I like Maybin as much as English. I dont know why people are against him in the 3-4, he seems like hed fit right in. Very similar to English imo.

He's got all the tools and intangibles to be successful. -
As far as Maybin goes, I wouldn't mind it at all. He has huge upside. He'd probably start as a situational pass rusher and take over for Porter eventually.
I do agree about English or a corner though, although my top choice is Nicks. -
I'm not crazy about it. I want an OLB with our 1st pick, but there are a few whom I would want before Maybin, though I wouldn't be horribly upset with taking him. I've wanted L. English with our 1st for a while now. The Bears taking him doesn't makes sense to me. It says they need help at DE,

Hes got a great motor and hustle and work ethic, which the staff will love. Hes got some excellent passrush ability right now. His ability to set an edge and play the run are somewhat in question, but it is for alot of college kids making a transition from mostly DE to an OLB spot.
I would love to have Maybin on the team. -
To me, Maybin and Johnson are the same player, and I can't see using a #1 pick on Maybin as he is a developmental project.
Not a fan of Larry English at #25...IMO we could do better. -
Michael Johnson? IMO he is ready to step in and play, possibly at a high level. Its guaging his dedication and drive that will determine where he ends up and how successful he is.
Maybin I think could have success right away situationally, and could develop very fast. Definately much worse we could do at 25.Stitches likes this. -
Or not Tx, Johnson is interesting to me simply because he has such a high ceiling, but he also could bust out.
That is what makes him similar to Maybin, a high ceiling..."but"...Johnson will probably be gone by #25 though.
So with that in mind, why not take Sintim or DJ Moore or one of the better Cb's and fill a need without the headache? -
-
He is ultra inexperienced and a bit undersized and a Team would have to wait for him to develop meaning the effect of the draft pick is pushed forward a year or two.
Now he does have tons of upside, but he is a luxury for us, a team like the Giants or Steelers could take him and groom him to play as they don't need impact at his position quickly. -
Maybin is the "quickest" pass rusher in the draft.
And I don't see how you think 6'3" 250ish is undersized, since that is exactly what Porter is.
I also fail to see how anything about what you wrote would give anyone a headache? Everyone knows he is inexperienced with a high ceiling that will likely take 1 or 2 years to really come on. Where does the headache come from? -
So we draft a guy to play Part time in the first round and maybe two years from now he is a everydown player? And therein lays the headache, he could be Gholston II, if he is, we could have used the pick on a player who could play from Day 1 at Cb or NT or what have you.
And keep in mind, he does not have much of a track record at PSU playing up or down. -

To me, if I were looking for a passrusher at #25
Sintim, Johnson, Maybin then English..
Put English head to head with Sintim and who would be the better pick?
For me, Sintim..starter at a big time School so he faced better competition, he always produced, and has played LB during that time.
What would make English a better pick Alen? -
English's short shuttle was identical to Maybin, and .01 slower than Johnson. -
And Maybin is still a young man athletically speaking, if you draft him it is for potential more then Day 1 production.
The same thing happened with Chris Long last year, and he was slightly faster at the Combine, and even then, he did not set the world alight in St Louis last year. -

2. Purely because Johnson potential, he's what 6'6 and a lean 266, he could lose weight and play standing up, or gain it and put a hand down and he played against better competition.
Could you see English developing into a Merriman/Ware type of player? -

But that was at the Indy combine, and it seemed all the times were slower this year than years past.texanphinatic likes this. -

Possibly. If he learns to set the edge better.Stitches likes this. -
I forget, what were James harrison's combine numbers?
How about Lamar Woodley? -
English did not even do as well as Sidbury. -
Who cares if Sidbury did better? Is that supposed to be a knock on English, because Sidbury is a guy many people are high on. -
I know Aaron Maybin he is my friend. He went to my highschool.

Well, I made my case as well as I could Stitches, and the great thing is that in about a month, the debate ends one or another, if we take English or Maybin or whomever, that's fine with me.
