inmate running the asylum Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Forget about drafting Kellon Winslow in the 1st round, o.k.? :laugh: We draft DE Kenechi Udeze 1st; FS Stuart Schweigert or another DL 2nd; and TE Ben Watson below 3rd. Watson is a Joe Gibbs type tight end. Intelligent (finance major) and he has a 565 lb. bench press. If this guy isn't a Don Warren clone, I don't know who is. And he is a better receiver then Don Warren was too. Now you "draft Sean Taylor and Kellon Winslow guys" -- get off my back. :laugh: TE - Ben Watson - 565 lb bench press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie5 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 If that was our first 3 rounds, I'd have a very difficult time complaining -- although I'd love to move back just a little to take Udeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redblazer00 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Another good Tight End is Ben Hartsock of Ohio State! I saw this guy play in one of them all-star games and he looks alot like what Gibbs would want. He was All-Big Ten this year and has been a 4 time All-Big 10 Accedemic team. Joe likes his players smart and this guy might be one of the smartest out there. 6-4 265 and ran good routes and blocked well in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Yeah being a Michigan fan, I was always scared of Hartsock. He's got smooth hands, and he is BIG. Good blocker, I hope he's there in the 3rd-4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselfan44 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I could see giving up on a great tight end to get a good tight end if we could substantially boost our D-Line. We still need a Gibbs style RB which hopefully we can get in Free Agency(Duece). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankbones Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 A Michigan Fan giving praise to a Buckeye????? I know it's cold in Ann Arbor but I didn't know hell had froze over! Hartsock would be a great pick, I don't think he'll last past the 3rd round though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwash Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hartsock!! Hell yeah. I'm a Buckeye fan, so i see him play all the time. He's a REAL player unlike that so called "Soldier" form the U I never wanted Winslow... u can look at all the archives and see how much i've been bashing him. I just don't think rookie DL's are the answer sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otdoggpound Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Ben Watson is a beast---He would be a great mid-round pick....David Greene didn't throw to him much this year, but when the ball came his way he usually caught it....Awesome blocker also.

SkinzFan007 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I agree with Ben Watson if he is there 3rd round. I'm not a big fan of Stuart. I think it would be better if we went with Taylor first round. Greg Jones or Chris Perry second round nad then Watson if he's there. DL in Free Agency.

Jay Master Jay Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Your draft sounds a lot better and it helps us fill 3 different areas of need. We need good smart players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I really like Ben Troupe from Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashae Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Troupe is rumored to be going somewhere in the late first/early 2nd, so I doubt he's a possiblity for us.. -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I concur with my fellow Michigan fan, Hartsock is a good player. I've seen him play a number of times and when OSU needed to be bailed out, he came up with a catch(AND RUN) that helped get them a first or even a TD. Not that I'd complain about getting Watson either. I just think people will be surprised that the can't miss Hall of Famers from Miami won't be the best players at their position in this draft class.

Ghost of Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 inmate--good post Read huddlereport.com's analysis of Troupe and Watson and you'll find that Winslow is, while a good player and talent, relying on his name and the Miami connection to generate extra pub. Watson and Troupe are no slouches, athletically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndevivi Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 we need a beast at Tight end out of what i been reading i like ben watson he sounds real awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Originally posted by johndevivi we need a beast at Tight end Actually, we don't need a beast at TE. We need a really smart guy with good blocking and solid receiving skills. Smarts are the most important quality in a Gibbs TE. The only measurable that counts for a Gibbs TE is the Wonderlic intelligence score. We're looking for a lunch pail smart guy like Jon Jansen. Not a "beast."

SkinsNorth Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Not a bad draft scenario, but I'll take Georgia S Sean Jones over Schweigert. I like Watson, the kid gets little pub, but he is probably the best all around TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I saw the Ohio state TE in the hula bowl and wanted him in the second round after we snagged S Taylor in the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 what about the Florida TE, Ben Troupe? BTW S. Taylor if gonna be our first pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
