2011 NFL Draft
Author: Aaron JAndrew’s bust flags:
1. QB Cam Newton
2. LB Von Miller
3. QB Christian Ponder – while Andrew hates this pick (and I think he was picked to early at 12th overall) I think he’ll be decent if he doesn’t have to start in week 1. Now Leslie Frazier can move Joe Webb to WR where he belongs.
4. DE Robert Quinn
5. C Mike Pouncey
6. DT Corey Liuget
7. CB Prince Amukamura (?!)
8. G Danny Watkins
9. DE Cameron Jordan
10. WR Jonathan Baldwin
11. CB Jimmy Smith
Aaron’s bust flags:
1. DE Robert Quinn
2. QB Jake Locker
3. G Danny Watkins
4. WR AJ Green – after thinking it over a bit, I added Green to the list. I think the Bengals is one of the worst teams to play for, and they really needed a QB. Who’s going to throw the ball to AJ Green? Carson Palmer is a good backup but his starting days are over. Jordan Palmer is garbage and JT O’Sullivan is pretty bad as well. As far as receiving skills, I would have taken Julio Jones any day.
Late (4-7) round steals:
4-4 – OL Clint Boling, Georgia (Cincinnati Bengals)
4-7 – TE Luke Stocker, Tennessee (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
4-9 – DT Christian Ballard, Iowa (Minnesota Vikings)
4-16 – CB Chmdi Chekwa, Ohio State (Oakland Raiders)
4-26 – WR Tandon Doss, Indiana (Baltimore Ravens) – the fact that the Ravens just drafted TWO good receivers (Doss and Torrey Smith from Maryland) means they probably won’t resign TJ Houshmandzadeh.
4-28 – RB Taiwan Jones, Eastern Washington (Oakland Raiders)
5-1 – RB Johnny White, North Carolina (Buffalo Bills)
5-7 – OL Marcus Cannon, TCU (New England Patriots)
5-8 – CB Brandon Burton, Utah (Minnesota Vikings)
5-10 – TE DJ Williams, Arkansas (Green Bay Packers)
5-14 – RB Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State (Atlanta Falcons)
5-20 – S Ahmad Black, Florida (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
6-3 – OT DeMarcus Love, Arkansas (Minnesota Vikings)
6-6 – LB Quan Sturdivant, North Carolina (Arizona Cardinals)
6-33 – S Tyler Sash, Iowa (New York Giants)
7-41 – OL Lee Ziemba, Auburn (Carolina Panthers)
