OFFICIAL DAY THREE 2012......DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Guiness]

no reflection on his playing ability but mcmillan is clueless about the Packers and doesn't impress with his interview with the media. lot's of one word answers. faking his way through it.

??

were we listening to the same thing?

[wist43]

Who was saying TT doesn't focus on defense in the draft again?

Ted finally got the memo I guess...

He should have done this last year.

[Guiness]

Worst interview ever= Torrence Marshall

And Nick Collins! I remember listening to it and thinking 'wow, this is going to be something'

[HarveyWallbangers]

Last year, we had the 2nd ranked defense and the 9th ranked offense.

Agree; just think if he'd have drafted Jamall Sheard and then Justin Houston last yr.....or Sheard/DeMarco/Sam Acho last year...it's fun to second guess though

[Upnorth]

For those who are skeptical of the Daniels pick, Cullen Jenkins was undrafted in 2003 for the same concerns. The exact same concerns.

If PB undervalues him they could almost be clones!

[HarveyWallbangers]

I don't trust pro day numbers, he ran a 4.56 at the combine but had a 36.5 vertical which was top 5 for safeties in this draft.

I agree. He looks athletic though. Sometimes, kids are nervous and don't run well at the combine. 4.56 was actually good for a safety. Ranked near the top. The fastest safety ran 4.50 at the combine.

Why would McMillian be clueless about the Packers, they had him in for a visit?

clueless in that he didn't really know much about the team, history, players. you had to hear him to understand.

I think Cullen Jenkins is a wee bit taller.

Daniels is a wee bit tougher, though.

[Bretsky]

Tank Cardner.....to the Bills......

Not to be a stickler, but two years ago...

had to be...i guess we interpreted it differently. all the other player interviews left me with a positive feeling...this one left me...meh. like i said, it's got nothing to do with his playing ability. i hope he's rookie of the year.

Ummm... at last year's draft we had the 2nd ranked defense and the 9th ranked offense. The point being that our defense looked in better shape than our offense at this time last year. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's easy to play couch GM.

I think I understand the Daniels pick now.

It's exactly the same thing as when the Lions took Ronnell Lewis. The Lions are a 4-3 team, and Lewis is small and stupid. So he's not going to play SLB, and he's too small to really hold up on the DL full time.

But what you can do with a 240 lb DE in a 4-3 or a 290 lb DL in a 3-4, is put that guy in for packages and get after the QB. So if you're comfortable with a 4-3 team taking an undersized outside pass rusher in the fourth, you can be okay with a 3-4 team taking an undersized inside pass rusher in the fourth.

I am entirely at peace.

I agreed with your point, I was talking seasons, you ment the draft. I misunderstood the time frame you were using.
