I'm not high on Landry. He's got great accuracy, but he makes the most BONEHEADED throws at the wrong times and costs OU. His decision making isn't nearly the best in the world, but if he corrects it, I wouldn't be too upset with him at QB. He's got all the skills in the world, including accuracy as I've mentioned before, which to me, is the most important attribute in a QB along with anticipation.
This is a good cornerback year. There are a lot of impressive players. One big name that underwhelmed me when I watched his cutups was Alfonso Dennard. I'm not sure what the fuss is about with him, as I thought he was dwarfed by Amukamara. I'll be looking forward to watching more of him this season to see how he improves.
One guy I really enjoyed watching the cutups for was Omar Bolden from ASU. He's a really good player that I can't wait to see more of. Between him and Vontaze Burfict, the ASU defense should be a lot of fun to watch this season.

Yeah I haven't seen enough of him yet. At first blush though he reminds me of Cam Newton with his speed and agility and coming from a similar offensive system.
EDIT: Came Newton also wouldn't have made anyone's top 15 lists going into the year and he ended up being the first QB drafted. So much can change in a single season.

I just looked up information on Omar Bolden and it looks like he tore his ACL in spring practice and his status for this season is in doubt. That's a damn shame. I hope he's able to come back before the end of the season.

Agreed 100% with this. I'm a huge fan of Dennard, and wouldn't be shocked if he's better than Prince in the long run. I love his physicality and the fact that he's always around the ball it seems. Pretty hard hitter for his frame, too. I have Dennard, Judie, Kirkpatrick, and Claiborne as my top 4 CBs so far. I think this CB class COULD wind up better than this year's class.

I was wrong about Cam. Planet theory wins again.
wow what was the reason he left in the first place.

also do you guys think its about that time to get a big TE to improve our redzone efficency? Cooley is getting older hes having a few injuries here and there.. I think its about that time we unload him for as much as we can get start Fred and draft a Tall athletic TE like a Jimmy Graham and Gresham.
I am a personal fan of having a big TE that is a redzone weapon, which is why I am still a huge fan of Martellus Bennett (who I would have taken over Fred Davis in a heartbeat). He is in the last year of his rookie contract and is still young at 24. If he is made available I would like to see us make a run at him.
College TEs that I like are Dwayne Allen, Orson Charles (love him as a WR/TE tweener ala Vernon Davis), Levine Toilolo, C.J. Fiedorowicz, and Joseph Fauria. I am also very interested in the development of Logan Thomas as I thought he was going to be a big time TE and now we get to see him at QB.

I'm with Nick on him as well, right now he's a guy I'm keeping a close eye on, but I do want to see more out of him just like I do with Tannehill. Those are the two so to say unknown guys I'm watching. Unknown in the sense its not one of the highly touted names you hear

This is good to know, thanks. I had assumed it was a 6th or 7th.

There have been some guys I loved the last two years, but couldn't justify it in my head. I loved Julius Thomas this year, who might be even more raw than Jimmy Graham was/is.

Bennett has been nothing short of horrible for the Cowboys. Injuries, immaturity and general jackassness, and big problems actually catching the ball. I don't want anything to do with him, honestly, even though I think he could accomplish something somewhere new. But John Phillips was outplaying him by a long shot last preseason before he was done for the season with injury, and the same thing is happening this preseason. Bennett's trash.

Don't know where to put this, but if you guys remember this guy from the 2011 draft, you could give me your thoughts. Probably thinking too far ahead here, but:
Would be nice to steal a guy like that off of the practice squad, if that's where he's put like the blurb suggests. Only issue is having to keep him on the active roster for 3 weeks.Originally Posted by Rotoworld
