Who's Your Guy?

[Bretsky]

Explain the love for James ? I don't know him that well..he's the guy I've watched the least. But isn't he a safety with some pass rushing skills ?

I would think we take Ward (shut down corner), Edmunds (leader/pass rusher), and Smith (speed/leader/dominant 3 down ILB) over James.

What does James offer making him top 10 worthy ?

1. Chubb
2. Ward
3. Fitzpatrick
4. James

In that order

I think James might be the best athlete in the draft. 6-3 220 safety that can basically play any where. Extreme flexibility

[Bretsky]

1. Chubb
2. Ward
3. Fitzpatrick
4. James

In that order

you would take all of the CB/Safeties over the two elite LB's ? I'd rate Edmunds and Ward about the same and I'd rather have both of them before James and Fitzpatrick.

That's why I'd jump at giving up a 3rd to move up with San Fran. I think that's where we'd need to go to get Ward or Edmunds

I don't like Edmunds, and Smith I have fallen out of favor with. Honestly Derwin James is a better version of Smith.

James can help against the run and against the pass. He is a ver instinct football player, he understands angles very well

I also love Will Hernandez, Guard - UTEP, but 14 I think is too high (IMO), and 2nd round he'll be gone. I think he's gonna be a mauler for many years.

"he hates people" - Mike Mayock lol

He is impressive.

He might have another calling?

Otherwise:

Trade down from NO. 14 and Pick BPA OL ...and if that's GUARD Will Hernandez , I'd think ... OK.

Brandon Chubb - somehow, some way.

Would that make you pop a Chubb?

Who is that one player - big name, mid-tier, or sleeper - you would really love to see the Packers select?

Leighton Vander Esch

I think he is a fine player, but for what he does I think you can find something similar on the second or even the third day of the draft. For instance Jack Cichy does just about the same thing.
