Anthony Davis played in the Big East which isn't exactly a who's who of great DL players, also.Quote:

I was hoping for at least one CB in those first two picks, or even an RB to go with Gore. I wouldn't have been terribly upset if they took Iupati at 13 (had they stayed pat) and Dez Bryant/Demaryius Thomas with the 17th. Put one of those two opposite Crabtree and you've got one of the most dangerous WR corps in the league immediately, and that lasts for years.
The Big East is a decent conference, playing against guys like Jason Pierre-Paul, George Selvie, Arthur Jones from Cuse, Derrell Smith from Cuse, Lidsay Witten from UConn, Julian Miller from WVU, etc..Quote:

Potential is one thing, I realize that. We can only hope he turns out. He has the skill set, but will have to prove he is strong enough and flexible enough.
SF was not gonna get Trent Willams or Okung, Davis is by far the best of the bunch after those two. Clausen is too small, I am glad SF passed on him. If we wanna go QB, there are tons of options left, McCoy, Clausen, Pike, LeFeveur.
I wont lie, I thought Bryant would have been GREAT at 17.I wish SF took him. He has top 5 talent. Crabs/Dez would make a very dynamic duo, but thats two huge personalities that would clash.
But, I dont like the trade, if trading was an option we shoulda traded up for Joe Haden, but hopefully we go CB in the 2nd round, maybe Javier Arenas or try and somehow get Golden Tate, that would be awesome.
Hey Biggin since you are kind of the SEC authority on here give me the rundown on our 3rd round pick from Ole Miss. I don't get to see Ole Miss often,but I know you follow the SEC much closer than me. Not a bad draft for us IMO,as we're getting some holes filled. Here's what I have on him via Sportsline:
03/26/2010 - TOP RATED NFL DRAFT SCOUT OFFENSIVE TACKLES: John Jerry, Mississippi, 6-6, 328, 2-3: Jerry began his college career at guard, which is where some scouts feel he might settle in as a pro. He is the brother of Atlanta Falcons 2009 first-round pick Peria Jerry, a defensive tackle. John earned second-team all-Southeastern Conference accolades in 2008 and first-team honors last season. He started 46 games, including 12 at right guard as a freshman, nine at right guard in 2007, 13 at right tackle as a junior and eight at right tackle before shifting to right guard for the last four contests as a senior. He blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 seasons. In the last two years, he allowed six sacks and eight quarterback pressures. - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com/CBS Sports/USA TODAY

Size will never be an issue, he is HUGE. Very bulky, very long arms, awesome burst he has a great burst off the line. Uses his body very well in short space, good run blocker but better pass blocker. I assume Miami wants him at RT, right? He is def. country strong, but to be as big as he is he doesnt dominate like he should.
Biggest downside is that he isnt always in great shape. Struggles playing more than 6-7 plays in a row, but that can be fixed. His feet arent as quick either, he can be beat with speed off the edge.
But I like him in the 3rd round, he def. has tools to be successful, and some of his problems can be fixed.

The size is what stood out when I looked him up.
yeah, he will never be lacking bulk to say the least haha
Have never really heard any character problems with him, so thats always a plus.
Also he played against great D-linemen and good schemes, so it will make it easier to adjust.
See Marcus McNeil, Oher, Grubbs, other SEC guys that have been able to come in and play well early.
Jets trade pick 236 and Leon Washington to Seattle for pick 139. I guess they were done fooling with his contract issues.
Also I wonder if Julius's days are number in Seattle. Seattle gave up a 4th and 6th to TN for LenDale White.
