2012 NFL Draft Day 3

[JoeRedskin]

First - I am good with drafting depth and developmental guys. I disagree that Jackson and White lack talent - I thought they flashed well when playing. It is b/c we have young depth at the OLB position that I wonder going for even more of it when we could certainly use some youth & developmental players at the ILB position. If this guy is going for ILB - fine. Just seems a little light for the job. A real project - even more so than Riley.

BUT, again, after last year's draft, I am willing to cut the FO a lot of slack.

every scouting report ive read has said hes very athletic and fast.

They certainly did this time. Fantastic draft from the birds.

Haslett already told Keenan Robinson he'll play ILB. He also played with Rak and they still train from time to time. I think it's a really good fit.

Are you saying "I have seen the reports that indicate that Haslett has said he will play inside" OR "I am betting that Haslett has aready told him he is going to be playing inside."

Yeah hes playing ILB, but if he has the athleticism to play a little olb thats good. A 4th round LB is gonna be asked to play teams and know multiple positions. I would have preferred a cb or a lineman but i like this pick.

If he was drafted to play inside, It looks a lot better.

Mosley just went to Giants

No, Keenan Robinson said Jim Haslett told him that he'll play ILB. Robinson told reporters this via conference call today.

Texans know how to draft...Jared Crick, beast.

The thing about Kirk Cousins this year that a decent of people don't seem to understand. He's this years Leonard Hankerson. Very talented prospect that went two round later then they should have. Incredible value especially when you consider the fact that you don't have to worry about developing him to be the guy for at least 3 years and thats only as a worst case scenario that won't happen.

Obviously I'm not an NFL scout but in terms of QB's Cousins was probably my favorite second tier QB and my top choice if we missed out on RG3.

For me it was

1a. Luck
1b. RG3
3. Cousins
4. Weeden
5. Tannehill
6. Moore
7. Brock Osweiler

6'3 -242 lbs. -4.79 40 yd - 10feet broad jump -35.5 inch vertical leap -27 reps 225 lb bench press. 3 year starter at Texas - a leader- he should be fine if he stays close to Fletcher to learn and improve on his weaknesses.

35.5" vertical/ 225 lbs. 27 reps - wow.

I like the way he takes on blocks and fights through coverage but again we're getting to the point in the draft where you're mostly going to find special teamers and the like.

When I see the FO take an OL or a RB I feel confident that said player will be able to perform but every other position is a toss up.

Well yeah, but I think the only position on the field that we are probably ok at depth wise is OLB and now QB. If he's inside, that makes a ton more sense to me. Even if he's playing small, I don't care, He can still be good especially on 3rd downs in coverage.
