Locker, Ponder, Dolton, or Mallet in the 3rd?

[jtnc]

rumors about mallett being addicted to coke have me a little... leery, especially since a bunch of people "in the know" have said there are huge huge huge issues with him that they dont want to go public with.

Locker in the third... would be kind of surprising...

Also he doesn't look cool under pressure. He's had tantrums before.

I also have concerns with him on the field, but to be honest, it would pale in comparison to the character issues if they are true.

I agree completely.

On a different note, the whole "he has off field issues, but we won't say what" thing from the media has struck me very odd. I cannot recall one other instance of someone having such widespread character based allegations, without anyone outright confirming it. That said, I have no reason to doubt them either. The whole situation is kind of fascinating.

[mav1234]

it's kinda sad, because it's either an insane campaign of character assassination or Mallett is one terrible kid.

Are we getting two 3rd round picks? the op said something about getting a pick from peppers? can anyone confirm this?

[Stumpy]

Yes we will get a compensatory pick for Peppers, and possibly for Vincent. What round depends on a lot of factors, including individual stats and playing time. Most analysts assume the pick for Peppers will be a 3rd and if we get anything at all for Vincent, it will be a 7th at most.

[frash.exe]

we will definitely get a 3rd for Peppers, he was the highest paid free agent last offseason

it will be at the end of the third, and no, before anyone suggests, we can't trade it since it is compensatory

Oh, that's interesting.. I wonder why the walterfootball mock draft has us as only picking one in the third.. maybe its because of the uncertainty of what round the pick will be in that you mentioned.

I don't think you can depend on the third round being predictable at this point. After the first day, everything get reshuffled based on who has dropped and who was a riser. Teams have the night to go back and evaluate things unlike before when they the third round happened in the first day.

As for picking a third rounder. I suppose it would have to do with how much they like Pike at this point. He would be the one on the short end of the stick if thats the way we go.

exactly the reason, we will get it in March but the chance of it not being a 3rd rounder are like 0.0000001%.... literally.

[jtnc]

Any good WR's that may be available in 3rd?

[mick eye]

Why in the world would we pick a QB in the third? What if's about this jacked up QB class is silly. Going by a mock draft website if Jurrell Casey, Allen Bailey, Jarvis Jenkins, Ras I Dowling and Sione Fua are still available i am very happy. Give me Mebane or Cofield plus any of the aforementioned prospects at the top of the third.

Yes it will be a 3rd. Just wanted to give a little insight into what goes into the assignments of comp picks.

Any good WR's that may be available in 3rd?

Jerrel Jernigan, WR/KR, Troy 5-9 - 189 - 4.39

Randall Cobb, WR/PR, KEN 5-11 - 188 - 4.43

Tandon Doss, WR, IND - 6-3 - 199 - 4.52

Austin Pettis, WR, BSU - 6-3 - 205 - 4.56

Dwayne Harris, WR/KR, ECU - 5-10 - 200 - 4.52

Vincent Brown, WR, SDSU - 5-11 - 184 - 4.50

Greg Little, WR, UNC - 6-2 - 220 - 4.55

Cecil Shorts III, WR, MUSU - 6-0 - 200 - 4.45

Greg Salas, WR, HA - 6-1 - 206 - 4.60

[Stumpy]

That said, I see no reason to draft a WR in the 3rd. The only recievers in the draft I would consider would be AJG, J. Jones and T Smith. All of which will be 1st round picks. IMO we don't address WR in the draft this year.
