[quote][b]Stigma (10/27/2008)[/b][hr]I am very intrigued by Gerald McCoy - DE/DT - Oklahoma. I don't think he will come out this year, but if he does, I would probably put him at the top of my wish list for the Jags Rd 1 selection.

I really see him being the perfect LDE prospect. He is big enough to be a DT, but fast enough to be a pass rush DE, as he is for the Sooners. He could play 1st down at LDE and then move inside and play DT on 3rd and long pass plays.[/quote]

Beast!

He's my #1 guy....of guys being around our pick.

[quote][b]The Lord of Orange (10/29/2008)[/b][hr]I think it's amazing how many draft boards have underclassmen targeted as first round picks. I mean Matt Stafford is listed as anywhere from pick 1 to pick 5 and it's not even a given yet he'll declare. Seems like a lot of the guys they have listed are ones I think won't declare and they don't list ones I think will.

For example I think Bradford would declare for the draft next year before Stafford. I might be wrong, but.....

Sanchez is listed as a top QB prospect (I know...keyword "prospect") and I am doubting he'll declare.

I dunno. It just amazes me that a lot of the top "prospects" projected as first round picks in the '09 draft are underclassmen.[/quote]

thats because the senior players are not as good, because the good ones leave when they are juniors

Gerald McCoy is one helluva DT, he's 6'4", 295 lbs. with the build to add 10 or more lbs. and he's quick and stout vs. the run
