im an amatuer amatuer scout(read highlights on youtube) but i really liked david wilson. dunno about his pass blocking but he looks beasty. i could see TT movin up to 40-45 if he or nick perry were still available.

on a side note which dl would you guys select in the first if he was available @ 28 who would you pass on? id really like to see dontari poe or kendall reyes. to a lesser degree brockers or cox. does brockers weight gain scream lazy or is it just me?

Good questions. Just in response to the players you mentioned, I don't really talk about David Wilson that much or really the RBs in general just because I don't see that as a major need. But I do think he might fit the best as a RB for us. If you look at this guy's legs they are pretty big and powerful. For a guy that runs a 4.49 with a 41 in. vertical that's impressive to me. I will say this about Wilson though, I wonder if he's got to get more upper body strength. I see him getting dragged down by the arm or shoulder a little too much. But I do like a lot of areas to his game. I wouldn't doubt it if he was high on the Packers radar if indeed they are looking for a RB in the 2nd.

I'm really not too sure if the Packers like Perry. I've been hearing from a lot of people including the guy I think that Nick talked to that Perry seems a lot like a DE. Him gaining weight before the combine at least sent a message to me. Almost as if he was saying he wanted to play DE. I know he still has the "size" to play OLB but I just don't if he'd be good at it.

DL for the guys you mentioned. I don't like Poe. Reyes is alright but rather see if he slips to the 2nd. Cox would be my guy. I really like him after doing more research on him. Brockers to me is just blah. There seems to be too much riding on his potential. If he doesn't reach that potential I just see him as a fat slob in the middle. So Cox is my guy. I like Wynn has well but obviously later in the draft and Poe is my hell no guy.

For those that didn't see I put a transcript of some of the highlights in regards to the chat in the NFL Draft Discussion Thread. Some nice comments in there for ya'll to catch.

I think it's all hype. He played against poor competition and didn't do a lot. Goes to the combine and all of a sudden he's a top 10 pick? We need a guy that can contribute right now and make a difference, Poe isn't that guy.

I think most had him pegged as a 2nd rounder before that, but in hindsight after hearing all the comments, it was obvious nobody has really seen the tape. I remember that guy on here yelling at me about how he had the most violent hands and this and that movement skills when I had watched a game and saw jack ****.

The xtra weight on perry is all a clever ruse orchestrated by TT, A-rod and cm3 to make perry less attractive to other teams so that we can land anther blue chip USC stud. ^.~
