Agree with ya Jim. Those names come to mind right away for me, especially Newton and Smith. I'm not that sold on Solder either.
I hope Solder plays the left side come Spetember. I wonder if Wake will exploit those tendencies to play tall and without much "umph''? I am guessing Solder would have a very ruse introduction to the NFL.
-Marcel Darius no one has noticed, but Lil Nicky's guys are not exactly setting the NFL on fire -Carpenter for the seachickens, a reach to begin with now he will start sooner then he should -Baldwin, oh boy, how long will it take for "tough love" to reach this guy? -Julio Jones, had foot surgery and will miss 2 months already, see Alabama guys above -Aldon Smith, SF had needs at Db, he is stuck behind a couple of good players -Adrian Clayborne, production dropped like a stone, total reach by the bucs imho -Corey Liuget, NFL rosters are littered with guys like him and AJ Smith is singularly bad at spotting DT talent
Tough for an OL to be a bust really - even if Smith fails at LT he can go back to RT and probably do pretty well. Surprised Newton is the only QB that got mentioned, I think all first round QBs this year are/were somewhat risky and I am definitely interested in seeing how they develop. The NFL is batting pretty well on first round QBs the last several years, will we see this trend break and go back to "normal", or will we see them all step up and perform. Jones may have the biggest target though, considering the high bust rate of WRs, the long learning curve, his injury and how much atlanta gave up for him.
