SpearSrai Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Remember, Hakeem Nicks went #29 to the Giants back in 2009... I remember a lot of us were high on him at the time. (we moved up to take Michael Oher at #23) Then Kenny Britt went next at #30. Dez Bryant went one pick before us, #25, the next year. (Tool.) Then we trade down and Gronkowski goes one pick before us at #42. (We would have taken him.) Then our actual pick falls down 6 flights of stairs. (estimate) Strange that two years later we're still looking for a big, strong young receiver who can actually catch... God Bless Torrey Smith, but he'll always be that #2 guy who makes the #1 guy even more dangerous. Don't we still have a need there? Why couldn't we take a guy like Alshon Jeffery in the first? Quote
cravnravn Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 With that 29th pick, if we lose Grubbs, will Jeffery be the "best player available"? Quote
RavenMad Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Jeffrey absolutely would be a great pick at 29. He isn't going to wow anyone with his speed but he still put up big numbers in the SEC and all the NFLesque speed that flies around in that conference. I just don't know that we can afford to take him there. There will be some good LBs available around that spot and possibly a franchise C as well. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 How about going after Mario Manningham?? Quote

I don't know if we can afford NOT to. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 How about going after Mario Manningham?? Why? He is OK but he is not that good. He drops so many passes. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Why? He is OK but he is not that good. He drops so many passes. He's another Mark Clayton. His stats on the year: 39 receptions, 523 yards, 4 TD. And his best year, 2010, was 60 receptions for 944. No thanks...Tandon Doss is probably that good or better. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 They have Nicks & Salsa Cruz, thats why his numbers are down.. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 He has fallen behind them because he doesn't show on the field. Cruz is ahead of him because he totally out played him. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Speaking of Cruz, he only makes 490,000 a year, maybe he'll stir the pot in NY a bit Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 He has way outplayed his draft spot. Quote
SpearSrai Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 They have Nicks & Salsa Cruz, thats why his numbers are down.. Eli put up over just under 5,000 yards passing. There were plenty of yards to go around and he barely cleared 500. Quote
yagersports Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I'm always wary of the Super Bowl hero, remember Larry Brown I think it was??? CB for Dallas that got waaaaay overpaid. Desmond Howard too, return a couple of punts, inflated contract in return. I don't believe that Manningham is anything we don't already have. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Speaking of Cruz, he only makes 490,000 a year, maybe he'll stir the pot in NY a bit I called it!!! Hes bitching already that he wants a new contract... Quote
