Don Banks has Cushing at 14 while Rey Maualuga goes to the Broncos @ 12. Curry is in the top ten. Don't want to sound like a broken record here but i just don't see the appeal of Cushing w/ the durability issue and all.
... being that OL and LB are really the biggest needs for us (disregarding FA at this point) @ 13 we should be able to draft a game-changer at one of the two spots. There are 3 O tackles and the 2 LBs looking like early 1st round talent (leaving Cushing out)... be very, very nice if one of those fell to us. We could address the other position in FA.
Lol, if it's durability issues then we're on top of it. Bring him in ASAP.

It would have to be a trade down actually, because 13 is way too high, we don't have a 2nd round pick, and he almost certainly won't be around when we pick in the 3rd.
I'm just happy to hear that O-lineman are on the top of our draft board. Phew.
Agreed. Last year the FO talked a lot about getting a wideout, and they did. So if this pattern stands, our first pick will be a o-lineman.

That"s what I've been saying all year long, we need a real playmaker on D! we need a guy who can take the game over aka Ray Lewis.You just don"t pass on a "BEAST" !
"5 in a row or we don"t go " the sign of a lifetime !

Cushing, going by the clip, looks like a helluva player. He's as explosive as anyone I've seen going through the gaps and saying he looks like a tackling machine is an understatement.
My only concern with him is- his low sack and turnover production. I don't get caught up with stats too much, but I pay attention to these stats - when assessing playmaking abilities. I would like to pick up a player in this spot and foregoing need- to be able to cause turnovers and get to the quarterback. But he's still a helluva player, IMO.
I'd say if you think you are over-reaching for a defensive and offensive lineman at 13, then he may be a viable option. Especially at defensive tackle, because he may be able to add to the team some of the run-support skills that a playmaking d-tackle would bring.

NO WAY is this guy worthy of the 13th pick. NO WAY. He's 2nd round talent.
Remember Dallas Sartz? He had better numbers than Cushin at SC. He's now selling car insurance.
you are retarded....and have know idea what talent is if you are comparing sartz and cushing...are you comparing him cause they are both white and played at usc? well i know you are so please get a clue.

Mods I'd like to plea for a new rule: name-callers, particularly those who label others as retards, have to use correct friggin grammar in their posts or else receive a week long "ban" if such a thing exists. :oink:

Word
I think Cushing is talented but too many questions about him to warrant the 13th overall pick being spent on him.

Hey! I resemble that remark!? Or something like that. Anyway, I agree. The punishment must fit the crime. :spank:
