La Canfora has Claiborne falling to us

First we want Coples, switched to Brockers, switched to Poe, now Claiborne. Who's next....Olympia Dukakis?

Agreed.... for where we are picking at there are too many options. If the Rams are serious about trading the #2 pick, then it looks like Luck, RGIII, Kalil, Richardson go 1-4, and after that it gets kinda murkey. Claiborne, Kalil, Reiff, and Blackmon make the most sense for us, but after their respective pro-days, I don't see any of them dropping to #9. That being said, if Claiborne is there at 9, I think we run, not walk to the podium for that selection.

If it's the one he just did on NFLN, I just don't see Seattle trading up above us for Tannehill. But he is more connected than myself... I just don't think that's gonna happen.

If it does, awesome.

Also, I do NOT see Tampa taking Blackmon over Claiborne. They still have two young WRs that are a year removed from awesome seasons. I think they give them another year, plus, they're adding Manningham in FA. Why would they take Blackmon?

Ronde Barber is 208 years old.

We need a CB, so if Claiborne is there, we take him. If Blackmon drops to us, we trade back and pick up Poe in the teens. JMO.

happy with MC here

Coples will be gone

Brockers looks good too, and Poe is blowing peoples minds with that 40

the safe statement is that there seems to be enough talent in this draft to equate to us getting a good player.

So now the hard part comes. When there are several pieces that will work, the puzzle master must find the one true match out of the handful of options. Good luck Marty.

No way Claiborne falls to us. No way. Walterfootball had the same scenario and they both include some head-scratching moves in the first 8 picks that almost certainly won't happen.

Bucs will take Claiborne. They hired his DB's coach from LSU. Claiborne will be the hands-down BPA at 5th overall. And even if by some miracle the Bucs don't take him, the Jaguars would in a second.

I think it depends on how Hurney and Rivera think Hogan is coming along. If Hogan is the starter than Claiborne isn't as critical. If Hogan isn't a lock then Claiborne is definitely at a position of need especially if Tampa takes Blackmon. It also depends on whether Hurney and Rivera think we are okay at DT/DE this year or really want to solidify that position. He could definitely help us more than Poe would in 2012. Down the road, things even up more.

I don't think Claiborne is there though. But if he were, you have to look hard at him. The thing about Poe is that he brings something to the team we just don't have. A kris Jenkins type tackle who has been sorely missed. Plus I think that Rivera believes that a great pass rush is more important than a great secondary.

Glad I don't have to make those choices.

I agree that I think there is NO WAY that Tampa does not take Claiborne.

Will sign Manningham as a FA....takes WR off the list.

Although Richardson is an absolute stud, it has been shwon that quality backs can be found in later rounds and FA.

They desperately need DB.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
