Dear John,
I saw in your contribution to the ESPN People's Mock Draft that you thought Dre Kilpatrick ("aka Kirkpatrick") was a strong possibility (reading between the lines of what you wrote, hopefully correctly). I was wondering why you thought this was the case? (Heard any rumblings to support this, etc?)
I've been thinking for quite some time that Kilpatrick is the selection as Buddy Nix is big on established SEC players, needs more CB help badly, and sees the WR position far deeper than that of CB in this draft. But it seems like most draft evaluators aren't that high on Kilpatrick, and see him as the third ranked CB in this draft, at best (behind Claibourne and Gilmore). I think the dude is like a super-sized version of Antoine Winfield, he wont have a lot of picks, but he'll give you blanket coverage and can bring the hammer in run support. I basically was hoping to see if there was anything else behind your blurb.
Thanks
