You guys r just giving up on this kid ? He was projected as the number 1 pick.. What if he stays healthy for 4-5 years? Just saying

There's the rub. If you get 4 years out of him then he might be worth a later round flier. But if he is never going to see the field then they might as well draft me.

That's what free agency is for

You'd really be happy with a 4-5 year career?

With as many needs as we have, I don't think we can gamble on a guy with a possibly significant medical concern.

It's a shame for Bowers. At one point McShay had him as the #1 overall prospect. That knee injury must be pretty damn serious for this kind of free fall.

IF Paea is there at 41, I'd love it if we snagged him. As far as the 49th pick, I'd be just fine with Kaepernick or Dalton.

I agree. Think about this, Willis McGahee's knee was torn to shreds in the National Championship game, but the Bills still drafted him in the middle of the first. It tells me that this guy's knee issues must have been very serious to send a talent like him free falling.

Agreed, total luxury pick. if i'm New England, i'm all over him though.

What position would he play if we took him? He doesn't have the bulk to play end and we already have addressed the OLB with Kerrigan. It would be superfluous for us to take Bowers.

Also, I like the idea of taking Rodney Hudson over Wisniewski as Hudson is a perfect fit for a zone blocking scheme, he has 47 career starts and can play all three interior line positions. I feel he'd be the better fit, but wouldn't be overly upset with Wisniewski.

I would also argue that apart from selecting a nose tackle, we should be just about done addressing the front seven at this point. I'd be surprised if they take another LB/DE. That's another reason we should pass on Bowers.

O-line, secondary, running back, and wide receiver have to be next on the list of priorities.

Bell must have brought back the luggage when he re-signed with Denver in 2008 after his stint in Detroit.
