if that's the case then stephen paea could be the jared odrick-type consideration of 2011 along with drake nevis and jurell casey.

Those are the exact same 3 guys I think we'll be keeping an eye out on draft day.

funny thing is that im pretty sure we would've wanted him this year but his 3 mil a year cap number was likely too high. it will be lower when he's no longer with the jets.

Plus we would have had to trade a pick for him.

isn't kerrigan the kid from purdue? i read somewhere that he's more of a try hard guy rather than a raw skills guy. im hoping that we can add someone with both an edge rush and a bull rush.

Yeah that's him and that's exactly how I'd classify him. He's kind of like Brandon Graham, not overly impressive athletically but he plays hard every snap and more importantly he has good strength. Plus he seems to have a knack for creating turnovers. He's never going to be a star but he'll make a very reliable bookend to a more naturally talented DE like Will Smith. But he's being over hyped and will go way earlier than he should, like in this mock draft mid first round seems wayyy to high.

don't really understand why you would be so sour on austin even in the third round.:hihi:

he's had four sacks in 2 of the last 3 years and i understand that he's had issues academically and has even gotten kicked off of his team but i don't see how either of those things makes him any worse than anthony hargrove, junior galette, or carlos dunlap.

it's seems like you really, really, hate this guy. i admitt i haven't followed everything that's gone on between austin and UNC but judging from your distaste of austin i get the feeling that there's more than just the academic issues to be concerned with.

It's not so much me it's what this FO would do. I don't really care about off the field issues, it's just the FO doesn't seem interested in players that have questionable work ethic when it comes to practice and that's where Austin's issue is. He is supremely talented but he'll never reach his potential because it seems like he just doesn't care.

If it were up to me I would take him in the 2nd but it's not. If he goes in the 2nd he's not going to have a big pay check so it's not like he can just take the money and run and I'm a big believer in this locker room and how it can transform players.

Gallete and Hargrove have a great work ethic and give it their all whenever they are on the field, that's why they are on this team. Dunlap didn't have that good of a work ethic and while I liked the guy I don't know what our FO's stance was on him. Heck, we passed on Griffen in the 3rd so who knows.
