Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I don't think Sean Renfree is going to be drafted, but he would definitely be a very high priority UDFA for me. As you said, you gotta like that he was coached by the same guy who developed the Manning brothers. I haven't really watched any Duke games but he's got good measurables... don't like all the INTs though.
Conner Vernon is a good player. I would like to get him in the 5th round, hopefully we'll have a number of compensatory picks this year to pile up the mid-round guys...
Speaking of mid-round wide receivers, would you guys take a chance on Marquess Wilson in the 4th or 5th round? A lot of people are scared off of him because of what happened with the coaching staff in Washington State, but honestly Mike Leach is such a scumbag that I wouldn't want to play for him either... not sure how much I'd hold that against him... think Wilson could be a really good fit for a lot of NFL offenses.

Does anybody know much about TJ Johnson out of South Carolina? Big mauling center, but he doesn't really seem to get much coverage? I thought he'd be at least a mid round prospect by this year...

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
My issue with Wilson is that he is a bean pole.
Now, Randy Moss was a very lean 6'4" 205lb receiver...Wilson is about 25lbs lighter than that. He is VERY skinny.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Right, thanks for that. Bearing in mind that he's coming up against more talented teams and players in the SEC. I'm still a big fan of Federick being a Wisconsin guy primarily, but I'm not sure if he's a good fit at all if we want to go all in on the ZBS. Mario Benevides would be better for that.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
He is definitely crazy thin, but he has the frame to put on weight at the NFL level. Like a lot of other talented college WRs, the coaches don't ask them to really hit the weight room hard at all. He has the kind of body control and ball tracking skills that you really can't teach... I'd rather have a guy with those skills who needs a year in the strength and conditioning program than a jacked up guy who doesn't understand the mechanics of the WR position.
Just go back and look at Devin Thomas and Limas Sweed... 2 of everybody's favorite WRs from the 08 draft, both of them were Combine/weight room heroes, neither one of them panned out at WR cause they were used to outmuscling everybody at the college level and had no technique and no real skillset.
Wilson also has never been injured in college IIRC despite making a lot of catches in traffic.
Not necessarily saying I want a Philip Rivers/Tom Brady kind of "rah rah" guy if we choose to go in a different direction at QB, but as much as I mocked people in the past for pointing out Flacco's quiet demeanor/lack of "leadership," it was really hard to watch him strolling the sidelines on Sunday and sitting on the bench by himself... looking disinterested and like nothing was going on at all... I don't question a guy's mental state but he certainly was not showing the outward signs you expect a truly competitive guy to show.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Mid round WRs that I like: Mississippi State's Chad Bumphis, Tennessee's Zach Rogers and SMU's Darius Johnson.
I'll have a higher valued WR in at least one version of my January mock.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Bumphis is intriguing.
I like Emory Blake out of Auburn, Markus Wheaton out of Oregon State, and possibly Roy Roundtree out of Michigan. I think Roundtree is pretty underrated as a receiver. He never had a real QB to throw him the ball and was always in a gadget offense.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
