ESPN 1st Mock draft

[mission]

and why do so many people have spiller going so low? i just don't get how he lasts to the end of the round

In the last couple years, unless there's a sure-fire prospect (i.e. Reggie Bush ), the top RB draftees have been sliding to the end of round 1. Short NFL shelf-life and all...

I think the combine is going to change that when people see how fast he really is.

Here's to hoping he slips coming out of his stance a few times and runs over 5.0 !!!

[Bretsky]

Red would wet himself if this happened

i did just reading about it, again

i've seen a lot of mocks having us taking spiller, i love it

if there is no clear cut OT where we pick at the end of round one, and if CJ somehow falls all the way to the end of the run. then i would love TT to jump on that

of course he won't, he'll have a chance to draft him, but choose to trade down and draft some guy i barely know that plays QB or some stupid thing

and why do so many people have spiller going so low? i just don't get how he lasts to the end of the round

Ted does not like Red

Ted will not draft who Red Wants.......for suport...refer to Jordy Nelson and Justine Harrell

yeah i know they have shorter careers, and i know you can find decent ones in the later rounds

but damn, look at what kind of impact ap and chris johnson have had

i think cj can be that kind of game changing playmaker

LMAO as I'm reading this; I think we were both in the draft threads as they made those picks. A former poster, cpk, actually bumped the 07 draft thread to call me and a few others idiots for being disgusted with the Harrell Pick on one of the few games he was healthy. As for Jordy Nelson...he's a Packer person and will turn out fine...but dam would Flowers or DeSean Jackson look nice in Green n Gold

[Scott Campbell]

He probably should have bumped the Odell Thurman thread.

[Bretsky]

That mock almost has Taylor Mays falling to us
Would he play the same position as Bigby ?

If he would I'd take him in a second as well

But I'd take Spiller in a heartbeat

[mission]

Mays has no ball skills and has been out of position much this year. Think of Sharper with no INTs and a little bit harder of a hitter. He's one of those shoulder tacklers who tests through the roof (super strong and fast).

He's another guy, along with Bradford, who dropped considerably in the draft by sticking around another year.

Aside from the playmaking side of things, he could probably be coached up a good amount but he just doesn't have that much of a knack for the ball.

i seen it mentioned a few times that he might make the urlacher move from safety to LB in the pros

now that's something I can see... at 6'4" he's got the frame to grow into it like Urlacher did. Interesting.

another Thomas Davis ??

Brings back memories that created the Curse of Bretsky; remember how much I loved the Georgia Bulldog Bash Brothers ?

Odell Thurman, Thomas Davis, and David Pollack sp?

Davis turned out alright but the other two were junk.

Actually, Odell Thurman was the closest player to Wayne Simmons I've seen. But Odell was destructive from the get go. He never tamed down and as a result didn't last long in the NFL.

It seemed like Wayne Simmons needed Fritz Shurmur; he was not the same after he left

and he's already in the 235 lb range. another 5 to 10 pounds and you're looking at a super fast hard hitting line backer

and he'd be an ILB ? can't imagine you'd project a a pass rusher out of it but he'd hit the hole hard and be able to drop into zone coverages pretty easily. intriguing prospect really.

I hate to break up the Taylor Mays love, but have any of you guys seen him tackle? He does it with his elbows. He's got a long way to go before he can play LB, and honestly the tape on him isn't that good. Last year he was a top 10 prospect because he has a unique blend of size and speed, and people were surprised when he went back to school. In the meantime, he's been exposed as a player who is frequently out of position and often takes bad angles. He makes up for a lot of mistakes in college by being one of the fastest guys on the field, but he'd be a project in the NFL for anything other than "S who plays Center Field".

I know I'm not one of the most paid-attention-to posters here, but yeah... the Taylor Mays love was broke up a few posts ago.

Your regurgitation of my post was worded better tho.
