We need to trade Carlos Hall for a 4th rounder and then draft Pat Watkins with it.

I've heard, and read, that the Chiefs got him too soon also but, they were also saying this guy is a first round talent. The Chiefs didn't have another first round pick and needed a trade partner to move down. Apparently, they had a possible trade partner but they were afraid to move down, fearing Hali wouldn't be there at that pick so they just went and got the guy they wanted. Nothing wong with that IMO. It would have been nice to be able to get the guy you want and pick up an additional pick but sometimes you have to stand pat and take the guy that you think is going to make the most difference on your football team.

Tamba Hali was a guy, who 3 months ago, many of us were hoping would drop to #20.
And he did. He slid down the board so much in 3 months that he ended up being projected by the "experts" to be a late first, early second round pick. I'm happy with the pick. Screw the workout warriors. Give me the guy that actually produced on the field, and the guy who gives relentless effort on every play from start to finish.

Hali doesn't bother me........the 2nd round pick looks like a pretty big reach though.

We picked a guy based on his actual performance on the field and not his workout numbers...over the long term I think this is a sound strategy.
Look at all the good players in the league who don't fit the mold, aren't the fastest, etc...

I'm giving this first day a B or B+.
Tamba Hali: He's player that fits where we took him in regards to value. Not sure he's a Pro-Bowler type prospect, but will be a good bookend opposite Allen, and is a legit threat to start day 1. Bernard Pollard: This pick is what kept my grade from being an A. For starters, I believe he was a reach. If we absolutely had to have him, we could have moved down and got it done IMO. My other problem is that he's not the type of safety we need IMO. He's more of a plodding thumper, and I felt we needed a rangy ballhawk. He could still be a good player, just not what I consider an ideal fit. Brodie Croyle: I have a mancrush on this pick. I think it's an ideal pick to groom Green's eventual replacement. This guy has NFL QB written all over him, the only downside is propensity for injuries. Hopefully a couple years of NFL weight rooms will help.

Time will tell. There are plenty of guys who after the draft we comlained about the fact that we "reached" for them too early but they worked out to be good players. It really doesn't come down to where we picked these guys, it comes down to do these guys fit our style of defense and will they be solid contributors for us? And we have to obviously wait and see about that.
We didn't address the corner situation though, so we better do something else in free agency. I don't care what Herm says, a 2nd day corner is not going to come in and make a difference for us this year... |

Pollard will play special teams,as fer say to start. he may also go in out of plays if one of the two safties start to miss alot of tackles. it wouldn`t shock me to see them pick up a corner in free agency now.
