Ive been hearing more and more about Sergio, I agree with drafting an OLB early considering Porter/JT's age. As of now though I would want Mclain if that was how it panned out before we picked.
Im not a fan of taking rush OLBs in the top half of the first, they have very high bust potential, with Kindle himself seeming to have high bust potential. A bad 1-2 punch. Passing on some of the available talent for him would leave a very sour taste in my mouth.
I'm going to wager that the Broncos don't take Dez Bryant nor Rolando McClain. D.J. Williams is too valuable a commodity and Andra Davis was a good fit there. My wild guess would be Morgan or even a reach for Cody.
If they dont plan on keeping Marshall then I bet they snatch him up... But if we are the team they trade Marshall too, then were good.
Bellicheck never once took a WR in the first round and this guy is essentially trying to be him. If Marshall is traded expect the other pick to be used on a WR not the Bears 10 pick that Denver has.
For what it's worth , Ricky Williams mentioned being very impressed by him in the championship game. Now it was not a scouting evaluation , but he did say he looked good and thought he would be an impact player at the next level. Again , just noting Ricky mentioned him.
At this point, I'd be upset if we didn't take Bryant, McClain, or Thomas at 12, and very upset if that list included Hughes or maybe Spiller. After a trade down, obviously that would be different, but at 12 I'm hoping for one of those guys.
Sometimes these things are overthought, I've heard alot about Kindle, but when I actually watched him play, he was great!. B ut that is the problem, he did not consistently play at a high level. Which was sort of Vern Gholston's problem.
I'd be furious with this pick not only over McClain but Thomas and Spiller as well. TV shuts off immediately.
Well atleast its a position of need. It would me the FO sees something in him or something they don't see in the others. I woud be more pissed if they drafted a QB, CB or a OL. Or even worse imagine if it was a Kicker or a fullback.
