Why Cushing?

I Think Cush is a late 2nd to 3rd round choice at BEST. that's just my opinion though. we really need to address the OL before LB too.

I would pass on Malauga, and Cushing. Both our very slow, and Cushing does not stay on the field enough to select him at 13. Malauga has good game speed but a 4.8 at the combine is disturbing. He plays MLB, a position which is a strength, and he hasn't shown he can play OLB. I like Cushing but I would wait until the third round to get a guy like Jason Williams:

Williams of Western Illinois didn't receive a Combine invitation, but 14 scouts did reportedly show up to his March 3 Pro Day, where he was clocked as fast as 4.46 second in the 40-yard dash. Only one small problem - the time came on a basketball court. But he also put up 26 reps at 225 pounds and had a 39-inch vertical jump, according to the Chicago Sun-Times

The basketball court is a forgiving surface but I think we should look into him

Good call on Williams. I read that earlier on CBS. He'd be worth a late round gamble depending on how the rest of FA and the front end of our draft goes.

I agree Vallin. I think there are some diamonds in the rough out there.

This is pretty easy.

Before Phat Albert they needed a DT, a linebacker (possibly two) an OG, a RT, a P, and a PK.

After Albert they need a DE, a linebacker (possibly two) an OG, a RT, a P, and a PK.

Heres the deal>>>The way its paying out trade down in the 20's add 2nd rounder

1st round DE Tyson Jackson (A obvious need)
2nd round OT Jamon Meredith (check the link hes a stud)
FA LB Angelo Crowell

My latest Mock has us getting Mack in the first, and then Lawrence Sidbury in the third round.

The alternative would be Sintim or Maualuga or Laurinaitis (or even Tyson Jackson) at 13 (Cushing is gone as well as the big four), and then Jonathon Luigs in the third, whose still available.

Mach at 13? Seriously?

I like the way you think GTripp. Though I prefer the first, either way it looks like a good plan.

[The Goat]

All about Sidbury though. Hell yeah. I'd like to think we could get him in the 5th but doubt he falls that far.
