Around SBN: So Let's Talk About Hulk Too, I Suppose

It's an obvious longshot, but decided to lay out the dream draft scenerio

Ok, I know no one really beleives this going to happen but I thought I'd try to lay out an argument as to how both DeCastro and Richardon could fall to us in the first round.

Round 1

1. Colts - QB Andrew Luck, consensus #1 pick over all.

2. Redskins - via trade with the Rams will take QB RG3, and finally address the QB situation

3. Vikings - T Matt Kalil - Need someone to protect Ponder for years to come and open up holes for AP, assuming he can come back healthy.

4. Browns - WR Justin Blackman - Trent Richardson is a possibillity here but they just drafted Montario Hardesty in the 2nd round last year and they have too many other needs to be able waste a pick on a RB in the top 5. Regardless of what the Browns decide to do at QB they are going to need to add some weapons and playmakers on the outside. Justin Blackman may not be a burner but he is a physical specimen who is worthy of being a top 10 pick. After watching the success that there division rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals had with WR AJ Green last year, I believe the Browns will follow suit and jump on Blackman with the #4 pick.

5. Tampa Bay - CB Morris Claiborne - Best CB in the draft and with Ronde Barber most likley done they are going to need to address the secondary.

6. Rams via trade from Washington - T Reiley Reiff - They need to be able to protect Bradford and keep him healthy if they are going to be have any chance to compete.

7. Jacksonsville - WR Michael Floyd - MJD is a stud and if Blaine Garbard is going to have a chance to suceed they need to give him some weapons on the outside. Floyd is a big and physical WR who could really help in Gabards development

8. Miami - DT Quinton Couples - Dolphins missed out on the top 2 QB's so they will have to wait for Matt Barkley or one of the other top guys to come out next year. Jason Taylor is also retiring, therefore they will be looking for another playmaker on the defensive side of the ball as well.

9. Panthers - DT Devon Still - They got Cam last year but there defense is otrocious and like the Lions before them, if they want to rise up to be a playoff contender they will need to start by improving up front with the number 1 rated defensive tackle on the board

10. Bills - OLB Melvin Ingram - They have a nice young nucleus on offense but need to get more athletitc and add another playmaker on the defensive side of the ball.

11. Kansas City - T - Johnathon Martin - They will not be able to pass up on him here, I know some are projecting Trent Richardson but they already have 2 RB's they've invested in and this is a trmendous value pick that can really help the team immediately

12. Seattle - DE Nick Perry - Seahawks need a pass rusher badly, Pete Carrol recruited him to USC and now will draft him the first round

13. Arizona - WR Kendall Wright - The cardinals defense is young and getting better. They invested a fortune in Kobb and now will have to do everything they can to give him a chance to succeed. Adding Kendall Wright (whose flying up draft boards) to play opposite of Larry Fitzgerald will give Kevin Kobb his best chance to succeed.

14. Dallas - CB - Dre Kirkpatric - They desperately need help in the secondary, both at corners and safety. They could also use interrior line help but the secondary is a bigger concern that needs to be addressed. The will have hit the jackpot with Kirkpatric still available at this point.

15. Eagles - ILB - Luke Kuechly, Everyone saw how the LB's performed to start the season, the Eagles will be fortunate to land the best ILB at this point in the draft

16. Jets - SS - Mark Barron - Trent Richardson is a definte possibility here as well but Shon Green is still young and it was really the defense that underperformed this year. Rex Ryan being a defensive oriented coach will do everything in his power to fix the defense by adding another potential playmaker to the mix.

17. Bengals - G - David DeCastro - BENGALS FANS ARE SO HAPPY!!!!

18. San Diego - TE -Dwayne Allen - Antonio Gates is getting old and can't seem to stay healthy. After watching what the Pats were able to do with an all pro QB and two stud TE's they won't be able to resist taking the best receiving TE in the draft

19. Chicago - CB - Alphonso Denard - The Bears need to get Cutler healthy and they need to upgrade there secondary, next best CB available is Denard so they will take him here.

20. Tennessee - DT Fletcher Cox - Tennessee just signed a huge deal this last off seson for Chris Johnson, therefore they will not be in the market for aother RB, and I can see them going defensive here with a stud defesive tackle.

21. Bengals - RB - Trent Richardson - ONCE AGAIN BENGALS FANS ARE HAPPY!!!!!

Well there you have it.

Again, I don't see this happening but wanted to try and make a case as to how it could potentially happen when you take into consideration guards and RB's are ussually valued less in the top half of the first round.

That would be nice as well

Although, I’d still prefer DeCastro and Richardson

i can see that happing. I think there will be two or three teams in the hunt to trade up because of the browns

no way the browns let go of getting RG3. I bet Holmgren is licking his chops for RG3 to drop to them. But I know washington would be the front runner to trade up for him. Plus I have an feeling there are a few other teams that would consider trading up for the right price.

Since this is a draft post I'll put this here

Most surprising declaration so far imo

Darron Thomas

He’s projected rounds 5 – 7 (if drafted at all) by Walter Football and may only be a WR in the NFL

If he doesn't think he'll move up the boards...

he’s making the right call. He takes hits in that Oregon offense. He should just get out and get paid.

you take richardson with the 17th...decastro will still be there at 21

Otherwise Richardson won’t last till 21

What do you do when there's no way out? Find a way to get deeper in it.

by jimbasa on Jan 16, 2012 8:55 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

Diagree completely

Richardson is more likely to be there at 21 than DeCastro. The teams behind us all already have solid runningbacks

SD – Ryan mathews
Chicago – Matt Forte
Tenn – Chris Johnson

by biggie22 on Jan 16, 2012 11:48 AM EST up reply actions  

You are basing your theory on need only, value is even more important in the 1st round.

Richardson is regarded as probably the 3rd best player OVERALL. If he gets to 17 it will be a miracle, let alone 21. If we does drop to 17 and we don’t grab him, Chicago might want to draft him and let Forte go or any other team can trade up to draft him before us, knowing that we would snatch him. So if Richardson falls at 17, we better take him. If Decastro isn’t there at 21 then you take Glenn or Konz.

Obviously he is going to have less value for a team that does not need a RB

You have to take both value and need into consideration. RB’s are already devalued in the first round of the draft and if there’s not a need they will be devalued even more. A team trading up may be a possibilty but other than that I think if he drops to 17 he will most definitely drop to 21 as well, and he’s especially more likely to drop to 21 than DeCastro would be

by biggie22 on Jan 16, 2012 2:03 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree

But free agency will take place long before the draft and we will know if Forte is with the Bears or not by then.

by EPK1979 on Jan 17, 2012 1:35 AM EST up reply actions  

+1 Agree

Texans and Chicago need interior Line they wouldn’t pass up Decastro

This is fun to discuss but without prodays and the combine it is hard to say

who’s stock is going to rise of fall. As long as we upgrade significantly one or preferabl both G positions I will be happy. I watched some video of Richardson (as I said before I am not a big follower of college football) he seems like the real deal – but these vids always just show his good stuff – not his average play ability. As for the Browns, IMO, they should trade back and try to get another 2nd round pick. They have so many holes to fill. Their Oline is no better than ours with only two solid players at LT and C and McCoy has nobody who really can make a play even when he has time to throw and Hillis, who is probably their best offensive weapon will probably not be back.

Speaking of the Browns

Anyone else think this is a team that keeps moving laterally? Here’s my point, they get rid of Shaun Rogers, They replace him with Phil Taylor. They likely get rid of Peyton Hillis, they replace him with Richardson… Maybe both these guys are long term upgrades, but if they keep ditching their decent players and replacing them with maybes (as all draft picks are), they’ll never make any progress

by The Dealio on Jan 16, 2012 9:41 PM EST up reply actions  

of course...

the Bengals do the same thing (ala Johnathon Joseph)

by The Dealio on Jan 16, 2012 9:44 PM EST up reply actions  

Richardson at 21

If Forte re-signs with Chicago, there is little reason that Richardson won’t be there at 21 if he is not at 17. SD just drafted Matthews, and Tenn just re-signed Johnson.

From what I hear of miller,

he might turn out to be just as good… I wouldn’t mind seeing him in stripes either
