I was hoping for Brohm. But replacing Law is good too.

I know speed isn't the hallmark of CB's in the cover 2, but surely you don't want them as slow as possible?

Bennie Pollard had the same knock, though he was safety.

To hell with Law.

Nice.

Why do you feel obligated to tell us what Athan picked? I'd be more interested in knowing what YOU predicted.

**Anyong Bluth** · 04-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Well, I can't say I'm not happy with Flowers- but am I not wrong that Flowers got into some trouble off field? Otherwise, very solid pick- thought Herm might have gone for guys a little later for CB b/c he usually has a good eye for finding good DB's

Mecca · 04-26-2008, 04:52 PM

If this team can somehow get Chilo Rachal and a starting DE, this draft will have owned beyond words.

Nancy, did your husband let you watch any of the Louisville games?

His arm is more than strong enough.. it isn't Flacco-esque but i have never seen it as an issue.

INJURIES are an issue...

Anyone questioning his arm strength, didn't watch too many games.

I actually base my opinions on what I have seen not what crap I read online.

keg in kc · 04-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Flowers fits our defense probably better than anyone else in the draft. And like Kiper said, he runs a half or 3/4 of a second faster and he goes about where we picked Albert. The guy is a good corner, end of story, and it's a real coup for us to get him.

I wonder if this is the first time a team's drafted two players named "Brandon"?

**banyon** · 04-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Baltimore will take Brohm now at 38

ArrowheadHawk · 04-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Thats a Reach for nelson.
