Kendrick Ellis to the Jets toward the end of 3.


Hopefully Greenbay will take TJ with the last pick of the day.

And with that pick by Carolina, TJ falls to Day 3. :ohno: Some team is going to get a steal tomorrow.

That would be my guess. I'd be really surprised if he wasn't picked in the top 10 picks tomorrow though.

I was a little shocked that the guy from Clemson went so early. Cannot remember his name but he had a big, BIG, negative check mark about his knees. One or both will need to be done, 8 month rehab time, in the next 3-5 years.

Da'Quan Bowers? He didn't go early. He was projected mid 1st. He slid hard.

That is the one. All the folks that I spoke with had him in the early 4th to the end of the 6th.

:dunce: Disregarding the injury, he's a top 10 pick. He was still in the top 20 in almost all of the mock drafts on NFL.com.

I know. I just don't see the positive :vs: the negative. But then again...I am in the minority about sCam Newton too.

Says a lot about Ben that the Colts jumped up to trade him. Primary position will probably be guard with ability to slide out to OT in an emergency.

As far as TJ goes he had a lot working against him. Mainly that teams have bought into the fact that most running backs can be found in the 3rd round or later if your just looking for production. You had the heisman trophy winner from an SEC school where he produced barely go in the first round. The other backs picked ahead of him were from major schools with lots of production and no injury concerns.

He will go early in the 4th round though. Raiders like speed and they will take him if no one else does.

I just hope he gets with a team that has a real need so he makes the roster. Oh and also with a team that I don't hate. :thumb:
