[QUOTE="DCEBB2011, post: 312301, member: 3200"] This year's draft is going to be DEEP at a 2 key positions: 1. OT - If the draft was held today, there could be as many as 5 SENIOR OTs taken in the first round. That's right folks, 5 SENIORS in the first round BEFORE the juniors even come out! They consist of Sherrod, Solder, Carimi, Castonzo, and Love. 2. DE - As of today there could be as many as 5 senior DEs with first round talent going in the first round as well. They are Clayborn, Jordan, Kerrigan, Heyward, and Bailey. All but Kerrigan have the size ( over 285lbs ) and speed ( not one is over an estimated 4.92 in the 40 yard dash ) to play DE in the 3-4 defense. Now I know you all are saying "Why does this matter since a bunch of juniors will come out and bump some of these guys down anyway?" Well it matters because you could get potential first round talent in the 2nd and 3rd round at these 2 positions! So if a guy grades out as a first round prospect but falls to the 2nd round, he could be a gem. Case in point: Bryan Bulaga. Last season we had him at #10 on the overall board, but because we got him at 23, we made a big jump in value and got the most for our pick. THAT, my friends, is how you have successful drafts. So look at OT and DE this season as strong points where a steal could be found late in the first or even in the 2nd round. [/QUOTE]
