Scouts Inc has Berry as the number one player in the draft. Thomas is faster and rangier. Berry is better playing run. There's one inch, 5lbs and one year of experience difference. Thomas ABSOlUTELY is worth the 12th pick because you can do so much with him.

Parcells still doesnt have that big nasty tough LB yet that doesnt let it get to the guys like Thomas....1st there was Harry Carson, then Gary Reasons, finally Pepper Johnson, remember those guys?.....he likes big LB's if and it is a big IF McClain is there at 12....Parcells is grabbing that guy...it is his MO....

Dude, based on what I've seen tonight...I'm down with that!

Only problem with that idea is this is really Ireland's show. Is it his MO?

GMan, he's a redshirt soph.

Well, I'm not sold on Thomas, but consider this draft is packed with Lb's, but not Safeties, there are maybe 3 Safeties that are legit Round 1 picks, so you could take Thomas at #12 and the nasty Lb at #43 and another at #74.

How good would Ingram look in Aqua & Orange?:yes:

If only Parcells were running the draft. He isn't.

Boomer where do u see Julio Jones going provided he comes out?

Boomer you think KC, CLE, or Den look at McClain?
I dont think Denver will b/c they just signed DJ Williams to a huge contract...not sure they load up with 2 expensive backs there.

I agree. Based on having grown up watching Parcells career in New York. Even though I may personally prefer Jerry Hughes I see three reasons why McClain will be the pick

1) its our greatest need
2) its a safe pick. At worst he's going to be a good ILB At best he's going to be very good
3) I only see a handful of ILBs that may have an impact whereas there is a slew of NTs and OLBs that have potential to be impact players

Fin...1st round. 2nd best soph WR. But he's a true soph.

I don't know Boom. Rumor has it BP is the one that really wanted Pat White last year (and, Ireland didn't).

You know anything 'bout that?

Come on you have to think Tuna has some "influence" in the draft guys?

They certainly might mate.

If Parcels was running last year's draft ... I feel like Pat White wouldnt have been a Dolphin ... that was a Jeff Ireland pick all the way

I was more impressed by AJ Green this year. Is that more just because of offenses and people keying on Julio?

I think it's a democracy but Jeff is his own man. I know that to be 100% the case and if he was a patsy, he'd just walk.

And, the rout is on...

WOW! Talk about an amazing play.

He has an opinion and some sway but Jeff is the guy.

TD Darius.

Jonathan Baldwin is the number 1 WR.
