Increasingly this draft is shaping up that players that we thought would be available won't at #27.
I mean if Denver takes Mark Barron S at #25 instead of DT Jerel Worthy I'll be very disappointed. But I think they will.
So, as Ochmed Jones has said, we may be faced with OT Jonathan Martin as the best player available. I wouldn't mind, but it's sure fans would be disappointed.
Here's a recent, reputable mock draft from a few days ago: 2010 NFL DRAFT
Legitimately we might have the top players consisting of the following at the end of the draft: Martin, Gilmore, Konz, Fleener, Reyes, Adams. The only guy I can get excited about is Reyes coming from New England.
I think we either trade down, but for good value, or we reach for a player at a position of need that's early second round caliber. Or do we do what is common wisdom and take the best player available?
After reading "War Room" it seems that the consensus is to take the 'safe' pick in the first round.
I'm not seeing too many 'safe' picks that will be left. The more I think about it, and the more it shapes up, I think the odds are that we trade down--possibly even both 27 and 31.
I don't think that BB would trade out of both, so I think he'll be forced to take a chance with someone like in 2006 and 2007 with Maroney and Meriweather.
I would agree that the only one I'd probably even really get 'excited' about is Reyes, and even that's a stretch. I'm wondering if Gilmore or Fleener wouldn't make more sense, as weird as it sounds.
Konz may actually be the 'safest' pick left at that point.
