I'd throw Jordan in there.

Remember how we all wanted Eric Berry in 2010 but we all thought there was no chance we draft him because of Piolis comment?

Hopefully, we have a similar high five session this year when we get what we want again.

Not all of us did.

And Berry, despite his two Pro Bowl nods, needs to show up this next year as something other than the second best inside linebacker on the team.

Oh i remember. Every Mock draft and expert had us taking Okung.

Turned into a good thread. My logic was dumb, but I wanted to pose it anyways. So many people will be upset if we don't draft Geno, I didn't figure a whole lot of people would be upset if we did. So why the **** are we arguing this so much?

You would have drafted JaMarcuss Russell or Vince Young because they are the top rated QB in the draft.

King logic!

Who says they don't believe in Albert you stupid ****? Andy Reid wanted to draft him, but the Chiefs beat him to the punch. Not to mention Dorsey said Albert is the future for us at LT...

Says who? The idiots on ESPN & NFLn? You do what is best for the future of the team. Trading a proven LT for a lesser and unproven LT is not good for the team now, and likely not later.

One in the hand is worth two in the bush. If Geno fails, we're out the #1 pick. If Joeckel were to fail, we're out the #1 and a top LT in the league.

What makes you so sure that they won't?

Is it not possible that they are letting his signing wait in order to confuse others about our draft intentions? You sign him now and Joker and Fisher are moot. If you go into the draft without having signed him, and draft Joeckel/Fisher #1, his trade value deflates. All of a sudden you're desperate to get rid of him.

10¢ head vs a smart QB like Geno. Gee, totally fair.

For as many people on the board who rip people for rationalizing Alex Smith, there are some damn good rationalizers for a QB that's not looked upon very well in a weak class.

That's all I've got to say about that.

Even though most all media pundits now agree Geno is a legit top 5 pick and will be shocked if he's not taken there?

Joeckel's ceiling is Joe Thomas, yet Geno's is Bradford?

Again, I'd rather them target a pass rusher of some kind, or star. I think Star might be the best football player in the whole draft

What has Star done to make you believe he can rush the passer?

[penbrook]

Were the first ever team in NFL History with the #1 draft pick who doesnt have any holes.

I would agree re: Fisher.

Post #290 is what I'm getting at. Guys like Solder, Constanzo, Sherrod looked about the same as Joeckel and dropped likely due to deep LT classes. I think the same would happen to Joker. People put too much into idiots saying "best tackle I've ever scouted". They were wrong.
