I think playing 2 strong safeties who run at speeds that need a sun dial would have done wonders for their defense.

You said they cut Milloy to play Harrison. Harrison was already going to start. Can you EVER be wrong? What an Asswipe.

That's just it. For those of us that are disappointed, it's not about who we picked. It's about who else was on the board at the time we made the pick.

For instance, look at the Bengals draft. I like what they did. Also I like the Giants and the Eagles drafts.

2. Everette Brown
3. Jarron Gilbert
4. Lawrence Sidbury or Andre Brown
5. Jamon Meredith
6. Coye Francies
7. AQ Shipley
7. Dannell Ellerbe
7. Darry Beckwith

If you think it boils down to just one pick, you're either uninformed, or just being overtly dishonest.

Yeah it does. We did not take Sanchez. I wanted Sanchez too, but I have forced myself to admit that we were not going to take him. That entire scenario stems around the fact that we took Sanchez at No. 3, but we did not.

Seriously, some of you are acting like a psychotic ex-spouse. IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT IS OVER!!!! Just chill or you are going to give yourself an ulcer or two.

The Giants and Eagles consistently win at the draft and the Bengals just rocked the house.

No team is totally bereft of talent. People were insisting that Brady was just a game manager and the team was full of old players who were past their prime. It's a one year snapshot, not a long range argument. It had 3 Pro Bowlers as I recall: Brown, Brady and Law.

And for some of us, it's not about who we did or didn't pick. It's about being aware that we don't really have any control over it.

Even with Tyson Jackson as the accepted 1st pick I'd tell you the rest of the draft really turned me off with all the value they left on the board.

That's no fun as much as I follow college ball and the draft I couldn't possibly have the oh well attitude about it.

Maualuga is in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI!

That is SO WRONG, I could write a ****ing thesis on it!

That's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is just that I can think of better things to get worked up over than a situation that I have absolutely no control over.

It all hinges on that pick. Unless you're going to sit here and tell me that you had someone on your list, OTHER THAN SANCHEZ, that's worth 25-30 million guaranteed.

Raji is worth it if he becomes what he is projected to be.

I follow it way to much to be like "oh well whatever".

I watch about 15-16 hours of college football a week on average. I used to get alot more worked up about the draft.

Much like getting deeper and deeper into the discussions here, I found I was analyzing the team so much that I wasn't enjoying the game anymore.

It's pretty easy to have an "oh well" attitude now and it makes Sundays alot better.
