On Day 3 - who is still out there??

Whats up with Tandon Doss and can he fill our need for speed? Looks like he can return kicks too.

DJ Williams
Taiwan Jones
Tandon Doss
Edmund Gates
Ricky Stanzi

Plenty of talent still on the board. I think we go after DJ Williams or Virgil Green in round 4. I'd love to take a chance on Marcus Cannon if Pouncey is indeed going to play Center.

Some good guys left.....here ar some "tiers" which I am copying from NFL.com/news:

Tier 5
Marcus Cannon, OL, TCU, 6-5, 358
Two-time All-Mountain West Conference selection. Must keep his weight down. He played tackle in college but might be best as a guard in the NFL.

Ricky Stanzi, QB, Iowa, 6-4, 223
Ran a 4.89 40. Has started 35 games. Needs more upper-body strength but is athletic. Good high school basketball player in Ohio.

Tier 6
Pernell McPhee (DL, Mississippi St.).

Tier 7
James Brewer (OL, Indiana).

Tier 8
Sam Acho (DL, Texas), Clint Boling (OL, Georgia), Kendall Hunter (RB, Oklahoma State), Da'Norris Searcy (DB, North Carolina), K.J. Wright (LB, Mississippi State).

Tier 9
Jordan Cameron (TE, USC), Chris Carter (LB, Fresno State), Quinton Carter (DB, Oklahoma), Edmond Gates (WR, Abilene Christian), Brandon Hogan (DB, West Virginia).

Tier 10
Tandon Doss (WR, Indiana), Ross Homan (LB, Ohio State), Casey Matthews (LB, Oregon), Colin McCarthy (LB, Miami), Jason Pinkston (OL, Pittsburgh), Luke Stocker (TE, Tennessee), Cedric Thornton (DL, Southern Arkansas).

TE: Jordan Cameron, Virgil Green, DJ Williams, Julius Thomas
COP RB: Taiwan Jones, Kendall Hunter, Nic Grigsby, Quizz Rodgers, Jordan Todman, Dion Lewis.

WR: Aldrick Robinson, Edmund Gates, Denarius Moore, Niles Paul, Ricardo Lockette, Cecil Shorts, Terrence Tolliver.
RT: David Mims

OLB: Chris Carter, Sam Acho, Greg Romeus
CB: Davon House, Curtis Marsh, Brandon Burton, Buster Skrine, Cortez Allen.

ILB: Mark Herzlich, Quan Sturdivant
FB: Owen Marecic, Charles Clay
S: DeAndre McDaniel, Robert Sands

QB: Tyrod Taylor

Greg McElroy and Quizz

So desperately want this guy, help both in the return game and 3rd down. Actually wanted mallett and jones but alas......

CCarter, Sam Acho, Q Davie, any small college passrusher is still on the board, the problem with the Lb corps is Q and Ike are both large and lumbering Sam's with no ST value and no Passrush ability, guys like Greg Romeus and Jabara Williams or Cheta Ozogouwo,

A name to watch is also Christian Anthony from Grambling.

Small college Db's such as:

-Cortez Allen
-Ryan Jones
-Mark Legree
-Jaqwan Jarret

Brandon Fusco and David arkin and David Mims are also names to watch.

Jaiquawn Jarrett went in round 2 to Philly.

Small, stick thin, atrocious injury history, 18 career fumbles all at a tiny school level.

Honestly??

The difficulty now lies with not having a 5th round pick. Since we have done nothing to address our lack of speed, I think we go either Taiwan Jones or Jaquizz Rodgers with the next pick (if either is still on the board). All reports though had indicated they really like DJ Williams, I doubt he makes it to round 6, so maybe he is next?

I like Quizz more than Jones ( because of injury history).

Do not know if you clicked on the Skinnypost link but they did hyperlink to UD youtube stuff.

David Mims in the 7th or Fusco in the 7th would not surprise at all.

I want Jacquizz Rodgers or DJ Williams in the 4th.

Wishlist:

DJ Williams
Virgil Green
Robert Sands
Chimdi Chekwa
Edmund Gates
Noel Devine
Taiwan Jones
Nic Grigsby
Chris Carter
Julius Thomas
Jacquizz Rodgers
Sam Acho

My guess is Chris Carter

i like jordan todman, think he could be a good player. these guys like to double up on a position. NEED a TE though and with sheets coming back healthy this position (TE) needs to be addressed.

Here is my list for people to consider with the 4th

WR Dwyane Harris - Devonne Bess with playmaking ability
QB Ricky Stanzi - Just a solid, boring QB prospect. Nothing flashy about the guy. Only QB left that could turn into solid starter though he'll never be elite
OLB Mario Addison - fantastic pass rush prospect
OLB Bruce Miller - another highball of energy pass rush prospect
ILB Greg Jones - Could fight for the starting spot

All are falling, except Acho. Good sign. I really like our odds with this upcoming pick if we don't take QB or any linemen.

jordan todman and dj williams are two more i would add

Don't forget we really need some improvement on special teams Pats game is still a nightmare for me.

Cowboys aren't taking a TE. Hopefully noone trades up with them. DJ Williams has to be a Fin!!!

Any thoughts on Kendall Hunter? RB out of Oklahoma State?

Looks like he could be a CoP back and possible punt returner... Not that I know much about draft-day shenanigans...

I like the Edmund Gates pick better than Thomas (mainly because of his injury-bad memories of Odrick and RBrown). Gates has a lot of upside if he can learn the system, think he'll be our kick returner from Day 1? I suppose he could be the 4th WR as well from day 1 maybe.
