Zierlein:
.Martinez is a muscled-*up, throwback linebacker in a league that covets twitch and play speed over throwback traitsOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Bottom Line Full-*time starter over the last two years who plays with the temperament and ruggedness that Stanford wants in the middle of their defense. Martinez is a muscled-*up, throwback linebacker in a league that covets twitch and play speed over throwback traits.
His special teams ability and overall tackle production is a big plus, but his draft stock might not match up with his elevated college production due to concerns over his quickness.

It also appears that TT's happy at the RB position.Originally posted by Guiness View PostAgree that TT is likely to stand pat on WR. Abby and Janis came on strong at the end of last year, and if he's comfortable with them I can see him not wanting to add bodies.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

Martinez was on my short list, but not my top guy. I would have gone Booker or Dixon probably, and I wish Kwiatoski would have fallen to us. Martinez is okay. I guess that means Fackrell stays outside."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
