I want Aaron Murray

 

[Monster]

Loston Ahmad Dixon and Dion Bailey all still avail at safety...not a bad list.

how has bailey not been drafted yet? any red flags? i've seen him mocked in the 2nd and 3rd round.

So we just pissed away our Bentley 3rd rd pick from a couple years ago? nice development...

Yep. Won't be the last one we pissed away.

It's called Teryl Austin wanting his own guys. Gunther couldn't develop crap. I believe that Austin will be a lot better at developing the secondary than Gunther could. If Austin prefers Lawson over Bentley, so be it.

Well, if they're the guys calling the plays, I'd prefer that they have a lot of input on who we draft.

Mayhew before the draft: welp guys....ill leave it up to you...im gonna go hit up the bar for a mai tai

Mayock talking about Larry Webster like a TE, but isn't sure if he'll stay there or be a DE. I'll be extremely disappointed if Webster isn't a DE.

 

[cheeno]

[cheeno]

There ya go Diggler!

Cauran Reid


Strengths

Very quick off the ball. Disruptive shooting gaps and working half a blocker. Active and energetic -- feet are always running. Plays hard and competes. Very good sack production from the interior (20.5 career sacks). Good intelligence. Is very young (entered college as 17-year-old freshman) and still growing into his body -- has physical upside. Good length and hand-eye coordination -- 7 career blocked kicks.

Weaknesses

Tends to stand straight up, negating his quickness and power out of the gate. Is not stout and can be waylaid by the double team. Marginal upper-body strength (diminished from 2011 pectoral surgery). Shows little feel for blocking pressure and can be late to locate the ball. Can do a better job protecting his legs. Pushed around too easily. Durability issues have crept up throughout his career.

Draft Projection

Rounds 3-4

Bottom Line

A quick, agile, tilted nose who is effective slanting and stunting and working his way into the backfield. Has kicked outside in passing situations and has the tools to pique the interest of aggressive, one-gapping, 3-4 fronts such as the Jets, Steelers or Ravens as a five-technique. Developmental talent with raw traits to mold.

Not a bad pick
