Thread: Early entrants for the 2010 Draft thread

i see bradford as a Kyle Orton clone. Bradford may have a bit better of a arm though. Hardly any pocket awareness out of him. Although he does have what i think mcd likes in Brains and Accuracy.

with urban meyer stepping down at florida, i'm betting we'll see more gators underclassmen declaring. . .

Couldn't hurt. There's a ton of talent on that team.

Would anyone be surprised with Dez Bryant? With the rest of our WR corps not producing adding another primary target would be smart. Also Royal may be best suited for the return game and slot back. Opinions?

the way i see it we have 4 options. we currently have the ninth pick and are options are abit limited

1. ILB rolando Mcclain
2. WR Dez Bryant
3. CB Joe Haden
4. trade back.....

i really dont see anything else here unless a suprise guy moves in to the top 15.....

You're usually more on the ball than this Indy. Orton and Bradford have very little in common. Bradford has a quicker release, more mobility, stronger arm, and better accuracy.

surprised? not particularly. . . disappointed? yea. . . we currently have plenty of receiving options that we can't or won't get the ball to. . . maybe guys like royal and scheffler just completely forgot how to get open after shanahan and cutler left, but that seems like an oversimplification to me. . .

not that adding talent is ever bad, but IMO taking bryant doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless we're not planning to keep marshall. . . right now i'd rank our needs somewhat, approximately like this:

1. center
2. defensive end
3. OG
4. quarterback
5. cornerback
6. ILB
7. nosetackle

doesn't mean we have to draft in that order of course, or even to fill all of those positions-- and that list will probably look different after free agency. . .

the only real similarities i see are that they both play quarterback. . . .

G is the biggest need we have follwed by center, then QB and RDE in my opinion....

we really need to foucs on those 3 positions for rds 1-3 if possible....i always like BPA but damn those are big needs we have.....


we are looking at a minumum of 1 new tackle, 2 OG and a center this offseason thats with weigman and hochstein staying....

kuper will be a restricted free agent unless a new CBA is signed, so we should only need one OG unless somebody signs him away from us. . . and we also have seth olsen, who may be ready to compete for a starting position next year-- and if he is, hockstein is a serviceable backup. . . OTOH, i think weigman needs replaced immediately, and we have no one behind him. . . you can debate it either way, but i see center as the more pressing need of the two. . . doesn't really matter, though-- i think pretty much everyone will agree that the interior OL obviously needs addressed, preferably with several selections. . .

and if that happens i see him immediately tendered and we attempt to trade him i do not belive he will be here unless we cant trade him...some team will bite hopefully they just lose the film of him from his last 3 games....
