For NT, I'd rather sign Casey Hampton and draft a developmental guy later.

Lol This game is going to get out of hand QUICK
Would you guys be pissed if they took Tyler Eiffert in round 1?
I wouldn't be stoked simply because we don't necessarily "need" a TE, but there is a real possibility that Eiffert could be the best player available and we do know that Ozzie really wanted Gronkowski a couple of years ago. Dont get me wrong, I think Pitta is great...but Eiffert literally could be a Rob Gronkowski type of TE whereas I see Pitta as a guy like Jacob Tamme. Solid, but isn't someone who will take over a game.
Eiffert is 6'6" and every bit of 250-255lbs.
Notre Dame's gameplan is absolutely horrible.
Yes, Alabama's defense is very good... but you have a redshirt freshman QB who clearly isn't very confident yet, and you're going to try to beat Alabama's best CB in man coverage every down?
What in the world are they doing? Run the ball, get some easy completions... just stupid, trying to outsmart themselves....
Yup.
Last time I can remember a college team having this much high end talent were those Miami teams of the early 2000's.
This Notre Dame team has a lot of NFL talent on it too...and there is still a huge talent disparity here.
I've watched Bama at least 5 times this year...I don't know why today looking at all this talent seems different. Maybe it's because I'm shocked at the ease with which they are dominating, but this is very impressive.
I don't know why everyone says that AJ McCarron is a "game manager" (not that game manager is really a negative connotation...ALL QB's need to be able to manage a game well).
McCarron looks good rolling out, throwing on the run, he's got a nice arm on him, and he seems pretty accurate. Granted, it really helps having that OL in front of him, but he looks good. I could see McCarron being a 2nd rounder.
This game is over
McCarron is on the fucking money.
He's a RS Junior. With this performance, I could see him pushing his stock up into the 2nd round if he comes out this year.
I don't know about pissed... it would shock me, but I wouldn't be pissed. Eifert is an amazing prospect. I don't think he's quite the prospect Gronkowski was but he's similar. It's pretty much never the wrong idea to add a serious offensive weapon... just look at Bernard Pierce. A lot of people didn't understand the pick because we had Rice but this is a league where you never have enough weapons. Now we've got 2 devastating RBs. Why not 2 devastating TEs?
Honestly, it's an intriguing idea. I would be cool with it if they were going to commit to a 2TE offense every down. Pitta is too good to take off the field, so you would probably be lining Eifert up inline with Pitta moving all around (in the slot, at H-back, etc.) if Eifert continues to improve as a blocker it's a really nice fit. They'd likely be cutting Leach in the offseason if they move in that direction.
The Texans have shown that you can line up in a base 2TE offense and run the ball just as well as you pass.
