Cyrus Kouandjio..... WHY?

[DaveThePanther2008]

Yes, but it is a mock draft. If there was somehow a way to know the team had real interest in him than it's an interesting discussion. However, it's a guy in the media throwing something together to generate content. The answer to your question is that it's just a mock draft plugging a player into a hole we have to fill. They aren't doing serious analysis of every guy and the teams who may take them. 

 

REALLY??? I had no idea.

 

The point wasn't that a mock draft had him going to us is that many think he is a good fit here.  Bonehead mock drafters, Alabama fans and folks that think this guy is going to shine as a LT in the NFL.  

 

You show up at an interview as poorly as he did.  YOU AIN'T getting the job and in his case not getting a first round nod but a good GM.

To add on to what you are saying, I think it is best to look at it like "draft a guy you will have an immediate impact AND someone you see having a successful career." Not someone who can start and be a marginal upgrade for 1 or 2 seasons and then needs to be replaced.

Sometimes the combine can be over rated. You ALWAYS go with the tape over combine numbers. And with that said Cyrus is one of the top OT's in the draft class *if healthy*.

Personally, id prefer Turner out of all the possible LT's we could get. But Cyrus would be next on the list if he stays healthy.

Wow an actual reasonable post regarding this guy. Didn't think that was possible from this board
