I'm saying you're probably not trying to jump anybody. Unless you really have eyes for someone, you have no great reason to jump up. Take the picks, get bodies into camp.Rus wrote: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/tracker#d ... y-position
There. Look at the list on the bottom, select different positions, check out the grades.
Honestly, I was hoping they'd take a guard in the fifth, even a converted tackle. I can't tell you he could compete with, between Baca, Johnson, and Fusco I don't know who'd be the best choice, but I like the fact that the guy pulls well, did well in the agility drills at the Combine, and plays mean. Meaning he brings something new and different to the guards.DanAS wrote: It was a team need.
This guy was second team all Pac 12, and they say he plays with a nasty streak. Intriguing.
I realize I am late to the party... But mouse has always been terribly overrated. Maybe now some people will see what it is like to have a real punter.saint33 wrote: this

Is that a pic of Jeff Baca or did Matt Birk gain weight and grow out an afro?Eli wrote:

Yes he is.PurpleKoolaid wrote:We got a mean guard. We need a guard. Could repace Johnson (plz god) sooner rather then later.
Im so busy here, does anyone know if WR Rogers is still out there?

However, when you take the best punter in the country, odds are usually pretty good he'll work out. A guy compared to Anger (who I believe was All Pro last year) and was suggested by at least one source to be a possibility in the 3rd or 4th round.
Not sure if he made the PB, but I think he's had trouble with an injury from about 1-2 years ago.
