I have to disagree with you about this Big Board. I think this guy is just acting like a contrarian while hoping to get lucky and show everyone how smart he (thinks he) is.

For goodness sakes, he doesn't even have Gregory in his top 32. That is downright ridiculous. Most true experts have Gregory in their top 5. The only reason he gives is that Gregory lacks strength. Well, he may lack strength now but he's going to get bigger and stronger as a pro because he has the frame for it. Also, you can't teach length or speed. Plus Gregory possesses rare athleticism and football instincts. He's going to be a star, IMO.

I know you like Beasley, and he was an outstanding college player, but I think that he is just too small to be effective as an edge rusher in the NFL. On the other hand, there is a lot of room for debate on Shane Ray vs. Gregory. I think both of them will be good pros.

OK, I get Winston at #1 on his board but he failed to mention Winston's wind-up delivery which will hurt him as a pro or to give proper consideration to Winston's immaturity.

I can also see some of his issues with Mariotta, but I can't imagine him falling as far as this guy thinks he should.

What his board does reinforce in my mind is the idea that we could trade down and get a very good OL in the 10-15 range. Then, if we wanted to do so, we could either trade back up into the first round for another very good player or simply stay put and use our two second round picks.
