good stuff.....still wondering why you put tennessee in the mix tho lol

i guess we are going to pick everson griffen or taylor mays

i was looking at players all around ohio tho

there arent many OSU players worth looking at this season.....but cincy has 2 guys we may look at

not to mention sean payton always looks at kent state......if i was a betting man i would still bet OSU over USC but in the first round there is definitly a higher probability based on the past that we will pick a USC guy

even if it is only 2 to 1

another guy to keep an eye on is geno atkins

very small for an NFL DT at only 6'1" 285 lbs

plays a lot like hargrove does.......a pass rush specialist but isnt tall enough to play DE

could play 3-tech and help rush the passer but isnt the help we need in rush defense

a mid round prospect to keep an eye on

Meachem?

I would guess we let Grant walk and pick a DE first round though. I still like Dunlap but he isn't going to fall and Griffen probably won't either. JPP is my hopeful.

not big on griffen or dunlap but here is a little excerpt on carlos dunlap

11/14/09: Has major bouts with laziness and lethargy. Matt McGuire goes them into detail in his blog entry about why Carlos Dunlap is overrated.

Al Davis or another clueless general manager may take Dunlap in the first round, but there's a good chance that like Calais Campbell, he falls into Round 2.

of course this is only from 1 source but for all the flaming i take for wanting a talented DT with weight issues im surprised to hear someone want a player with even more of a work ethic issue

Just to get you going.

I hope Dunlap does fall because if he hasn't worked hard in college he will be the greatest player in history when he decides to do so. Thanks for that link. Gives me hope he will fall.

I like Cody enough but I guess I'm gunshy from a guy named Sullivan.

I don't care what they are saying about JaMarcus Russell. Sullivan may have been the worst pick in NFL history.

Danno bro, I would L-O-V-E to get a R1 pick for Harper...

I would be Farmer Fran ecstatic to get a R1 pick for Harper...

Only problem is...we get better value with our 4R and 7R picks?!?

I think it's just leverage for a trade of Harper...

I'd take a 1st too, but my point is he's a lot better than many thought. If he was truly the "weakest link", no way would any team give up a 1st rounder for him. Not even the Raiders are that stupid. Well thats debatable.

If he was truly the weak link we would bait other teams with a reasonable tender, like a 3rd rounder, or even a 2nd rounder.

If no one bites we pay him a lot of money for 1 year. You don't bait teams to sign a weak link with a 1st round tender. You typically do that because you want to keep him, or you want to encourage him to sign a long term contract.

In my opinion a 2nd round tender would have been best. If another team offers him an appropriate contract, we can match it or get a 2nd rounder in return.

The staff wants to keep him, and if they do lose him they're gonna get a 1st rounder for him.

Shawn Knight is close; but two ones for the move to get Sullivan?!?

Haslett's move to get Sullivan reminded me of the adage "It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

We traded for Sullivan; Cardinals got Calvin Pace and Bryant Johnson...D'oh

At #24, Indy took (gasp) Dallas Clark...

At #31, Raiders took (crying) Nnamdi Asomugha...

So by not trading, we could have had two of the following: Calvin Pace, Bryant Johnson, Dallas Clark, or Nnamdi Asomugha...

Further, even with the trade we could have picked one of the following: Jordan Gross, Kevin Williams (Williams DT Brothers fame), Terrell Suggs, Marcus Trufant, Ty Warren, and yes (cutting wrist) Troy Polamalu...

and he gave away La'roi Glover...

So we got rid of Glover, passed on some amazing talent, and selected Sullivan...

Haslett is the gift that keeps giving...
