Yeah I kind of felt the same way. I'm debating who to take in this Mock with our 3rd Rd Pick. Its a Tricky choice. There are a couple of good Running Backs on the board. a DT and a DE, as well as several safeties, and LInebackers. I'm not sure LB is a 3rd Round need so I'm not leaning that diection right now. Running Back could be an option. but do I go with a guy that went to a smaller school but had phenomenal numbers despite being the key part of their offenses (matt forte, Tulane, Kevin Smith, UCF) or a guy who played in a tougher Conference like Ray Rice or Tashard Choice. In Rice's case his Height and weight concern me a lot. Choice is taller than rice. There is still the possibility I could wait on a back too:
Matt Forte, Tulane Height: 6-1 Weight: 217 Time: 4.46
*Ray Rice, Rutgers Height: 5-8 Weight: 199 Time: 4.44
*Tashard Choice, Ga Tech Height: 5-10 Weight: 215 Time: 4.54
Kevin Smith, Central Florida Height: 6-1 WeightL 217 Time: 4.43
Also considering Offensive Center:
Steve Justice, Wake Forest Height: 6-3 Weight: 293 Time: 5.22
who is there at our pick right now.
Its kind of down to EIther Steve Justice one of these Dlineman (I'm leaning toward the DT cause they are harder to find and we did just lose Corey Williams)
Defensive Ends:
Chris Harrington, Texas A&M Height: 6-4 WeightL: 264, Time: 4.89
Brian Johnson, Garner-Webb Height: 6-5, Weight: 276 Time: 4.66
Defensive Tackles:
Marcus Harrison: Arkansas Height: 317, Weight: 317 Time: 5.02
I've got about an hour to make up my mind. FYI I've already picked the following:
# 1st Round: #30 - Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
# 2nd Round: #56 - Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
# 2nd Round: #60 - John Greco, OT, Toledo
I took Greco cause I felt his ability to play both OT and Tackle will really come in handy. Not sure I like the idea of drafting Oline Two picks in a row, but we were hurt at Center Last year. Decisions Decisions :/
