Crawled Through 5 FB Fields
1. Offensive Tackle---look at it this way, there was once chance to draft an immediate starter at RT and that was at #13. None of the tackles available in the 3rd round are immediate starters and the Cardinals' personnel people and coaches may feel that D.J. Young, the young tackle already on the roster, is better than anyone they are going to draft in rounds 3-7.
Thus your project tackle is D.J. Young.
That said, a few tackles to keep an eye on:...ones that fit the Cardinal mold...
Matt McCants, UAB. Watched a good deal of tape on him last night and I believe he has the right combination of toughness, bend, balance, footwork and punch. Round 5 or 6.
Tom Compton, South Dakota St. Same. Round 5 or 6.
Dennis Kelly, Purdue. was very much under the radar but turned heads at his Pro Day which was attended by the Cardinals. Round 6 or 7.
2. I think that if S George Iloka, 6-4, 222, 4.4 speed, of Boise St. is available at #112, he might be the top choice.
The other players at #112 that I think the Cardinals might have at the top of their board:
WRs---Chris Givens, Juron Criner, Jarius Wright, Devon Wylie, Danny Coale
My guess: Jarius Wright
OLBs---Ronnell Lewis, Jonathan Massaquoi, Kyle Wilber, Keenan Robinson, Miles Burris
My hope: Miles Burris
My guess: Kyle Wilber
Watched some tape of Wilber again last night and he reminds me of faster version of Clark Haggans. Wilber has real upside...very good athlete who has sneaky strength.
RB guess: Tauren Poole, Tennessee.
In the 5th round---the ST ace this year?
My guess: Ron Brooks, DB, LSU.
It also would not surprise me if the Cardinals use the 5th round pick on Kellen Moore, QB, Boise St.
On a personal note---while I am not fond of bragging about myself, I hope you find it acceptable to brag about my grandfather, Teddy Brennan, who laid the foundation of the Radio City Music Hall in 1932. It gives me goosebumps to watch the Draft there. He was such a great man...eldest son of 14 children who left school at age 14 to support the family after his father passed away. His breakthrough job was to pave the sidewalk outside of Tiffany's---the same sidewalk that that is there today! From there he merged with a man named Sloane to form the Brennan and Sloane Construction Company---and before it was all said and done they laid the foundations for Radio City Music Hall, the United Nations Building, Rockefeller Center Skating Rink, The Jabob Javitt's Center and NYC Hospital which is 8 stories under the ground, then a record, and might still be....and a number of other NYC landmarks.
