hope I post this right, while trying to get the above image out of my head, but I've read from 2 different sources that we don't like Alexander out of Clemson.  He might not even be on our draft board.

Guy seems like a turd.  Not surprised and actually very happy to hear.

Alexander doesn't have the size we like....

but he is going to be a beast

forced to trade-up in Round 2 to get one of the three remaining CBs available (MacKenzie Alexander, Xavien Howard, Kendall Fuller), I will simply assume we will stay put

I'm not sure those are the only good CBs available.

This CB class seems quite deep.  What about players like Harlan Miller, Cyrus Jones, Zach Sanchez, Deiondre Hall?  I'm sure I'm forgetting a few....  Personally I think there are some good CBs likely to be found in rounds 3 and even 4 or 5.  So I'm not so stressed about grabbing a CB tonight.

I'd rather see us get either a very good offensive talent (Shepard or one of the Henrys, for instance) a very solid safety (Cravens?) or a pass-rushing DE.  Those are the positions I think have the best value in the 2nd...

[Sorry, I quoted you and commented too soon.  I realize by the players you then go on to mention as round 3 prospects that we're basically on the same page.  Sorry... sleep deprivation has me very tired given the 5 hour time difference which had me up from 12 - 2 a.m. my time to try and follow the draft last night (I confess I fell asleep before the Panthers picked and only woke up at 5 again after our pick was long done...).  So ... feel free to ignore my comment.]

I listed Miller, Jones and Sanchez as options in the 3rd round... Did you only read my 2nd round options?

Yeah, sorry.  I jumped the gun.  I sort of zoned out while reading your comment.  Just gave you pie.  Agree with all you wrote.  Sorry, just too tired.  Need to get some sleep soon if I'm going to follow any of tonight's draft or the Hornets game.  It really is tough being 5 hours later than the East Coast right now....

I know it seems like a reach, but Harlan Miller could  be the pick. 

Jeremy Cash SS is also a possibility. 

If we trade up, a WR like Michael Thomas or Sterling Shepherd could be the reason.

They are--to me, there were 2 elite CBs and there are about 12 in the "above average category, depending on what you need.  We need a starter,  but I think it is also a time to maybe grab depth too.

I think we are going to draft either a WR, DE, or SS in the second, a CB in the third--based on where I expect value to be.  Today is going to be the fun day....

He won't make it to our pick though. Unless other teams reach some more...

Yeah. And I don't see DG moving up to grab a saftey

I don't see it. I hope fans don't put that kind of pressure and expectation on him right away. 

 

He reminds me more of Hines Ward more than anyone. 

Hines Ward...have to disagree there.  Faster, shifter than Ward.  Very competitive like SS so I agree there.  Shepard will be very good.

YOu are thinking of old hines ward, not rookie hines ward. 

[Shocker]

LOL, ok thanks for letting me know what I'm thinking.  He is not like any Hines Ward.
