    LOL @ the Rueben Randle picks.

    If we take that guy, I'll eat my mouse.

    Yeah, the fact that Peter King has us taking him pretty much tells me everything I need to know. He's the John McClain of the national media. A fat blowhard who claims to have all these inside sources, but in reality, he just throws out a bunch of opinions, and claims them as fact.

    He probably would be the best blocking WR in the crop of first round projections and most resembles AJ. He was a stud out of high school that never had a good QB.

    Could happen if the braintrust sees him as AJ2. Certainly could happen if he fell to 58

    I'm not advocating for him, I just think your risking indigestion. If they like him, they like him.

    To tally that:

    Reuben Randle WR, 6
    Kendall Wright WR, 6
    Stephen Hill WR, 5
    Jonathan Martin T, 4
    Cordy Glenn G/T, 4
    Whitney Mercilus DE/OLB, 3
    Coby Fleener TE, 3
    Kevin Zietler G, 2
    Courtney Upshaw DE/OLB, 2
    Riley Reiff T, 1
    Nick Perry DE/OLB, 1
    Chandler Jones DE, 1

    In other words, no one has a damn clue.

    The clue may be that the Texans are looking hard at WR and OT in the first two rounds.

    So we're most likely to draft Kendall Wright or Rueben Randle. Eh...

    Followed by Cordy Glenn or Jonathan Martin.

    Followed by Coby Fleener and Whitney Mercilus.

    Followed by Courtney Upshaw and Kevin Zeitler.

    Followed by Bruce Irvin, Chandler Jones, Nick Perry, or Riley Reiff.

    All that tells me is that Cordy Glenn will NOT be the selection

    If I had to pick right now...sigh,....Johnathon Martin - Played in a ZBS-esque type scheme. was the main protection for luck. Better refinement/technique than nearly all OT/G available. Can play the run block very well, has longer arms than Winston. (can't be worse in pass protection) Good size. The one I am eager for & really want in the 2nd rd. is that big NT, Ta'amu - Incredible combo. of motor, strength, size, and speed ...

    People wanna bring up his 40 time but it comes down to football insticts. You either have it or you don't and he seems to have it by all accounts.

    Btw, he supposedly came in heavy. As someone that is his FB friend, I don't see it. He posts pics of himself all the time without a shirt :eek: :grin:

    Upshaw won't be there.

    But based on this, if he is there... my sources tell me they take Mercilus from Illinois.
