Austen Lane Would have to gain 20lbs or be nothing more than a situational guy like Jarvis Green was. Maybe he can lose 10 or 15lbs and gain back enough agility to play SOLB. Corey Wootton is a better option for either position.
I don't really follow this argument. Your concern with Austen Lane is that at 6'6" 273 4.76 he's a tweener -- too light for DE, and too slow and heavy for OLB. So the solution is to take 6'6" 272 4.93 Corey Wootton for both positions instead?
If Bryant doesn't land in Denver the word out is that the Bengals will add Bryant to thier roster - 2 guys with Bryant as thier last name could be WRs for the Bengals when Thursday is over
I think I can live with the first two but Tebow is a wasted pick. Austen Lane Would have to gain 20lbs or be nothing more than a situational guy like Jarvis Green was. Maybe he can lose 10 or 15lbs and gain back enough agility to play SOLB. Corey Wootton is a better option for either position.

Not bad. I love the Hughes/Lane combo, and if I could really be sure of landing Hughes at #44 I'd be willing to roll the dice on Bryant in the 1st. But when you look at the other talent available at #47 -- Kareem Jackson, Alualu, Veldheer, Best, Hardesty -- it's mighty hard to make the case for Tebow there. It smacks of reading too many headlines.
You left out the option that best describes this scenario...EPIC FAIL. To waste a pick on Tebow who if he ever makes it as a QB will take at least as long as Brady has left to...and to add the anthesis WR for his system, would just boggle the mind.

Thats how I feel, Tebow is a cute pick and will have a lot of fluffy headlines on how the master 'BB' can mold him into a QB but it doesn't help stop the run. The DT (3/4 end) class is very deep, I can't see anyway they don't pick a DT in round 2. Hell I think they should draft for the front seven with all four slots.
I don't disagree in principle, but you've got to take the rough with the smooth when it comes to evaluating other peoples' drafts. If I was told that we traded up using two 2nd rounders and took Bryant at 20 and Hughes at 22, then took Lane at 53, I would be over the moon.
Tebow is therefore, in my mind, a freebie pick. Especially since I see no way Hughes falls to 44 and it's 22 or nothing if you want to get him.
That said, a draft of Bryant (22), Hughes (44), Best (47), Lane (53) would rock my world so hard :rocker:

I think Kareem Jackson will be a very good player, but I also think he's the 2nd, 3rd or 4th corner off the board and may be gone by the time we pick at 44. Proof of how deep this draft is in red-chip prospects...and how badly some teams need CBs.Very good point -- nabbing both Bryant & Hughes without a trade up does make this a win.
(Personally, I'd rather rock on Bryant, Hughes, Lane and Kareem Jackson. I'm increasing thinking that CB looks like strong 2nd-round value, and an addition like Jackson could give the Pats one of the elite defensive backfields in football.)
Where would Cody play? Are you planning to move Wilfork to DE?
