Gerald McCoy to the Bucs

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Teds Restaurant and Bar brings you the 3rd pick in the draft…The Bucs select Gerald McCoy from Oklahoma.

3 for 3. I really like this pick too. McCoy will be a great fit for the Bucs. The first three picks are done…all were locks in my mind, now this is where the draft gets interesting.

Pick 4 – Washington will pick OT Russell Okung from Oklahoma State.

The Big Tuna and Early Bird Specials!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

FWG: The Dolphins have improved considerably under the tutelage of the Big Tuna, but all that can be undone with a few sloppy draft picks, not that Miami fans really care, football is secondary in Florida.  To what you ask? Well, Early Bird dinners and trying not to die.  Anyway, with Jason Taylor rapidly aging, the ‘Fins need to find a replacement for their beast on the outside.  Well, a lot of draft boards are saying that they should take Paul-Pierre.  I think not, he’s a risky pick (yes with a huge upside) but what kind of role would be played along side Taylor?  I think Miami should go with Brandon Graham out of Michigan.  He’s an Inside/Outside linebacker type, but has enough size (6’2 268lbs) to put his hand in the dirt, and pressure off the edge in a three point stance. Combine that with his ability to play the standup, carry the vert, and even play some spy-technique (buzzing the flats, and confusing QB’s) and he provides a sound defensive pick, with enough athleticism to throw a few wrinkles at opposing offenses.

Jay: Well FWG, I completely disagree with you. Yes, they do need a rush LB but I think Graham is best suited to play a DE role. They filled a huge need last week by signing ILB Karlos Dansby from Arizona. Now, they need a NT. Jason Ferguson was old in the first place (35 yrs. old) and he was just suspended for using PEDs. (He will miss the first 8 games of the season) I think the Dolphins should pick DT Dan Williams from the University of Tennessee. Williams has been overshadowed by Suh and McCoy but he can really play. Williams performed very well at the combine almost locking himself in as the number 3 DT in the 2010 NFL draft. He weighs in at 327 pounds and should be a great fit in that defense.

The Lions are on the clock…

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

FWG: You know, I said that the Lions should take Jimmy Clausen in the 2010 NFL Draft and Jay laughed in my face.  He said “The Lions drafted a Matthew Stafford in the 2009 NFL Draft” and then I started thinking, sure that logic might make sense for the other 31 teams, but not for the Lions.  Nope, not them. Dan Orlovsky or Calvin Johnson, it simply doesn’t matter.  So my real pick would probably be Gerald McCoy, because Suh will be gone by then, and he fills a need at DT, but at this point does it really matter?  If it were up to me I’d say draft a prescription for Paxil or Prozac and dispense it freely at Ford Field.

Jay: I hate to do this but yes, I am selecting another defensive tackle. Right now most of you are probably wondering if the world is going to come to an end because the first 2 picks in the NFL draft are defensive lineman. I am here to reassure you that it will be okay. Both defensive linemen are extremely talented. The Lions are picking in the easiest spot in the entire draft. If Suh is taken first, Gerald McCoy is a must have at pick 2 and if for some reason the Rams take a QB first, then drafting Suh is a no brainer. So with the second pick in the 2010 NFL draft, I have the Lions selecting DT Gerald McCoy from Oklahoma. For being a 300-pounder, McCoy is extremely athletic. Like Suh, he has a great combination of size and strength. He also has the ability to chase down running backs from behind. Getting a player like this with the 2nd pick in the 2010 NFL draft is a nice luxury for the Detroit Lions.
