electricrelish Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 1.09 - Dontai Poe - Carolina Panthers Dontai Poe rocked the combine coming in at 6-4 and 346 pounds. He lifted an impresive combine-high 44 reps in the bench press and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.98 seconds. Although the Panthers drafted a couple of DT's last season, Poe is a game changer who will open up opportunities for everyone around him. I think the Panthers may trade down to get even more players, but if Poe is available at the nine spot, it would be hard to pass him up.

delusions of grandeur Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Dolphins draft their developmental QB of the future in Ryan Tannehill. With his college coach now on the Dolphins staff, plus losing out on the Manning sweepstakes, the Fins realize they need to try and develop a QB on their own. Tannehill has prototype size and speed, and will get to sit and hold a clipboard behind Matt Moore for 2012. Throwing money at Alex Smith doesnt make sense, as the Fins now save their money for free agency. Ah, good call... I had been owndering what Miami was gonig to do about a QB now, but forget that with Washington trading up, they'll be sitting there at a more appropriate spot to take Tannehill anyway.... With Marshall reverting back to his crazy self and getting their 1 true WR threat shipped out, it really makes sense for them to just move past the Henne/Marshall failure and start over..

BeeR Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah Poe is way overrated. Then again so is the combine. Tannehill also not a good pick IMO due to being too risky with that high of a pick. Guy only has a season and a half under his belt. A huge boom/bust pick. True their need is severe but it's not like they're going to the SB this year anyway. I woulda waited till next year to get a real QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woulda waited till next year to get a real QB. when i heard sherman was our new o coord, i knew this was going to happen. i think its too early for him but theres no other choice but to take him at 8. we have backed ourself into a corner and now we have to go with it....similar to ponder to the vikes last year. the kid is athletic and hopefully will come thru in 2 years after getting more time to develop......worst case if he doesnt work as a qb we can always give him #19 and throw him out at WR again.

BeeR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 He might work out fine and talk about need, again I just think he is too risky with that high of a pick. But maybe the new MIA folks are gamblers and figure they have little to lose at this point, which is true. KC waiting on the BUF pick, have narrowed choices down to 2 or 3 guys.

bpwallace49 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Beer. They need a QB, his college coach is the new offensive coordinator, and has prototype measurables. He won't play this year If Miami is smart, and let him hold a clipboard for a year. I stand by the pick. So put that in yer pipe and smoke it.

BeeR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) lol I already acknowledged the need, BFD on the coach/OC connection, and his "prototype measurables" aren't all that amazing and only mean so much anyway. And oh btw he often didn't exactly shine against top competition. One more time: very risky for that high of a pick. He's only done it for about a year and a half and such guys don't have a stellar track record either. You suck as a GM. Smoke that.

Not to mention that the rookie wage scale has removed much of the contract risk, which is why you saw such a boom in early QBs last year. I haven't really been that interested in looking at Tannehill yet, but given the situation alone, it just makes too much sense with Miami striking out in FA (other than Smith, who like you said makes little to no sense with Marshall now gone too. It's rebuild time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of COURSE it is supposed to suck as a GM. It is an over reaction based on losing manning and using other connections to justify drafting tannehill Maybe you don't get this game?

satelliteoflovegm Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 WR was a miss in free agency, when Meachem bolted for San Diego and the others were snatched up quickly. Floyd is a big target with speed but in the real world I think the pick is too obvious to work out. The real pick might be Dre Kirkpatrick. They have the pass rush with Mario Williams, to take advantage of that you need cover guys and Leodis Mckelvin, while talented, just isn't the consistent playmaker they hoped for, Terrance McGee is aging and often hurt. Buddy Nix is an SEC guy and if he has a CB rated high enough I bet they take him. The other possibility, if they decide to further emulate the Giants blueprint against the Patriots, keep picking pass rushers until Brady is dead or retired. Ingram or Upshaw, I wouldn't know which is better in the 4-3. For these purposes my pick is Floyd and we're happy to have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh2 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Actually a great choice for the Bills. I like it. It will give Stevie Johnson some breathing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Irish, Been following this mock draft, very cool. Could you fix/clarify this pick on the selections thread to include the position (which I believe is CB). Tampa Bay - Jolly Rodgers - LSU, Morris Claiborne, LSU Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Spielman has been leaking all over the place that elite LTs are not a must for a great team (of course the examples he gave had great QBs which you can fudge at LT a bit) and has been gushing about Claiborne. Smokescreen or what. I don't buy the guy has much of a clue either way. Edited March 21, 2012 by CaP'N GRuNGe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cox was the pick CAR shoulda made IMO. KC gets a needed help in the interior and Cox can put pressure pass-wise along with run support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajh2 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) We, Seattle Seahawks, are very excited that the draft fell our way and we were able to draft the best LB on our board at our greastest need. The selection of LB Luke Kuechly is the perfect fit for our team. Edited March 22, 2012 by ajh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
