Any interest in Kent State's Dri Archer?

He's basically a better version of McCluster. I don't disagree with the thought process on McCluster, we just took him too high and he turned out not to be what we thought he was.

I think we need to take a late-round flyer on some of these types, they're valuable.

As long as we have McCluster and Wylie on the team, I don't see the point of drafting another guy just like them.

And I'm going to give McCluster the benefit of the doubt with regards to his play in association with Crennel and Daboll and Cassel.

He was a hell of the player at the college level and would really give Geno a Tavon Austin type of guy. While I do agree that he was taken too high and we should have selected Zane Beadles with that pick, I've got to believe that we've utilized him incorrectly and a new coordinator/HC and new QB would be able to get a lot more out of him that what's happened the past couple of seasons.

Seriously. We don't just have McCluster. We have McCluster and Wylie. Enough of these midgets.

We need a #2 WR lined up outside opposite of Bowe, not a revolving door of wannabe Welkers.

If Justin Hunter, David Amerson and Xavier Rhodes are sitting there at the top of the second round, that's going to be a very hard decision.

I'd take the CB there Sac, as I think Bailey will be there in the third and I like him as much as many other wr's in this draft.

I'm also thinking about unloading our third round pick, if we get a comp 3rd rounder for Carr, to the Eagles for Maclin.

You are going to be also looking at guys like Phillip Thomas and Shane Skov at the top of the third. (And I agree that Stedman will most likely be there at the top of the third as well.)

The Chiefs could really come out well in this draft, especially if they get the comp pick in the third for Carr as expected.

1. Geno
2. Amerson or Rhodes
3. Phillips or Skov or Bailey

would be a real nice start to the draft for this team.

He's BETTER than McCluster. McCluster is a converted QB/RB. He's essentially a smaller, less-talent Dennard Robinson.

Dri is a true HB/WR hybrid than can also return both punts and kicks. I see him play and I think "Marshall Faulk".

I'd be looking for a long, athletic TE in this draft...

If you have 2 3rd rounders and could come out with SKOV and Bailey, coup.

Last year was the year to draft one IMO.

Take the CB. This draft is extremely deep at WR.

Skov is nice but I also really like Jon Bostic and think he can be had in the 3rd or 4th.

Reed is still very raw, so I'm a bit hesitant. I really like Joseph Fauria.
