Well I'm looking at that proposition of getting three starters from this draft class and it may well be possible.
Best candidates of course are led by AJ Hawk and Abdul Hodge at LBer.One of them should start.
Then at WR, the Greg Jennings pick seems to be turning out OK and by all reports he's as polished and NFL ready as any of the WR's that were available. There were other WR's rated higher and his ranking was #109 overall yet picked at #52, but that's sealed.
Then we had REAL need on the OL and TT chose OT Darren Colledge ranked 58th overall at #47 ( most likely BEST part of the Javon Walker trade - although the pick of QB Ingle Martin @ #148 may surprise us) and moved on OG Jason Spitz ranked at #85 overall with the 75th choice.
Re-capping:
Are there three starters among:
#5 - OLB AJ Hawk ; #47 - OT/OG Darren Colledge ; #52 - WR Greg Jennings ; #67 - ILB Abdul Hodge and #75 - OG Jason Spitz ?????
I think so and . . . we still have seven more prospects from this draft class to assess. I'll mention CB (slash WR) Will Blackmon, who's taller and faster than Greg Jennings and may be slated as a WR, as his best chance in the NFL.
Outside of maybe Hawk and Hodge there isn't alot of flash in TT's picks but they fill the bill as far as I saw the need.
Alot of us may have hoped for a new prospect at RB but that comes next April. For now - with a wish and a prayer - we rely on Green/ Davenport and that man Gado.
