Thanks for your support!
I think that Everson Griffin, Kareem Jackson and Devin McCourty all may go higher than anticipated and one or more may go top 20.
Yeah, McCOurty is a guy I am watching climb the boards. I had him as a 3rd prospect several weeks before combine but seems to be riding a rocket sort of like Kyle Wilson did. Be interesting to see where he settles in at although I don't see him much higher. I would consider him if we did a trade with San Diego and guys like WIlson & Mathews gone. I also have Nate Allen as a possiblity at that pick.
I keep hearing that Oakland may draft Mays & that could benefit Texans.
OMT, I don't recall you evaluating Jackson CB. What do you see? If we trade down to Chargers for example, the guys I like are prob not there. At the moment I would have to move a player up quite a bit to get the need position filled.
Interesting and a good call. Best center in draft and could possible sneak into top 19 if someone wants him. Thanks
I havn't really watched him much or focused on him... partly because Terrence Cody always took up half the tv screen.
But from what I've been reading, he's been shooting up the boards. Got good size and is aggressive. Better in man to man, bump and run than zone... solid wrap up tackler and very competitive. Started all but 1 game during his 3 years at Alabama (entering as a jr). Although the SEC doesn't have the passing that other conferences do, Bama recruits great players and he's got tons of experience against good running teams - something our CBs are expected to help with. So, although I'm far from a scout, I think he'd be on our radar if we were to trade down into late first (heck you never know we could take him at 20). But trading down, getting a guy like him + a 3rd rd pick would be gravy.
Yeah I read that and agree it made me like him as a person. However, I want a cover corner and think Texans may be looking to find that if available. On a trade down, I am looking at McCourty around #28 or Ansah in 3rd.I havn't really watched him much or focused on him... partly because Terrence Cody always took up half the tv screen.
nfl draft scout says when he received his draft grade letter from the advisory committee, he didn't open it but gave it straight to Nick Saban and said he didn't want to read it until after the national championship so he wouldn't be distracted. that's kind of cool.
One of the sights I trust alot has Jackson as the #2 corner behind Haden. He has excellent ball skills and fluidity. Here is some comments:I havn't really watched him much or focused on him... partly because Terrence Cody always took up half the tv screen.

Jackson is definitely a guy that I am warming to as a first round option. Throw in a small trade down and I would be a big fan. McCourty as well.
This is what they say about Jacksons turn and run ability:
Well that's pretty darn good imo. I find myself getting even more excited as we get closer to draft. One thing about beginning draft on Thursday, I can participate much sooner on Mb than waiting until Monday at work.
I agree that this will be a very exciting draft. Especially in the first 3 rounds. I suspect we will see a lot more trading this year than normal.
I'm very much pulling for you to be correct about this (although to be honest, I'm totally cool with anything in the top 19).
On the Direct TV NFl Total program I caught a few minutes over the weekend talking about Colt McCoy's Pro Day work out and he was rated ahead of Tebow. I think it was Casserly rating Tebow in second round.
