Fair enough.

I still would have gone with safety for your pick, but that's me. Barrett, DeJuan Morgan, etc.

Example how how I believe Doucet would be best used:

Other than the Vikings gave Madieu Williams a whole bunch of money in FA...

I was amazed over Barretts 40-time. My problems with him is that he is not a great football player only a great athlete. I dont think I saw him make one play in the 1 match I've seen him play. He doesnt play like a 220lbser. Also his 40 speed doesnt reflect his game speed as he does not have natural instincts and his changing of direction is far from elite.

Hey, say what you will, but Barrett is a prime Cover 2 safety. He's one of those players whom I'm not sure may ever make a Pro Bowl but could become an indespensible cog in the defense. He's one of the "known quantity" SS's in this Draft.

He's fairly versatile, because he's a particularly good safety but he can play nickel competently and can even play up to the LOS well with his size. And I do love his speed, and yes, he definitely does look that fast out on the field, so I don't know where you're getting that from.

Like I said I only seen one game, so take my analysis for what its worth. But he wasnt all that impressive in the game I saw against USC. Also I defenatly didnt see him play with 4.35 speed. No freaking way. I would have remembered that. Safties with nice wheels like that are few and far apart.

How much longer does jiveturkey have for his pick?

Until 11:13PM EST

great thread guys


maybe the only thread in the history of the planet that I feel smarter for reading....keep it up.....


love KC's picks, love the meltdown they'd cause even more....

If he doesn't show up by tonight I'll make the pick and keep it goin.

Time to move on, no?

Make the pick, Mecca.

I'd give the rest of the Falcons picks to someone on standby, but it's not my show so I'll leave that up to you and OTW.

Meanwhile, I'm dying to make my pick, so get 'er done.

Based on this teams first 2 picks.....what they've done in this offseason and who their coach is. And the team he comes from......this team will make a reach for a mammoth DT like the Jags have.

The Falcons select Frank Okam DT Texas

I've just been underwhelmed by Frank Okam. He's done well for himself but he just hasn't wowed me as a NT. Then again, not a lot of 2-techs do. I still think Red Bryant's the best NT on the board, and I don't think there's one that deserves anything higher than a 3rd rounder.

I don't disagree but when the picker took Patrick Lee above Pat Sims at the other pick that makes this one a no choice, and I think Okam resembles more of what the Jags DC their HC now would like as a DT.
