  1. romo and ryan didnt do either of that and got 100 million

     

    Ryan made it to an AFC Championship and had an MVP-esque season in 2012. And Romo plays for the Cowboys, who have possibly the worst GM-Owner in the league. That contract was a joke. But Romo has also been in the league for like 8 years.

     

    Luck will get around the same amount of money that Kap and Cam get. He's a better QB than both, but he is still somewhat un-proven.

  2. With the first 2 picks I would change the players, but keep the positions. I think Bullough will wow people today, and he seems like a "Grigson" player. And instead of Pierre, I would take McGill who won't run fast at the combine so people will sleep on him and probably Baptiste. Also we know Grigson loves versatility, and he can play CB and S. Another Grigson player.

     

    Also don't see us leaving the draft without at least one 3-4 DE. So I'd throw in Deandre Coleman or Josh Mauro somewhere.

  3. Yeah game film dont lie, He is out of our reach now, Those complaining about speed concerns were whacko, If there is a problem its that he is a little to skinny, needs to put on a couple pounds, Not much but a little and needs to be a little more physical

     Yeah I thought the same thing when the 40 time came in. Robinson could drop though. He had a disappointing 4.60. On the other hand, this Jeff Janis guy is 6'3" and ran a 4.34. Might be worth a look in the later rounds.

     

    Also Moncrief put up a 4.40

  4. I'm almost certain there is no way we come out of this draft without ANY WR. People are crazy if they think we should just wait until next year. No one wants to use that first round pick on a WR. That pick next year should go to defense or a blue-chip Offensive tackle. I think for this season we are set at WR. But we aren't in the near future. Whalen is overrated, as is Brazil who also has off the field issues. Not to mention we lack size in our receiving corps. I want defense in the 2nd round, but if Matthews or Robinson is there and they pull the trigger, I won't be mad.

     

    Or maybe even Donte Mocrief in the later rounds.

  5. Thanks. I wonder if the Pats will look at him just because of the Belichick/Saban connection. If he is there after round 4 maybe they do grab him if they are not sold on Mallett. But at this point I kind of hope they look at QBs with mobility. I think it is now a must in today's game. Just too hard to find pocket Qbs with the cerebral abilities of Brady/Manning.

     

    Word is they might trade Mallet to the Texans, which makes sense. I don't think he was ever supposed to be the Brady successor.

  6. Dansby or Smith are our best options. Their over 30, yeah, but we should sign one of them short term. They are both good against the run and in coverage. Each had 19 PD'S last season. Spikes is a beast against the run, and Riley struggles against the run. Butler is good, but is too expensive.

     

    Both talented but they'd just be stop gap. I don't want to go into next year and having to pay not only our rookies like Luck, Fleener, and Hilton in addition to all these other stop gap guys like Landry, Toler, RJF,etc...Free is the way to go. Draft. Once we have a young team on both sides of the ball, then we can start bringing in stop gap guys.

     

    It was cool when we lost most of our roster and Grigson brought these guys in so we could have a somewhat competitive team. Now its time to start building though. We can't sign LB's who aren't going to be there in 3 years. We need young guys who can be team leaders for 5+ years.

  7. I like Smallwood, but I think he's a bit overrated as well.  I'm definitely with you on Bullough, despite the fact he's getting a bit of hate on these forums.  Andrew Jackson would be a good substitute for Bullough if he's not available, he's just weaker in the pass game.  Jury is still out on Preston Brown.  Most these guys would be avaialble later in teh draft, maybe with the exception of Smallwood and Bullough (both of whom I'm seeing conflicting assessments).

     

    Someone suggested Kenny Ladler, and after looking into him, I wouldn't mind using a 5th on him.  Don't think he'd be an immediate starter, but could work his way into a starting role.  He won't be a game changer, but I think he'd be an above average player.

     

    People want Smallwood because they swear he's so good in coverage. But go watch the Michigan tape and he's a big question mark. Motor, speed,power,etc...is all questionable. You watch Bullough against the same team and he's exactly what you want in an ILB.

     

    But I agree on safety. I'd take a safety later for development, rather than trying to draft a guy high.

  8. I tend to think that Xavier will be a possible late first, early second as far as talent goes.  But then again, Warford was available in the 3rd.  So you never know.  I'm with you though, if he's there in the second, provided we didn't sign a higher profiled G in FA, then I'd pounce on him as well.  I think I'd rather address WR or CB in the 2nd, but this class is pretty deep across the board (save for FS and ILB, which, coincidentally are also team needs).  So I mean, no matter who you pick in the 2nd, you're going to be passing up on some very good players.

     

    The amount of top tier prospects that will be available to us in the 2nd is going to be ridiculous. I think Miami will pounce on Xaver, and another team will get David Yankey. But Gabe Jackson might also be there.

     

    For WR's, I'm almost certain that Jordan Matthews and Allen would both be there. But I actually like the ILB class. I thought that and CB were the deepest positions in the draft. I just feel as if a lot of the guys being billed as the top LB's are overrated. Not a huge fan of Smallwood and Borland. But I like Bullough, Andrew Jackson, Preston Brown,etc...

     

    I agree with FS though. Unless Bucannon falls to us, we should just wait until next year to get a Safety. I know Pryor will be gone, and I'm not "wowed" over Ed Reynolds. Lets use the 5th for a DE/DT
