Bradford/Clausen now split among Mock Drafts

SmootSmack · 02-12-2010, 05:43 PM

I think we actually have the 4th and 37th picks (5th pick in the 2nd round)

Buluga....Second Round....????? *very confused face* You do realize that Buluga is being projected right now as a top 10 pick right?

Quote:

Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga (6-6, 311); Grade: 94 -- Bulaga jumps from No. 20 to No. 6 in large part because he appears far more comfortable in pass protection on the left side than Oklahoma's Trent Williams.

Bulaga isn't as explosive or as athletic as Rutgers OT Anthony Davis (No. 4 overall to Washington), but Bulaga is quick enough to prevent edge rushers from turning the corner and shows excellent balance when forced to change directions quickly. Bulaga also has the frame, strength and toughness to develop into an effective drive blocker.

Bulaga could continue to climb and jump ahead of Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung, who played well enough to be an early first-round pick but did not dominate the point of attack as we expected. Bulaga is also helped by the changes to the final draft order, which now has three teams with significant need at offensive tackle among the top six overall picks.

I could see Bulaga to the late 1st, maybe even the top of the 2nd. More likely late 1st though

That would be a blessing if he made it to the second. Though I'm sure even then he would get snatched up before the fifth pick. Personally I loved the Pro Draft Party video on him. He's got a mean streak in him but at the same time he appears to be pretty athletic.

Anyone have any thoughts on Koa Misi?

It's impossible to argue w/ this kind of sound logic 53

From what I've read he projects to be a late round pick and will be converted from a DE to a 3-4 LB. Good size. Could be worth a shot.

Now that's the kind of thinking that builds teams into perennial contenders. He looks to be a mid - late round pick who showed up solidly at the Senior Bowl. A hybrid type, high motor guy who could be a good piece to build a defense with.

If I was running the team, I'd draft a LT with the 4th overall pick, and a RT with the 37th overall pick. The RT market is pretty strong this year (might even be able to trade down), while the LT market, you pretty much need to pick in the top ten or nail a sleeper.

I find myself torn on JC. I mean I look at the poor line play and I see a guy who was able to get an 86.4 rating despite pressure being constantly in his face. Then I see the guy who couldn't put up over 200 yards passing against the Giants on 28 pass attempts but Todd Collins gets 57 yards in 4 attempts (by the way might not be the worse idea to keep Collins instead of Colt).

How much of the yardage was garbage yardage from teams playing prevent after building a great lead on our bend don't break defense? Do you guys have THAT MUCH FAITH in JC, or are you truly scared of the prospect of a rookie QB. I mean what if we get similar results next year? Are you guys going to look at the rookie QB class and say "no, next years will be stronger, yeah definitely not this one."

Either way I don't care if it's Bradrod, Clausen, or even McCoy. We need a plan B. This is a very good QB class and I'd rather get a one year jump on a young QB while we're rebuilding rather then making sure the line is absolutley Madden perfect before we even consider going through the growing pains of adding a rookie QB.

And on a slightly seperate note: Do not, I repeat DO NOT, tell me that when Matt Ryan came into the Falcons as a rookie that they had their line situated. Their line was actually just as bad as ours giving up 47 sacks in 2007 and the only real addition was Sam Baker who started a grand total of 5 games.

I've seen this argument on ES as a way to discourage people for calling for a rookie QB and while thats just fine and dandy over there I will not tolerate it over here. It's also fine if you don't want us to draft a QB,there's no right or wrong answer at this point and there are strong points for both sides, I myself frequently find myself torn between my love for the line and my knowing the importance of the QB position but for the love of God please stick to the facts.

Buluga looked real good in that tape posted... I like this legend!

SmootSmack · 02-12-2010, 11:05 PM

Redskins Reps met with Misi at the Senior Bowl, which is why I ask. Doesn't mean they'll draft him, last year they spoke to Clay Matthews at the Senior Bowl
