thats why i can not shake the feeling SP will take Odell if he is on the board in round 1

He's gotta take the needs off the board first before he goes to the wants, I think that is what made last years draft and free agent class such a beneficial one...

And if a resigned joe Morgan comes back to the team healthy I would by all means give him a shot at returning kickoffs. I remember him taking one back in a preseason game and I thought he would be great there, but the idea never saw daylight.

And I read he's a much better fit in a 4-3 than a 3-4. And yes I know we ran more 4 man fronts this year than 3 man fronts but I think when we get some more 3-4 LB's in here we'll see more true 3 man fronts.

Oh boy, galette, cam, hicks and a bunch of crazy ball hungry lbs coming for the qb... Chills....

Don't trust the "big names" that disappear in big games...

And, I've noticed a trend with SEC players in the last twenty years..

And Alabama Alum in the NFL have not done, well, until the last couple years though Julio Jones and Eddy Lacy (we'll see how he builds on this year) may have "begun to turn the tide"; and there's the promise of the recent bumper crop of offensive linemen; but that's very recent, so I've got the fine spectacles on when looking at Tide players...

I don't trust Wide Receivers from Tennessee, but man, do they produce some really good players, especially linemen...

They get little fanfare, but Mississippi State, especially Defensive Linemen and now Cornerbacks have been a solid producer...

LSU was embarrassed by JaMarcus Russell, though that's mostly on him; but, many of their defensive prospects have transitioned well; plus, they're starting to produce receivers; nothing All-Pro, but very solid players...

Of the SEC teams in the last twenty-five years, I'd rank top 5 as Tennesse, LSU, Mississippi State, Auburn and Alabama with best quality NFL players produced, transitioned...

At least one CB

Danno · 01-05-2014, 12:14 AM

CB, LB, and OC just moved ahead of LT

|Mitch| · 01-05-2014, 12:14 AM

Guess we can take a LT off the list, at least an early round one

Who voted guard? Both our guards were named all pro if I am not mistaken.

After this game I'd have to put CB as our top priority. I don't know if we'll ever see Greer in uniform again and after watching our defense without Lewis I'm sold on upgrading at corner. After that, go for BPA but I'd like to get some help at WR, OL, LB and Safety.
