He happens to be in the right place at the right time quite a bit. If he's there in the 4th/5th you can't pass him up.

He's not, that's the problem.

He's not, that's the problem.

this isn't a draft thread, but I have a hard time seeing him go before the 3rd. Either way, he wouldn't start on this team next year if Minnifield pans out well and we can get a true Free Safety. I think we all know having a true FS will solve a lot of problems on this defense.

Top of my FA's list:

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB
Sam Shields - CB

Why you ask? Because they both have 98 and 97 speed in Madden, and that would help out my virtual defense tremendously....

[justice98]

Beside the two you picked, I'd keep Darrell Young, Fred Davis, Jordan Black, Tyler Polumbus & Kory Lichtensteiger

I didn't see Young, he's definitely a keeper, my bad. But the rest are expendable. Polumbus would be good depth though. I wouldn't pay for Davis, he was good but not so good that I'd want to pay him coming off an achilles. You can find tight ends.

Rob ryan fired...hope no threads are created!

Jerry didn't like our offense being called "that crap" hehehe

[RANSKINS98]

Correct me if im wrong but isn't Clady a left tackle so why do so many of us want him? move him to right tackle? Don't think he would go for that.

Would love that for Madden.

But in all seriousness...Sam Shields will not leave GB. No one ever does.

Money makes people do a lot of things. People want Clady because Clady is Shanahans product. What they simply don't realize is that you should instead give Shanahan a draft pick in an attempt to get a OL he likes, as it is much more cost effective especially with the cap.

And don't forget, Brown was a left tackle.

Praise the Lord. I was getting so sick of having to see his face on the screen twice a year. He makes me sick.

[TimFolk]

I like all the future/reserve guys we've brought in.. all at positions of need too!!

[Laxpunk2006]

Nice. I was hoping we would draft him in the 08' draft, but he went at #32, two picks before our 1st 2nd rounder. He's a big DE, 6'5" 315. Ideal size as a 3-4 end. FYI, he's from VA...hometown Portsmouth. Went to Fork Union.

Insurance in case Carriker doesn't fully recover from his ACL injury?

He actually reminds me of the Kentwan Balmer pickup a couple years ago. Minimal risk on a high talent relatively young player.

Yeah but that is taking a huge bite out of the look a like thread, lol.

More importantly, Ryan didn't seem to have a good answer for us, we balled out in game one, and in game two he just sort of stuck two safeties deep and threw his hands up when we ran it down his throat all night. I'd hate to think someone competent might take his place.

What are people's thoughts on Ryan Harris. He's currently with Houston, playing in their zone blocking scheme. He was seemingly rescued off the scrap heap. I don't know if he'd be an upgrade over Polumbus, but if Houston doesn't retain him for backup purposes he probably comes cheap and will know the system reasonably well.

I'm just glad we don't have to play the Seahawks again. That McQuistan guy on their offensive line still gives me nightmares. The only scary Look-a-Like thread I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure he is not human.

[MrJL]

is it me or has the 08 draft worked to be one of those disappointing drafts?
