2012 Draft

[DesertFox24]

I am not sure what to think at this point. It seems like only the second time in the past 11 years I am not thinking about a top 10 pick.

As you will remember we started 5-1 in 08 and then finished 7-9, and the year we finished 9-7 we started 0-5 if I am not mistaken.

Anyway I really thought our pass rush sucked but today we did some good things.

Coverage is still horrible, and we could always use some more linebackers.

OL depth definitely needs to be addressed with at least another interior guy and another OT, but I am not sure a first rounder is required. However, I love the LT from Iowa State Osemele and believe he could be a future all pro RT.

Anyway was wondering what you guys were thinking. WR would also be another option so we could get ride of Martin, and Parrish is a free agent as well.

Re: 2012 Draft

The team that started 5-1 in 08 would get beaten by 30 by this team.

Re: 2012 Draft

I'd imagine an OL pick or 2. A couple of rush LBs and ILB. A couple of CBs (oh the horror). Maybe another TE.

No doubt considering 4 of the teams we beat we picking in the top 5 of the draft that year.

Re: 2012 Draft

The pass rush was not that bad. We had a lot of pressure, despite near constant holds.

Re: 2012 Draft

Well after two drafts we have a good idea of what type of players Nix is looking for.

He wants bigger LBs that are over 250.

He likes corners that are tall 5'11 min height

He likes big tall OL

He likes DL that are 6'3 and over 300

Wr he wants guys over 6'0 and can block

And Cam Newton seems to be the type of QB he thinks is a ten year franchise QB, so look for a QB that can move, has a cannon for an arm, and above 60% completion.

I am so glad we are finally a bigger team and more physical.

Re: 2012 Draft

I'm going to say with a lot of confidence that at least one DB will be drafted high. A lot of people won't like it.

Right now the road to the SB goes through Buffalo:

Re: 2012 Draft

You're looking at:
OT
OLB
CB
WR

As your top four positions of need without a doubt. You likely add a S, some interior lineman on both the OL and DL, along with a developmental QB.

Re: 2012 Draft

Sadly... despite the Dick years of drafting 5 CBs a year... we still don't have the talent back there we should have.

Re: 2012 Draft

I dont know why were talking about draft.

Especially since were gonna have the 32nd pick. Waste!

And might i remind you all that we lead the league in int's. So oir secondary cant be that bad.....

With our 1st few picks I think we will see a CB, OT, and OLB possibly WR. Then in the mid rounds we will see a WR if we didn't already take one, C/G, S, and ILB.

315 yards passing given up in this game says something different.
