Raji would therefore have been a premature assessment of Dorsey, whereas Jackson is the de facto starter now.
Again, to pick Gilbert over Magee is just being a contrarian because they have similar talents and similar size for the exact same position. You can't be upset over Magee when he'll have virtually no transition and won't have as far to go to be NFL-ready.
Let's be fair here; you would have picked Sidbury in the 3rd, and maybe even in the 2nd if we still had the pick. So you would have reached for him if you could have.
That said, I have no problem with getting this guy over Washington. Seems like it would have been the better deal.
No argument.
Nooooooooo no no no no no. I liked the Quinten Lawrence pick because he has upside and he's got the measurables for the position. Slauson is a reach here. I thought the Jets were crazy to take him in the 6th, and I think you're crazy here. Guy isn't strong, can't play with leverage, he has no athletic ability, and he's pretty much as good now as he'll ever be.
You were doing okay with value until here.
You would have taken this guy in the 4th or 5th, so you would have reached shamelessly.
I don't know, I like Shipley, but I don't think he can help us as much as Williams could, who was insane value in the 7th round. This is another player with upside and he makes LJ expendable.
I think Shipley could make sense here, though. Certainly more than O'Connell...
I was rooting for Ellerbe, too, but getting some competition for Barth is NOT a bad thing.
I actually wanted us to draft a kicker, but I wanted Jose Martinez from UTEP. But I just learned today that he tested positive, so what do I know.
