Ewok Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think the basis behind the Zeitler pick was having a Wisconsin duo on the line (Konz, Zeitler)But imo I would have taken Orson Charles (young talented TE to take over after TonyG), Vinny Curry (Young LB presence with Weatherspoon and ??), or Brandon Boykin (especially since he traded Grimes) in that slot.

FalcoChicquera Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't have done the Patriots trade even though I like Brockers. Grimes is a valuable player to us.Konz and David Wilson with our 2nd would have done me nicely.Of course the day we get a top 35 pick for a 30 year old RB on a $5m contract is this day: Edited March 8, 2012 by FalcoChicquera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel OG is a bigger hole than RB even with the loss of Turner. Zeitler is a nasty dude too. Wisconsins OL just mauled people last year. I'll gladly take the whole interior line.

Ewok Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah I wouldn't take a RB either.. Quizz and Snelling is fine imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel City Falcon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I could maybe see the Indy trade for Turner, but NE giving up a 1st and 2nd for Grimes? I don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I could maybe see the Indy trade for Turner, but NE giving up a 1st and 2nd for Grimes? I don't see that happening.It would be #27 for grimes, and then a switch of 2nd picks (48 and 55) its a logical trade.Turner wouldn't happen though.. as much as Indy needs it, we couldn't get that trade.

JulioisCoolio Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I could maybe see the Indy trade for Turner, but NE giving up a 1st and 2nd for Grimes? I don't see that happening.Was a 1st and a swap of 2nds and they have a huge need @ corner. That trade is more realistic than the Turner trade I think.

Falcanuck Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Then who plays CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Exploder Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I like the movement, but neglecting to replace Grimes early is risky. Brockers is a great talent and a decent steal, but I would have preferred picking up Alfonzo Dennard to fill his shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Then who plays CB?FA. Can't fill every hole in a 3 round mock.There are some good FA corners this year that will fit a man scheme better than Grimes. This scenario free'd up 15 million in cap space as well.

falconidae Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nobody is giving a 2nd for Turner, and the Falcons are going to give Hawley at least one more year to to earn the starting center spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
