Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
They say his size (6-3, 198lbs) would keep him out of the first round, so he won't be a 1st rounder. I would take him in the second round and let him grow into his frame.
It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
When is this fanbase ever patient enough to let someone develop as they need?
People were calling Terry a bust after his rookie year for being unable to play RT (even though he was never going to be able to and we knew that when he was drafted). People are calling Pittman a bust after his rookie year even though he's a small school guy who needs time to learn more complex schemes and coverages and to adjust to a level of football way above what he last played at.
It's all well and good saying 'let him develop' 'let him grow into his frame' but I just don't trust that this fan base will sit and wait on a 2nd round pick.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Whatever QB we take this year sits until '08 unless Mac9 is carted off the field and Boller is carted off the field...well, most likely.
I also like the idea of a DE/LB like Spencer or a RB.
It's a long long time until draft day, lots of things can happen

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
1) Brennan is a really nice player. He definitely has the raw skills, but he will need to learn a pro offense. Not just another Hawaii QB.
2) Peterson at 29, now that is funny. The dude is going to be a top 10 pick.
3) Troy Smith had character issues a long, long time ago. They shouldn't effect his chances today.
4) Can't make a choice based on how you gauge a fanbase. Most popular guy in any football town is the backup QB. QBs need to sit at least one season.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Can someone provide insight into RB-Antonio Pittman, what kind of prospect is he, and where he projects to go.
It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
As with anything right now it's very early but common consensus is round 2 or 3. Solid back, nothing flash.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
All these great comments are true, but I would bet that Irons is not on Ozzie's draft board. He will find something wrong with him. Do a little research - in Ozzie's entire career he has NEVER drafted a player from Auburn. No matter how great the talent (ahem - we took Pittman over Marcus McNeil remember) They will find something wrong with him and find a reason for the Alabama guy not to find anything good coming out of Auburn

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Marcus Mcneil was picked with the 50th overall pick in the 2nd round,while David Pittman was pick 87 in the 3rd round
Ozzie Newsome is employed by the Ravens and his job is to bring in the BEST players regardless of what school they went to,and so far he has done a pretty good job doing so.
I doubt he would let a bias come in to play especially in the first round of the draft.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
I need to clear something up. I originally posted that we would be picking 29th, but that is incorrect.
Our official draft position is 27th with SD at 28. This information comes from draft.com, the official site for the various drafts.
Sorry guys.It's a new season! It's a new day!
