LaCanforna thinks we are high on DJ Fluker

[Azlen]

The Cardinals draft board was finished 2 weeks after the college season ended. Fluker isn't anywhere on the top 50.

Then why did they even go to the combine? I'm sure that's when they had their initial draft board done, but I'm sure it's changed since then.

What I would say is: who wouldn't be high on D.J. Fluker?

He is an amazing athlete at his size---he's a mauler deluxe---he has the longest arms of any tackle in the draft and when he gets his huge set of hands on you, you are not going anywhere but backwards.

Wanna see why team would be high on Fluker?

Take a gander at this tape of the SEC Championship Game (it's inside the article)---when i was watching it again today I found myself drooling at the prospect to having RT Fluker (#76) and TE Williams (#89) to the same side blocking off-tackle plays that are a staple of BA's offense. One of those plays, Eddie Lacy bolted through for a 35 yard TD. I believe that's at the 4:57 mark.

I really like D.J. Fluker. I was hoping he's one of the guys that drops to the 2nd. Knew it wasn't happening, but was hoping for it. I do want inside guys, but if Fluker drops to the 2nd you run to the podium.

Imagine the possibility of having Warmack, Fluker and Williams. You can even throw Jones into the mix. But it looks like if we want a Bama lineman in the 1st it would be either Warmack or Fluker.

If they get Fluker it wouldn't be at #7, imo. I think they are flexable at this point. They need to get a substantial good offer to move down.

Mayock and Kiper both said today that if Joeckel, Fisher and Johnson go in the top 10, as expected, there's no way Fluker gets past the Chargers at #11.

There was also an article from a Dolphins' beat writer where he said there was talk that the Dolphins are thinking about drafting Fluker at #12 and moving Jonathan Martin over to LT, that is, of course, if they do not trade for Brandon Albert.

Could equally be a draft Jordan and trade back into the first to get Fluker scenario.

I'd also add that there's a lot of guys that the team "likes" as an overall thing. A scout or general manger can "really, really like" Tavon Austin, for example, and have no intention of drafting him because they, say, have Victor Cruz on the roster.

 

[Broseph]

Fluker if we can trade back and pick up an extra pick. I wouldn't want to draft him at 7th though, would rather pick up a top guard prospect or pass rusher at 7.

 

[Goldfield]

I am a fan of Fluker. But at 7?

I trade back and take Fluker or one of the guards.

Fluker at guard would be awesome.

This love affair for any player from Alabama is reeling out of control. A bunch of above average athletes in the same place at the same time doesn't make every one of them a super star.

 

[juza76]

He said are high also on jj wilcox

 

[Snakester]

I rank the guy as a high second round pick and as a guard. He gets beat to easy as a tackle. I think he could be a road grader of a OG.

 

[Chopper0080]

If we went off of all of the players teams "like" in the first round, there would be 50 players picked in the first round.

I think Warmack is elite, but I also think they are all looking really good because a OL works as a whole and they have a bunch of good players but not all of them is up to Warmack's standards. If they were all the all pros people are saying they are, Lacy should have broke every runningback record in college

They came close. Look at the Georgia game. The Bulldogs had Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, John Jenkins, Kwame Geathers, Sanders Commings, Shawn Phillips and Bacarri Rambo and the Tide ran for 350 yards!

'Lots of buzz' Fluker will go before Warmack

If we do draft Fluker, it'll be to play guard (a la Leonard Davis).

 

[Jetstream Green]

Wait, oh wait here one minute...your telling me LaCanforna actually 'thinks', no freaking way

 

[Heucrazy]

I'm thinking with his ******** tweet he won't be to high on anybody's list.

That is why the Cardinals are so much fun to follow. Everyone talks about getting top round talent on the offensive line. In 2002 the Cards had LJ Shelton, first round, Pete Kendall, first round, Leonard Davis, first round on the offensive line and they finished............

5-11.
