Same here. Guy is going to be a stud WR and exactly what this team needs at WR. But he will be long gone by 16.

He shouldn't get past Miami, since they traded Marshall away, but.....

[QUOTE=Paradis;4442894]I was going to leave this in the draft forum, but since some of you actually have talked yourselves into thinking Sanu is a better option in the 2nd, or maybe Glenn in the 1st, i have to get this out.[/QUOTE]

If this "he's as tough as Urlacher and plays hurt stuff is true" he would have finished the FSU bowl game this year. Floyd is a baby that doesnt play hurt. That being said, he's an enourmous talent and i'd be fine with him at 16.

Dunno why people want to ignore the injury stuff.

And if he missed a playoff game because his rib hurt then people here would have run him out of town just like Abraham.

If Floyd doesn't have injury issues in the pros then I believe he'll be great, but I think he will and I believe that will hold him back in the pros. He may have a year here and there where he stays healthy, but ultimately it won't be worth it because you wont' be able to rely on him.

pass we need more pressing needs while holmes is a douche him and the rest will be fine add a late round pick or two and it will be enough..........They just need a decent QB that can go through his progressions fast enough to get them the ball.

[/QUOTE]

Exactly! Urlacher finishes a bowl game versus FSU....Floyd didn't. He's not tough and doesnt play hurt. If he didn't return for a game v the pats this board would be on fire killing him.

Again, i also wouldnt hate the pick at 16 as long as Ingram is also off the board.

I am not hijacking the thread with a retort...........I will say everyone knows where I stand. I would however, say I think defense has to be the first 2 rounds at least, possibly 3 rounds. We need to get younger and faster to put pressure on opposing QB's.

Buffalo is not taking floyd- They are going to reach on either Gilmore or Barron I think. That's the way the momentum is going.

In that scenario, would the Jets put Revis on Floyd since he has a hard time staying with Johnson?

i think he would want another shot at johnson a pride thing...........cro can take floyd. If they were smart they would look for a decent ben coates type of TE in rds 3-4 because the jets still have no one to cover te's which is why i think we have to go defense in rd 1-3. I hated coates he killed the jets when he was on the pats.

This stuff always happens right before the draft. Some teams leak stuff like this in the hopes a player they want drops.

Larry Fitzgerald wants the Cardinals to draft M Floyd. IF your franchise player wants a guy , you tend to believe they won't pass him up. So iF jets want Floyd you better get up in front of Arizona. Source NFl Network.

When your franchise player wants a 7th rounder, you sometimes end up with a Scotty McKnight. But I don't think franchise players get to make 1st round decisions. Especially when they are under a long contract.
