Wouldn't go that far. He seems to have matured since getting kicked off SC's team. Ellis is a true NT and a steal for any team in need of a 3-4 NT; he's visited w/ us so we have some interest. As did Little (WR, UNC), who could've gone earlier had he played in '10. Little or any (WR) becomes a more likely pick at #49 if we take a QB (Kaepernick or Mallet), and Little 6'3 230 has great hands, decent speed (not a burner), tough to tackle, reminds me of a poor man's Boldin; a big possesion WR opposite Armstrong.

#41 QB (Kaepernick, Mallet)
#49 WR Greg Little or trade down

@ Ruhskins:

"In the spring of 2008, however, the Gamecocks first suspended Ellis for the first three games of the following season then dismissed him for repeated violations of team policy (reportedly due to multiple failed drug tests)."

When I said Ellis was a Haynesworth 2.0, I was referring to attitude. He has red flags all over his profile.

Gotcha. Yeah I dunno if I'd go with Ellis if character is a big concern.. Although, Paea's knee issue scares me a bit, you don't want a big guy with knee problems.

I believe he's turned things around since then...but let's see if his agent has time to come back on here and address these issues himself

Paea reminds me of slightly smaller Casey Hampton. I like it.

We drafted a LB in Round 1.

The draft is a way to gain assets. However, successful acquisition of said assets is haphazard and can only be partially controlled. If there's another nice depth pass-rusher they just love, they'll take him.

Not only that, but our ILB situation is in a precarious position depth-wish.

Anyway, I was just throwing stuff and the wall and seeing if it sticks, because I have no faith in mocks predicting picks outside of the top 5 or so of the draft.

#41 - Marvin Austin - DT .. (perhaps due to the UNC BS losing half there team to stupid NCAA rules we all forget .. this dude is a straight MONSTER and would be ideal in the 3-4)

#49 - Ryan Mallet - QB .. Slips all the way to us at #49
OR
#49 - Ryan Williams - RB ..
or
#49 - Hankderson - WR .. ( i think he will be gone in first 10 pcks of 2nd round though)

I'd like any of those

[GTripp0012]

Mallett will be there when we pick at #41...and probably #49. But I've never viewed him as a scheme fit for this offense. I would imagine that Stanzi is higher on our board...the only QB who will get real consideration from the Redskins at #49.

[Son Of Man]

Paea at #41

Greg Little at #49 (or trade)

After last night, I trust the FO to do what's right here on out.

[SirClintonPortis]

Ryan Leaf failed because, according to him, "When playing football became a job, it lost its luster for me."
Essentially, he hated his job, just like the workers in the movie Office Space.

[redsk1]

Shanahan will gamble a little in the mid rounds...see Maurice Clarett. I don't think we'll draft Mallet though.

2011 NFL draft: Cincinnati Bengals wanted Green Bay Packers' Round 1 pick, sources say - ESPN

Dalton may not be there.
