martin would be a good pick because he could start at guard as a rookie then move to LT once dunlaps contract is up/gets injured. if he doesnt work out at tackle, he'll be a pro bowler at guard.

I agree. You and i might be the only ones here who think he can handle OT.Originally posted by Antonio's Gates View PostComment

honestly I only saw him at guard during todays game. havent seen him play in any other games so I don't have an opinion either way on him as a tackle. I'm just saying even if he couldn't handle it, he'd still be a great player and he's a pretty safe pick and you know Joe D likes his linemen versatile.Originally posted by Fleet View PostComment

You mean you only saw him at OT today? I dont think he played any OG. At any rate he shouldnt be there when we pick.Originally posted by Antonio's Gates View PostComment

Ahh. I missed that. They must have moved him back to LT at the end of the 4th. Last 2 plays he went up against Dee Ford and held him the first time. Then lifted him off the ground the next. RB and OG tried to help but he didnt need it.Comment

Martin was playing at OLG at the end of the game. At least one mock has him there for us at 25. I think a good draft strategy would be BPA in the first, then flop to the other side of the ball BPA in the second. I'm not in the drafting a CB in the first, though.Comment

Yep, he was next to Brandon Thomas who was playing LT. Thomas is another guy that is a LT/OG prospect.Originally posted by Antonio's Gates View PostComment

The 2014 Draft
Even though NFL teams have just started their evaluation of the underclassmen, general managers universally believe this will be the deepest draft ever because of the influx.
“You hope that all these guys can play,” said Chiefs general manager John Dorsey. “Once you determine they can play and they’re real players, after studying the combine next month, you’ll see it. All of a sudden you’ll have quality of depth. Hopefully that adds quality of depth to this year’s draft.”

That could lead to a rash of trade downs—including picking up seventh-round selections to get a jump on undrafted free agency—and teams using picks from the ’15 draft to get more picks this year.
“If people say there are a lot of juniors this year, that means there might not be a lot of seniors next year and teams will say, ‘Let’s maybe use future picks for this year,’” said Rams general manager Les Snead. “You never know how that’s going to work. But I do think when it’s deep, that it does affect strategy. It just depends on how creative people get.”
The Rams could be one of those teams. They have nine selections, including two in the first round: second overall and 13 . St. Louis already stated it’s open to trading down.
“I’m ecstatic about where we’re sitting now with the 2 and 13,” Snead said. “The deeper this (draft) gets, all of a sudden you may have more quality. You may have a second and a third that you might feel good about trading to get lower and with more picks. Should be fun.”
The influx of underclassmen to the NFL is in full swing and shows no sign of slowing down. Things are about to change in a big wayGo Rivers!Comment
