Quote:Lamp is a special player at an undervalued position. I can't see him making it to Round 2. If we traded back to 12 and took Lamp there, that would work nicely I think. 

 

Lamp reminds me of David DeCastro a few years ago. I thought he was probably the most sure fire thing outside of Luck in that 2012 draft, and I think Lamp is about the most surefire thing in this one. Pitt got DeCastro at #24, he's a 2 time all-pro at age 27. If Pitt had drafted him at 10 for example, would he be worth it? Would Lamp? I think the answer to that is yes. If we don't find a way to snatch him up in the first, Seattle takes him I think.

I agree Lamp is going to be a special player, and he is being touted as the most versatile O-lineman in the draft with his ability to also play center. However, in my scenario, Cam Robinson is there for Seattle, and he is probably a better fit for their needs to start at left or right tackle. Seattle also could have taken Bolles there, which might be more likely.


Actually, the guy I have read is the most "sure thing" is Dion Dawkins out of Temple. I've seen a few mocks now with him in the first, but he'd be a great pick for the jags at #35 if Lamp is gone.
