I wasn't really arguing against McCluster, just wondering. BTW Chris Johnson is 200 lbs. whereas McCluster is only 165. That's a big difference when you are talking about blocking. The fact is, every year dynamic scat backs come out off exciting college careers but don't make the NFL because they can't block. Hence my wonder.

That's the problem with lightweight RB's. trying to make the transition to the next level. They're excellent and exciting players at the college level, but the NFL is a different story and they struggle to fit in. There's more to playing the RB position in the NFL than just running, you have to be able to block also. 165-70 lb. guys are not going to block anybody in the NFL.

His teammate Marshay Green is also a tremendous punt returner. Without a doubt he would look good in B&G.

Probably not, but who's to say for sure? Back in Jan. last year I don't think anyone thought Tyson Jackson would go #3 either. Anything can happen between now and then. Maybe you can go ahead and give us the first round of the draft?

Do you want me to tell you who were picking or do you want me to bull shit you with some dream trade down scenario?

I want the whole first round, 1-32. That way I'll know for sure who's available in the 2nd.

No kidding. What a beast. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be there at 5.

How did some folks on this forum want SNEAD ?????????

[Lotus]

Suh
Gerald McCoy
Bradford
Clausen
Eric Berry
maybe even Haden

All of these guys could come off of the board before Okung, leaving him at #5.

That's the point I'm trying to make. Thanks Lotus. Some things seem certain but at this point of the year the draft can be as unpredictable as the weather. There are usually some surprises. Does Oakland pick before us?

A) I agree with you all too, people shouldn't be assuming that he'll be gone by then, just look at Michael Oher last year, he was predicted to be the first tackle picked back during the bowl season, and then after combine and workouts, etc. Eugene Monroe and Jason Smith get picked before him. SO many things will change by now and draft time in April.

B) Oakland currently picks after us, but if we win tomorrow then we pick after them...theres no point at winning now, so hopefully we'll lose and get that better player. Because now we'll definitley be picking 5th, but we could be picking 4th at best overall meaning that we have an even better shot at getting Suh, McCoy, Berry, Okung, pretty much anyone you want. I know people are going to bash me for saying that I hope we lose, but theres no point at winning now with one game to go, and we should have been trying to win months ago.

He's not NFL ready, yet!!

I'm gonna try to make sure to watch the Central Michigan game. The more I find out about Dan Lefevour the more I like him. He handles pressure very well from what I understand.
