Joel Bitonio, OT/G/C, Nevada

[deanpet21]

kojo as the first pick in the 2nd round. He should be the targeted guy.

 

[deanpet21]

Amaro not even a 2nd round pick. wow. Steal in the 3rd for us.

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah "wouldn't be shocked" if Nevada OL Joel Bitonio landed at the end of Round 1.
This tweet falls in line with a few recent respected mock drafts that have projected the same. It's not hard to talk yourself into Bitonio. For one, he's an extremely versatile prospect who played OT during his Nevada career, but shifted seamlessly inside during Senior Bowl week; some scouts believe he is capable of playing all five positions, which, if nothing else, could save a club a roster spot. For two, he's extremely tough in the mold of his father, a former bare knuckle MMA fighter. Regardless of where he slots, the 6-foot-4, 315-pounder should carve out a long career.

the points is dean he is all over the place and i feel he isnt value at 34 period

 

[Sleepy T]

We don't have to get an O Lineman there at that spot, if one falls to us then great. BPA period, except for QB, TE, LT, RB, and maybe even OLB.

We certainly don't need another TE. No way we go with Amaro there. I'd puke.

 

[deanpet21]

Why not Amaro? You want to rely on Paulsen? no problem skinsdad, I m just proving his stock is going up now.

Because aside from dallas, not many teams run a three TE package very often. If we cant use the pick on a Wr, we surely cant use it on a TE.

 

[deanpet21]

so amaro is not an upgrade from Paulsen? lol

 

[Sharkinva]

As a pass catcher sure. But the rub on him is that he isnt a very good blocking TE which is Paulsens role. So in reality he wouldnt be replacing Paulsen, he would be replacing Paul who is one of our few special teams stand outs. And unlike Shanahan, I dont see Gruden even contemplating carrying four TEs on the roster.

 

[deanpet21]

blocking can be learned. Im leaning towards Kojo at #34 but Amaro is there in the 3rd round that would be a huge steal.

Dean... you have made it clear you would be fine with almost anything on the offensive line as our first pick.

And Fred Davis never really learned how to block

 

[deanpet21]

give me a name shark that you would take over an olineman. Mosely, the two safeties, and Benjamin are off the board. Go!!!

i have no issue with amaro , you have me confused with someone else te is a need and if amaro is the BPA then pick him

 

[deanpet21]

lol you want a WR just as much as I want a RT shark. Roberts is pissed off now what will he say if we draft Robinson like Shark wants. lol. SO Shark you are totally written off Hank and A. Robinson by drafting a 4th WR at 34 overall?

 

[deanpet21]

There is more depth at Wr than OT in this draft.

 

[j_y19]

How can you say that when McShay's draft has 6 going in the 1st round? If this is true (I haven't seen it), there must also be depth at T in this draft.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to drafting a T with 34, as long as he is the BPA. Moses could very well fit that bill. I'm just don't want us to reach (which I'm sure Allen will not do) for a Tackle just because we have a perceived hole. I also am not as concerned about our current RTs as you are. Polumbus is not great, but he is serviceable and if need be, we can wait another year to replace him. Who knows, maybe Compton beats him out this year.

 

[deanpet21]

Moses is going to be gone by 34. Kojo should be there and should be the pick. We can get a big wr like Coleman from Rutgers in the 4th round if you want a big WR.


Moses, Bitonio, and Kojo should be the targets at 34.

i wouldnt touch bitonio . he isnt value at 34 . and again we dont know who will be there at 34 as far as moses is concerned

Hankerson is coming back off of an injury that usually takes two years to recover from and cant be relied on this season. robinson is anothe 5'11" sppedster who is of no use in the redzone. I dont want just any WR. I want one that brings something we dont actually have,, height and a redzone presence. If we drafted another 5'10" WR at 34 I would be drastically pissed. If we draft another OT that is good at run blocking but struggles or needs work as a pass blocker but we force him in as a starter, I will be pissed. Bring in an impact player that gies us something we dont have currently on the team and Im fine with it. But most of the O-lineman you are clamoring for either have

1. Injury histories
2. Struggles as pass protectors

I would rather draft a WR that makes our WR group complete, than an O-lineman that makes our currently average O-line slightly more average.
