You know those videos made of fighter pilots who have been captured and are forced to read statements by their captors? This is how Haley comes off on camera. No eye contact, and all screen charisma of a colonoscopy.

Not the end-all/be-all, of course; this fact has nothing to do with coaching ability. For instance, Belichick makes Britt Hume look like Tony Robbins. But it's still painful to watch.

I don't hate the fact that Pioli wants to draft the D-Line up first and that he took a 3-4 end. I just don't think Tyson Jackson is going to be that good of a pro.

Time will tell. Still got an entire day 2 to roll with also.

Good shit, too; by the look of it ;)

One question:

How can anyone seriously say they are ecstatic or dissappointed with this pick until at least 2011?

He damn well better be.

Speaking of Dallas DE, it kind of ticks me off we didn't make a harder push for Chris Canty.

I love the way he looks, it's like "let me get this ****ing interview over with so I can get back to scripting the first series for the ****ing Ravens game".

I'll be honest I know I'm guilty of this Jackson has been on TV alot as a high profile player especially with as high as Dorsey went last year..

The thing you find yourself doing atleast I know I did is, who is this fat ****er playing end that can't get any sacks? Then of course we don't factor in he's a 300lb dude playing 4-3 end and he won't do that here.

Nope, the whole day has been a complete "bleh".

Well, we pretty much have our ends locked up now with LSU linemen. Dorsey on one end and Jackson on the other.

I don't think Dorsey fits as an end...I think they're gonna try him at NT to see if he can do it or not this year.

A couple guys like him are going to get a chance to see if they have roles in the defense this year.

Who else were you going to pay?

Aaron Curry would have gotten more than Derrick Thomas. Eugene Monroe would have gotten more than Willie Roaf.

It's the nature of the draft, we were going to overpay for anybody we picked.

At least we got SOME value out of the pick.

Yep. I think alot of guys are going to line up in positions that we think "WTF".

Some of them will probably work and some won't.

Just the way it is.

Dorsey isn't a two-gapper and he works well in space. He fits the 5-tech profile far more than the Nose, imo.

I didn't say it would work but that's what I think they're gonna try.

Wouldn't be surprised if they took Jarron Gilbert tomorrow to be the other end.

If Dorsey bombed they could take Terrence Cody next year.

These last two years have been kinda similar to 88/89. Both top 5 picks, and the second year was when the new regime came in.
