ROUND TWO TARGETS

[Guiness]

Why do all y'all want receivers? Cobb and Nelson will both be back for sure. They have a HOF type guy at QB. Spend the picks on D!!!!!!!!! They could throw out Taco Johnson and score 25-30 pts per game!

I would like a long 3-4 end, and a fast ILB. Don't really care about any other positions right now. I would like the first four picks to be D.

2013 was an even split, and I was much happier with how that looked than 2012 when they spent the first 6 picks on defense.

[Joemailman]

Also like Newhouse, however, Bitonio is surprisingly athletic and a savvy, competitive football player

that's just journalistic malpractice

Or satire.

I don't think I want a WR; I think I want the Best Player Available. I'm hoping that matches a need. With the being said, there is some star talent left at WR. If it's taking what GB perceives to be a potential future star like Moncrief or Robinson, or an average starter....I'll go BPA and grab the star in round two.

This is a year where the WR's are loaded..far deeper than most years and probably the deepest position in the draft as far as round one/two type players.

My guess is there is a big run on WR's but if a WR is there with hands down the highest grade I roll with him. Given how many good ones there are this year that could happen.

It would not suprirse me if TT drafts Richard either; he's a Center who is a great fit in our offense.

Of course I'd LOVE to see a LB with pass rushing skills who could throw Just a Guy Jones to the curb if he's the BPA as well.

But I"m fine with BPA at this pick.

[Bretsky]

Feel free to keep adding names............when I get home from work I'll try to paste our list into the day two draft board and we can watch them get plucked one by one up to our pick. Or worse yet...when the guy we want the most falls right into our lap...TT will trade down ..........lol

I like Bitonio quite a bit. The Newhouse comparison is scary, but I don't think it's valid.

Bitonio = 32" vertical, 114" broad jump
Newhouse = 25" vertical, 97" broad jump

Bitonio is a lot more explosive (e.g. stronger and more sudden in the lower body)

Amongst this year's OGs, Bitonio was 2nd in 40, 1st in shuttle, 1st in 3 cone, 1st in vertical, and 1st in broad jump. Actually, he more closely resembles Daryn Colledge athletically--although he's measured a smidge better than College. I think he'll be a better player.

Comment woodbuck27:

Eight of the remaining WR's that made the MM Top 100 are 6' - 0 " or taller. In his Top 100 Mike Mayock's listed 15 WR's and 11 of those are at least six feet tall.

In Round one as expected Eric Ebron was selected and by our NFCN rival the Detroit Lions with their 10th overall pick.

I feel like the best possible scenario is for Nix to continue to fall, either right into our lap or into a range where we can give up only a 5th or 6th to move up and take him. It seems pretty likely we'd have to at least get ahead of the Steelers.

That would give us two top-tier players at two of our three greatest positions of need (S, ILB, NT) without breaking the bank.

I'm skeptical that there is an ILB worthy of a 2nd round pick.

[Patler]

that later third is compensatory - can't trade.

I know that. I wasn't suggesting trading the compensatory pick. They have their own third round pick to trade, "their own second and third round picks." That is, their own second round pick and their own third round pick.

There isn't. The strength in the 2nd round is at DL, G, RB, OT and especially WR.

I think you could see as many as 8 WR's go in the 2nd round.

[HarveyWallbangers]

DT Timmy Jernigan ...another slug who plays at times harder than others
DE Kony Ealy...........up and down guy.....I'm ok with him

I think Jernigan is a 4-3 DT and Ealy is a 4-3 DE, so I doubt we'll take either. They have much more value for 4-3 teams.

[HarveyWallbangers]

My round 2 wish list (in order)

Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Louis Nix
Marqise Lee
Jordan Matthews
Ra'Shede Hageman
Jace Amaro
Davante Adams
Cody Latimer
Allen Robinson
Weston Richburg
Kyle Van Noy
Jeremiah Attaochu

[smuggler]

TE, WR, or DT!

E: I'd be okay with Van Noy, I guess.
