2013 Offseason and Draft

[RedandGold_35]

I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm saying that we shouldn't invest an early draft pick on him.

4th or 5th if he's there?

4th or 5th if he's there?

Yes, absolutely.

[RedandGold_35]

Yes, absolutely.

Works for me.

Sports Illustrated's Josh Sanchez is reporting that NC State junior CB David Amerson will enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
"He is ready to make the move and there isn't much anyone can do to convince him to stay," a source told SI's FanSided. Amerson was exposed this season vertically, failing to show the ability to flip his hips and keep up with receivers downfield. He may end up switching positions to safety or act as a primarily zone corner.

via roto. Think this kid has alot of INTs at the safety position in his future. If there isn't a NT or CB of value when we pick I wouldn't be opposed to drafting this guy.

I'd take him if he was there at the end of the 4th.

Would you rather have him over these safeties?

Kenny Vaccaro
Eric Reid
Tony Jefferson
TJ McDonald

I haven't seen Vaccaro or Jefferson play enough, but I am not impressed with Reid or McDonald from the games I have seen. The transition from CB to S is harder to do and we managed that with Culliver if I remember correctly, so having someone like Amerson who has rare size (6'3, 6'4) and can play both (has played S in highschool so its only a few years removed), especially with the rise of these very large and athletic TEs (Gronk, Hernandez, Davis, Graham, etc), it makes alot of sense to me. He is far from my first choice, but its a very good value pick to me in a worst case scenario if the guys I'd want are gone.

I get the feeling that there will be good safety value in the 2nd-3rd rounds. I'm really hoping that can address the defensive line in the first round...preferably a NT. I'm not sure if Nix will declare, but he would be a great fit in my opinion. If not, maybe take the CB and move up for Jesse Williams in the 2nd round.

I'm with ya, Amerson is still far down my list. There are 4 1st round talent DT/NTs if Nix declares so its hard to imagine one or two still being there for us.

Star Lotulelei and Johnathan Hankins will most likely be gone. Johnathan Jenkins has a pretty good chance at being gone as well. If Louis Nix declares, that will give us a good chance of a top NT being there when we draft. Sylvester Williams is another player to keep an eye on for NT in the first round. I think it would be great if we ended up with one of Jenkins, Nix, or Sylvester Williams in the first round. I want us to go defense heavy in the early rounds. It wouldn't bother me if we took defensive players with our first 4-5 picks. Something like this would be awesome:

1st: Louis Nix, NT Notre Dame (or Sylvester Williams NT North Carolina if Nix doesn't declare)
2nd: Margus Hunt, DE/DT SMU (or Sharrif Floyd, DE/DT Forida if still available)
3rd: Terry Hawthorn, CB Illinois
3rd: Brandon Jenkins, OLB/DE Floriday State
4th: Prentiss Waggner, S/CB Tennessee

I've heard about the Williams kid, didn't know if he was 1st round talent or not at this point. I really think if ND wins the NC then Nix will declare. You know I really like the Hunt kid so I'm with that. Jenkins late 3rd would be nice since he was a 1st round talent at one point. The rest, well I'm not in full draft mode with the season going on so I can't comment. The bad part about picking 32nd is that it feels like we'll have to really hope for some gems dropping to us

Shariff Floyd.... I love that guy!!

[rapjuicer06]

Wonder why

[WhiteSoxGod]

LOL is that sarcasm I wonder Rap? At least I am consistent, you know what you'll get from me.

[rapjuicer06]

Yup, asinine comments. Kind of like the one where you said the Chiefs would win the AFC West and the Bronco's would finish last, and the Jets would win the NFC East because Tebow is there Oh so smart
