Bass to center and Teague to LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 What about that guard from Alabama? Supposed to be a mauler, unreal 40 time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Elton Brown, though I doubt very much he'll be around when our pick comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 What about that guard from Alabama? Supposed to be a mauler, unreal 40 time. 278577[/snapback] If you're referring to Evan Mathis, he's hardly a mauler. He's barely over 300lbs (played around 290 last year, I think) and is not known for being a powerful drive blocker. He does have very good athleticism and won't back down from anyone. I think he'll be around at the 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Give it up. TD is drafting Nugent in round 2 and a deep snapper with 2 broken hands in round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Elton Brown, though I doubt very much he'll be around when our pick comes up. 278580[/snapback] I'm sure he will be gone. I wouldn't be surprised if the B'gals, after signing DT Robinson from MIA, aren't thinking about a replacement for the aging Rich Brabham and Willie Anderson, reducing the field.

He is 6'5", so he should be able to add to his frame. 278587[/snapback] I've seen him listed anywhere from 295-304. He still isn't that big. I do think he can add more bulk, but I would hope that if we draft an interior lineman, we draft one who already has bulk, decent footwork/athleticism, and a nasty attitude. Chris Kemoeatu of Utah fits that bill, and could also be available in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I was advocating for Marc us Johnson earlier, but looking at combine results I have to wonder if he could play left tackle. He's SLOW! There are several others that I think will be around in the third round and little that will be a good value in round two. In any case, that pick will probably be a starter in 2006 rather than 2005.

Alaska Darin Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Damn straight, except we will not get the long snapper....he will be picked before our 3rd round pick. 278640[/snapback] Then we should trade up! Surely the Dolphins will take Travis Henry and our 3rd rounder for Jason Taylor, their third, and a #1 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wing Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Since we have not signed any free agents so far, I have to believe that TD and Co will be looking hard and fast at offensive linemen in Round 2. Remember that we actually have lost a total of 3 linemen from last year - Jennings, Price, and the Pucillo Auto Mall. Yet we have only replaced one of them - by adding Gandy. I think TD will have the "luxury" of going with the "best available offensive linemen" in Round 2 since, in theory, we have Teague and Gandy who can play several positions on the line. My choice would be to go with a true center and really add some more bulk to the interior of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably be developed and used as a reserve. So really I see only one more signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me might have to throw in MWilliams to even out the numbers. Oh, and we keep our #1 for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
