J Hill.

QBs make receivers.

Sam Bradford isn’t whining about lack of WR talent. He’s making money throws downfield that any athlete who made it to the NFL can catch.

The Bills finally found their QB of the future in Fitzpatrick. They LET GO of Owens. Fitz is making stars out of whoever is left there.

The QB makes the WR.

Wiz has size issues and power issues and tends to get pushed back by Big Nose Tackles

******************

Probably why he was replaced as the teams center.

He is playing G now.

I’m starting to think that OLB may be the weakest link in the run D (Groves), and the top 4-3 OLBs are Travis Lewis, Greg Jones, and Bruce Carter. In most of the mocks I read, atleast one of those 3 slip to the Raiders and it the reasoning is usually because 4-3 OLBs are slowly getting less valuable.

Vegas,

That’s what I’m thinking. Later 1st or early 2nd. It will be interesting to keep up with this after a few months (after pro days and the combine).

Later Gents and Happy New Year.

Wiz wont drop to the 3rd round but Greg Jones will be a early 2nd round pick…There’s alot of good OLB’S in the draft..

And If you guys are going to watch the Connecticut game look out for Lawrence Williams who plays OLB

I hope we draft a RT prospect, more so than any other position on the O-line, in one of our top 3 picks (rounds 2-4).

However, I don’t want a guy that was a LT that moves to the right or anything like that.

Draft a guy who was a very good RT in college, that played there for a few years at a big school.

No more moving guys around all over the place.

Denver might part ways with RT Ryan Harris, who I think would be a perfect fit for the Raiders’ offensive line. Great ZBS tackle, excellent in pass protection and run blocking.

BTW, I don’t think Wiz will drop to the 3rd RD!! No way!! I’m
Almost willing to bet on it.

*********************************

I’m not willing to bet on it either.

But I always figured him as a late first early second pick. When McShay ranked him as the #105 player that really suprised me.

That would be the 9th pick in the 4th round!!! If he goes in the second round, that would be one of the worst projections McShay has ever done.

I want a blocking FB more than anyone here, but no way would I day that Recce is not a good blocker. I think he is a good Blocker, but he is not great. He also doesn’t overpower the guy he blocks, so it doesn’t look good but he is still effective.
Z Miller can’t Block!
