Dunlap at number 1?
 

Carlos Dunlap, Florida, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

Not bad ... a nice Grant replacement.

Some mocks have us taking him.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Yes, Dunlap would be a good catch as would:

Jared Odrick, Penn State, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

but I hope we get a veteran or 2 before the draft so we can use it on an OLB.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

I like Dunlap's skill set but he has never had a consistent motor. That is the one concern. But if he fixes that issue he is going to be a superstar DE in the league.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Dunlap scares me. I mean if the kid drops to us at 32 and then plays pissed cause all the other 31 passed on him...he could very well be a BEAST!!!!

I just haven't seen any indication that this guy really gives a **** one way or the other. Thats what scares me!!!

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

You don't take 3 types of players.

1. History of not giving a sh**.
2. Injury history.
3. Character problems.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Late round 2...sure.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Im beginning to think we might trade out of the first round and gain some picks....the draft is that deep...

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

I'm thinking we may trade up for that coveted DT, DE or OLB.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

This also...i just dont think we stay at 32..we either go up or down...lol

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

i agree.....the saints arent really the trade back type

i think we'll make a move for either weatherspoon or odrick

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Our payroll is reaching it's max but the nucleus of the team is intact.
Trading back for more picks doesn't sound like a good plan.

Trading up does. Why? BC Our defense could be shored-up with a weatherspoon type player.

We've proven before that we'll trade up for the guy we WANT.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

We traded back a few years ago-- I think it was the Usama pick

If we think we can still get a stong defender 7-8 picks down the line, then yes, trade back.

Realistically you could put 10 guys in a hat and have as good a chance at guessing the 32nd pick. Who knows who will move in the next 3 weeks? Yahoo had side-by side mocks- one had Mays at #10, the other at 22.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

I'm thinking so too.:bng:

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Trading up would be great.Would love to get a top tier defensive guy.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

This is true. In coach Peyton I trust,

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Mays is going to be a bust. I think weatherspoon at 32, he should still be there. Take him and then DT in second round.

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

No way Witherspoon last till 32....i can see the Falclowns grabbing him..

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Falcons are gonna go DL or WR. A lot of teams have other needs in the first round. I'm telling you, he'll be there!

Re: Dunlap at number 1?
 

Hey if he is we gotta pull the trigger,,,but it aint happening...he's too good ...I doubt Cody will even be there,,,you hear that Canton...lol
