"Ferguson showed up at the combine weighing 312 pounds, further helping an already good rating. Previously listed at 300 pounds, he was considered a little light for a left tackle. Now at 6-foot-6, 312, Ferguson should go in the top five."
Looks like he is probably the best player available regardless of position, especially now that he has the weight to be a larger factor in the running game. Does anyone else think he could be a surprise top 3 pick ?

I think there is a slight chance he could go top 3, but it is unlikely. The Brick is however a top 5 pick.
Assume that the Texans draft Bush, the Saints change and go with Young, the Titans decide that Leinart isnt right for them and Draft Brick.
The Texans draft Young and the Saints draft Leinhart, leaving Bush for the Titans, the Titans get a spanker of a trade down deal and get Brick in the top 5

I think there would have to be some medical concerns about Leinart for that to happen. Roos looks to be solid and you have two or three talented young guys who could step in on the right side.
Ive heard that he has had 2 shoulder surgeries. What did they involve and why did he have them?TitanJeff said:
From what I understand, the once after 2004 was to clean up some of the tendinitis in his elbow. He did have shoulder surgery at age 15 from overwork in baseball.
Another interesting thing I ran across on him was that he was born cross-eyed and had to have two surgeries to have it corrected.
You know he'll be poked and probed a ton this week and all medical risks will be all over the internet if anyone has a concern.

I watched Ferguson's entire interview at the combine, that dude is impressive, he's the kind of guy you want to build a franchise around. I wouldn't mind having him at 3 at all.
True, he is an impressive interviewer. Seems to have a lot of character. I wouldn't mind him at all...if it weren't for those darn quarterbacks.
Don't think the titans will actually draft him. But if they do, I wouldn't mind at all. He seems like a good value pick with few questionmarks, though not a sexy pick...
He may not be the sexy pick or the pick we have the most need for, but I'm close to labeling him my personal "best football player" in this years draft (not to be confused with best athlete).
Let's not assume that all "franchise" LTs turn out to actually be great. Look back at the 2002 draft. Mike Williams and Bryant McKinnie (2002) were both highly touted guys who went in the top 10 and both of them have been busts.
That's not to say that D'Brick will be a bust, but it's not like taking a top LT is any kind of guarantee for success.

however, the ratio to boom LTs to bust LTs is higher than anything else i think.
I can't remember any tackle with Brick's credentials to not be a pro bowler.

Nah, Brick would have been the number one selection last year. McKinnie and Mike Williams were both taken high, but were not considered to be can't miss prospects. McKinnie has been a consistant starter his entire career so I would consider him a very slight disappointment rather than a bust. As stated earlier, Williams is just a lazy bum that was only drafted on potential in the first place. And you know what they say about potential...
First of all, I don't have any reason to believe that Brick would have gone ahead of McKinnie or Williams back in 2002. Sencondly, both of them were cnsidered dominant. McKinnie even had a huge reputation as a player who had NEVER given up a sack on any level.
Now, Williams has been cut and McKinnie has been solid but nowhere near dominant (allowed 27+ sacks in the last 3 years).

goodness how could anyone ever forget tony mandarich? Judging by the predraft hype of that year I figured he would at least be in the HOF by now, and maybe even president of the United States...
Their are no sure things and that is why trading down a spot or 2 to get extra 1st day picks is the smart thing to do if you can. We would still get a stud player that would fill an immediate need.
From an organizational/cap standpoint if we grab one of the top QBs then Mac should be cut and we should use the 9 mil in savings to get more talent. You don't need Cutler or Leinart to sit for more than 1 yr and it makes no sense to pay a QB 9mil for 1 yrs service. If VY is the choice then having him sit for 2 yrs makes more sense.
It is very rare to have a top 5 pick not see the field for 2 yrs. Although Phillip Rivers has done it, but I don't think most people feel that the Rivers/Brees situation was handled well.
