Joel Bitonio, OT/G/C, Nevada

[deanpet21]

This guy is flying up draft boards. He can play any position on the oline. Wouldn't mind him at all at #34. But I still would take Moses or Filo over him. Just in case Moses Filo are gone.

Ihe sounds good we need center og and rt he would be perfect let's get him

 

[Sleepy T]

Ehh. Sounds like a very good utility lineman, but everything I have found about him is that he is a 2nd-3rd rounder. We essentially have a 1st round pick. I would like to target best available (graded) 1st round pick who falls to us. We might be able to get this guy in the early 3rd.

 

[deanpet21]

early 3rd? I doubt that VT

 

[Sleepy T]

Maybe... maybe not?? We don't know how the draft is going to go. All I know is that I have not seen anyone projecting him in the 1st or early, early 2nd round ... which means we might be reaching for him @ #34. Something alot of you aren't wanting to do under any circumstance.

I wouldn't be totally against the pick, he is probably a really good player. I just think a better player may be there at that spot. I am still hoping we move back and get another 3rd-4th. I think the last few picks of the 1st and first few of the 2nd might be attractive to some teams wrt a trade.

 

[skinsdad62]

picking him at 34 is a huge reach . i think we can get a better player then him

 

[deanpet21]

huge reach? projected mid second rounder dad.

i saw his sr bowl . he is a reach in round 2 period

 

[skinsdad62]

here is a scouting report on him . doesnt possess ideal length or build to be an LT , might be better served to play guard , a position he NEVER played at nevada . appears to have shorter then ideal arms . gets lazy with funddemantals . gets beaten with effective over arm swim

projected 3rd round

this comes from lindy's

 

[deanpet21]

I heard from McShay and Kiper that his stock his rising. Absolute steal if we see him in the 3rd round.

it wouldnt be a steal , it would be where he is projected to be . mcshay and kiper arent the end all be all of scouting .

sporting news , lindy's walter football are pretty good

walter has him 2-3 rounder .

This is the perfect example of why you don't draft for position. This guy at 34 is a reach big time and a bit of a risk. But dean you are so desperate for OL upgrades that you will take the next "hot" name in the OL even though more proven players will still be there.

And here I thought i was the only one thinking this.

Don't risk our 1st pick in the draft on reach. With #34 your looking at guys who fall out of first round not guys who might fall out of 2nd round. I say in 4th rd the Washington Redskins should select OT Laurent Duvernay-Tardif- Canada. He can play either OG or OT.

Exactly. The 34th pick is basically a first round pick especially this year with the crop of talent in this draft. There is going to be playmakers that are going to drop out of the 1st and into our laps. They may not be at a priority position of need (OL, S, ILB), but you can't pass up on them as over the long haul they make your team much better. We still have so many holes that there is a good chance whoever falls can make us better both this year and for the future. Just don't pigeon hole yourself by being desperate to fill a position.

dean wants a o/lineman come hell or high water

the answer is to take the best player

if moses is there i think he is the best player , if bitino is there i say pass

 

[deanpet21]

How is Kojo not good value at #34? I mentioned other guys I liked besides OL but if Kojo is t here and he checks out medically its a no brainer.

Value is a relative term. Is he a good value? Compared to who? It just depends on who else is available. Most mocks don't have him going this high, so that should raise a flag for you..

 

[deanpet21]

He has a medical problem if that is resolved he should be the pick. He would be a nice RT. I want to see Kipers mock next week to see where he has him.
