Saden1's Bitter Draft Poll: Who Do You LEAST Want?

[Slingin Sammy 33]

Outside of Merling or Talib, I don't want any of those as our first rounder.

Thomas - Not as down on him as GTripp, but he could very well bust. No way I use a #1 on him.
Campbell - pathetic combine performance. Either shows he's real weak or not motivated enough to prepare, either way he has "bust" written all over him.
Kelly - slow, whiny-baby.
Sweed - Nothing really against him, but we have more pressing needs than WR @ #21.
Talib - Good talent, fills a need, once we take away his bong and rolling papers and he'll be fine.
Merling - He's who I'm pulling for as our pick.

[That Guy]

kelly - 4.7, terrible workout numbers, huge injury concerns... just not a great bet.

[SeanTaylor21]

Devin Thomas, he had one good year, and I don't trust his hands.

[rypper11]

I don't want any WR with the first three picks. I'm not saying it's not an area we don't need to upgrade, just that none of the WR's are better than guys that will be there in the late 3rd round.

Talib, something about this guy just screams Ahmad Carroll to me

Ha! I like that analogy. Although I chose Malcolm Kelly. Given his recent poor 40 times and the dreaded character issues (sorry, apologizing in clearly scripted legalese doesn't buy you a pass in my book), not to mention injury problems each of the past two seasons, leave me wary of this guy.

I agree with FRPLG that we should stay away from all WRs in the first round. I just don't think there is that much difference between guys like D. Thomas, Kelly, and Sweed, and 2nd/3rd round guys like Hardy and Nelson. It would be smarter IMO to go DL, OL, or DB with the 21st, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we took a wideout.

The only WR that wouldn't piss me off at 21 would be Sweed, given his wrist is 100%.

Any of the WRs

I'll go with Talib (ironic I know). It's not because I don't think he's talented (OMG, he got burned by Jordy Nelson!!! So what?).It's because drafting him likely means getting lesser talent in later rounds at other positions.

Zing!

Definitely wouldn't want Talib after reading this:

“There is no way I’d touch (Talib),” one team told PFW. “He’s gotten into a lot of trouble, and he still does not get it.”

“He’s got a laundry list of issues,” another team executive said of Talib's off-the-field behavior. “He’s not a one-time offender. Give a guy like him money, and it never gets better. It only gets worse.”

If we could get Kelly in the 2nd that would be a steal.

[Larry Michael is Satan]

I voted Talib. Just sounds too much like Taliban.

[EXoffender]

This is tricky. On one hand you have to look at who's has the least value at the 21st pick. Scratch Talib. He would be considered a steal at that point and we would draft him because of that. On the flipside, Campbell and Sweed would be considered reaches. So therefore I wouldn't be happy with either of them (voted Campbell). Now. Thomas, Kelly, and Merling would be about spot on. These two wideouts bring totally different attributes to the game. Thomas seems to have the makeup of a prototypical pro. I think of Jordy Nelson in the same way: Can he be had in round two or on day two? Kelly seems to be a slower and possibly hurt Plaxico Burress (see how Burress still dominated games at less than 100%) Kelly is a nightmare for smallish NFL CBs and he doesn't drop balls. Merling is likely the safest pick.

I don't think Merling or Thomas will be there at 21, Kelly and Calais Cambell are 2nd round talent, Sweed is not worth a 21 pick,and niether is Talib.

I think the skins should
1. either trade down to grab an extra 2nd and 3rd, and then grab Calais Cambell or Lawrence Jackson(whichever is available), and Malcom Kelly in the 2nd round(a steal), and then adress the o-line and CB positions in the third.
2. or trade up with either Chicago to grab Branden Albert.
3. Or go big and trade up with Kansas City to grab Chris Long or Vernen Gholston or Glenn Dorsey, all of which are blue chips in my opinion and one would definetly be available.
I want them to trade down, but it seems like every team wants to trade down, so maybe we could get a steal by trading up. If Merling is available at 21 then just grab him, but all of the other prospects are not worth the value of 21. I say TRADE DOWN- aquire more picks in this very deep draft, that would be the smart move
