If Dorsey drafts Cam Erving at #18, he's dead to me.

This is one pick that would make me throw my tv out the window

When I think about our first round pick, the first thing that comes to my mind is "I hope they pick someone who can save us a few bucks against the cap."

Cam Erving may be a fine prospect, but its unrealistic to think that he is going to start in 2015. He is very raw playing center, and Reid's playbook is very complicated. There is no way he would be able to make the line calls by the start of the season.
It would be hard to imagine that he could beat out Kush who has been in this same offense now for 2yrs. Thus, Erving wouldnt really be offering any true competition to Kush nor would he be any 'savings' in the short term. |

Can't find the article right now, but I remember seeing in Andy's tenure in Philly his centers were undrafted. And then he got Jason Kelce in the 6th
I hate the idea of Erving in the first and don't see it happening |

Reaching for a 2nd round CB, Maxx Williams, Jake Fisher, Bernardrick McKinney are better moves than taking a freaking center in the 1st round.

I know it's been said millions of times every year.....but we're in a spot where we need to trade down (unless a top 3 WR falls).

It's very rare to find an OL that has the feet to play LT and strength and brawn to play center.
I try not to get hung up on the position as much as the player. IMHO, at 18 if you draft a guy that becomes a pro bowler and locks down that position for the next decade it was a great pick regardless of whether it's a C, S, ILB or even G.

Letting Hudson walk proves that this regime doesn't value the position like other teams. We had one of the best in the league and let him walk to draft another in the first? This isn't the same as Abert/Fisher. Albert was damn near 30, always banged up, and got paid 11 a year. And Fisher was widely considered the best player in the draft. Hudson was 25 and one of the top at his position, and we let him walk.. Erving is far from a sure thing. Best case scenario he is as good as Hudson was in 2 years

When was Fisher widely considered to be the best player in the draft? Pretty sure that up until draft day....they had us going back and forth between Fisher and Joekel.

I think it would be worth it simply for the reaction of SNR.

They already had two starting OTs on the team and a promising 3rd round swing tackle who had already started some games. They manufactured a hole by cutting Winston, and when negotiations with Albert to pay him chump change fell through, they tagged him and drafted Fisher, preparing for next year when Albert would walk. If they drafted Fisher because they really believed he was a good player worthy of that pick, then why tag Albert at all? Let him walk and try to recover one of the picks we lost for Alex Smith. |
