I might be ok with Still at 48. He's really bad at using his hands to lock out though. That is a big time issue in our system.

Yeah, that's my problem with him as well. He just uses his mass and has little or no technique involved in his game. I doubt he'll be a Patriot tbh. Worthy is more likely imo, but I'm hoping for Boykin.

Big time upside still though. A lot of his flaws are fairly coachable and the bodytype is right. I'm not the biggest fan in the world, but I've wanted a guy who can be a true DE in a 3-4 for awhile now.

[BradysKnee]

Unlike their first pick, Jets taking Stephen Hill would be a solid pick. Dunno how much Tebow will be able to hit him though.

[cmarq83]

For the love of god Razor I hope you're right about Hill.

[TNPatsFan]

Always hate seeing players I like go to teams I hate. But in reality Hill is a developmental guy who should have been picked in the third or fourth round. He could end up being a great WR but I don't see it happening with the Jets. Definitely not if Tebow is the QB.

I like Hill too. I've been burnt by guys like him before, but I don't think I'll ever truly learn for guys like that.


...so my justification for this not being that bad is that Sanchez doesn't have the arm to hit him down the field anyway.

[Razor]

You never know, but he never seemed sudden in his routes and didn't disguise them very well. He can kill you on the fly route, but that's about it. But we play a lot two deep safeties so I hope that can contain him. Especially with an improved front seven.

[TNPatsFan]

Only a few more picks before the Pats. I know they already took a similar player but I would love to see them take Vinny Curry.

I have a feeling this will be the pick they trade though. Move back 8 or 10 spots and get themselves a fourth or fifth rounder.

[Blackluck]

Two boom/bust guys for the Jets. *hex hex hex*

Edit: Vinny Curry would be awesome.

[Razor]

I'd take Randle or Boykin if they're available, but Konz would be tempting as well.

It's tough because coming from GT there isn't a whole lot to go off of. However, you can't deny that kind of raw talent. Even if he never develops the short game, I could still see him causing us a lot of problems in the future with that big time size/speed. Thankfully, Sanchez is the great equalizer.

The Sanchez factor will be huge... I think that there are very few players that can be great at being limited. Moss was great at it, but not limited to it. He was just used in that way. I like Hill's tools, but this is too high for him. Draft guys like him later and let him develop. That's the way I'd do it.

I honestly wouldn't mind that now that Jenkins, Wolfe, and Hill are gone. There aren't too many guys I'm in love with on the board left.

*Edit* Add Kendricks to that list too.

This seems like a great spot for a classic Patriots what the **** pick.

Ok Everyone call it, I'll go Zebrie Sanders for pure WTF ness.

[ElectricEye]

BLAM! But at least they got the S. Just need the WR now.

Would've rather had Markelle Martin because I really like him, but I'm just glad they got a S that they obviously like.

Good call. WTF?

[cmarq83]

I know virtually nothing about him. Anyone got any info?

[Wootylicous]

What the ******* ****

[TNPatsFan]

Hard to imagine how that could be the best player on their board with all the solid talent that's still there. On the other hand. It would be hard for him NOT to be better than the safeties that played for the Pats last year.

[Jvig43]

Yeahhhhhhhhh about that. I was really hoping for Konz there tbh.

[TNPatsFan]

I was really hoping Troy Brown from Marshall would announce they took a Marshall guy. That being Vinny Curry.
