known but if we would’ve took Michael Oher at #11 we could’ve then got Everette Brown in the 2nd round and we would’ve had the best Grade in the draft.

Instead of Gil Byrd I would’ve chose Sean Smith!

As far as our O-Lineman we drafted happening to be of European decent-Grow Up-OBD never thought of or gave a care or likely even noticed there complexion what so ever and thee only thing they noticed was that they were Football players!

Also I was very very happy with the selection of Eric Wood although like most I would’ve prefered Alex Mack but with him not available Eric Wood was by far my next choice.

They went a lil wacky with taking Mitchell in the 2nd round when they could’ve taken him several rounds later, He was my Safety in my mock draft for us but I had him in the 5th round which I even thought that was a bit high for him but I also thought to take him there just to be safe in case other teams were also on to him, he might be a really good one but he also could’ve been the same really good one for them as a 5th round pick! Wish we woulda got him.

Im praying Maybin turns out to be amazing but he’s as mich like an NBA draft pick when they were drafted right outta high school as he could have enormous potential but also be a big bust at his size and lack of experience but at the same time his performance instantly at Penn St. was eye popping as a pass rusher and other than how we’ll handle in game and maintane the extra weight my other concern was his poor form tackling.

I keep coming back-LOL I had to say that the thing I like most about Maybin is his intensity and I dont think we’ll jave to worry about motivating him as we would’ve with a player like Michael Johnson! Maybin looks to have Heart and a desire to be great and we cannot weigh the importance in that:)

One thing I really liked about him is that he appears to be a guy who has a real passion for the game and a desire to be great and that makes the difference between a guy like Michael Johnson who has no heart in the game and MAYBIN who wants to go down in history:) That is what makes me feel a lot better about the Maybin selection:)

Also kaisertown-You’re a smart man!!

stem from this organization’s continued insistance on drafting guys who might fit a need, but never played that style/position in college. For example – If you need a SS, draft a SS, not a ball-hawking corner. If you need a guard, draft a guard – not a center with some guard experience. If you need a 4-3 DE, draft a 4-3 defensive end. Make those selections the “best player available” options. It’s so confusing to me as I listen to Jauron talk about Maybin in such a disinterested tone. He’s their top pick, he better be someone their going to work hard to mold into an every down player.
