As our draft appears to be going well IMHO, I thought it would be nice to discuss other teams' f ups so we can feel better about our draft. I'll start with the 'Skins taking Cousins in the 4th after trading away a king's ransom for RG III. WTF were thery thinking? Their picks were even more precious due to the trade. Who's next?

I loved that! A guy who will dish out punishment. We can always use more of that in the secondary.

Buddy said no TEs this year.

Wonder if Buddy is a member of any Southern "social organizations".

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the insight.

And he'll stick him good!!

Snippet from WalterFootball: "4/25/12: Bradham played well in 2011, becoming the first Seminole since Marvin Jones to lead the team in tackles for three straight seasons. Bradham had 86 tackles with 9.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, three passes broken up, two interceptions and a forced fumble this year. He played well against Miami and Oklahoma. Bradham is fast and physical, but his awareness and instincts can be off at times. He played well at the Senior Bowl and had an excellent Combine. Bradham blazed a fast 40 time did reasonably well in the field drills." Led FSU in tackles for 3 years. Speaks volumes about this kid.

Mayock--Bradham one of the few 43 OLBs in draft, Sam LB who will be contributor on ST. Glad we were able to get a solid OLB. Thought we blew it last night in the 3rd.

NFL Network blows ESPN away. No contest.

Buddy said this draft was deep at WRs and he values draft picks (i.e., no trading ups). So what does he go and do? Drafts a WR in the 3rd and trades a pick to do so (for all of those mocking the complainers that the pick traded was merely a 7th -- can you tell me when Stevie was drafted?).

Al Davis made this pick from the grave as a favor to Ralph!!! Here's a scouting report on him--track guy who plays some football: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/college_player_scouting_report.html&player=36205 Buddy just ruined the draft for me. Too many more talented players were available at WR and where the f is our OLB?

I've done a complete 360 on Martin. Used to want him at 10. However, as I researched, I kept hearing negative things about him. Why use your 2nd on a guy some people think will never be capable of playing LT? We can get an OT with questions in the 3rd. Why not take an OLB who the scouts have nothing but good things to say about? David is my guy. Draft McCants in the 3rd.

All kidding aside, don't you have any concerns about taking a WR with weight issues? Picks are so precious, it scares the crap out of me because you don't know which guy you're getting--sloppy Alshon or chiseled Alshon (BTW thanks for your in put in the Gilmore thread, it was very informative).

Here's one scouting report that disagrees with your opinion: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/college_player_scouting_report.html&player=41798 Found this quote from a paper: "Other scouts have compared Sanu to current New York Giants star Hakeem Nicks." (sure you'll be OK with the article because it notes that Todd McGay believes Sanu is overrated) http://newbrunswick.patch.com/articles/which-nfl-team-will-draft-rutgers-star-sanu Though I don't hold myself out as anything other than a passionate fan, I've watched both guys on multiple occasions (Jersey boy) and to my untrained eye, I believe Sanu will develop into a WR like Nicks. Let's check back in 4 years, perhaps I'll be wrong. At the all you can eat Chinese buffet? Please take a look at this picture: http://mobile.dawgsbynature.com/2012/2/15/2801296/anyone-who-wants-alshon-jeffery-needs-to-see-what-he-looks-like-far

Sure did.

That would make my day too!!! Then we use one of our 4th rd picks to get OT help and BPA it for the rest of the draft.

Sanu = Hakeem Nicks. Jeffery = The Hamburglar.

Casserly summed it up best about Jeffery--stay away from a guy with a weight issue and let someone else look like a genius. IMHO, where there's smoke there's fire. BTW--aren't any of you concerned about the fact that nearly every scout indicates Jeffery has issues getting separation off the line? No reason to take a risk on him when there are plenty of quality WRs available this year.

Don't fret, plenty of quality WRs to grab at 41 or 71. As Buddy noted, this draft is deep at WR. We can get a higher quality WR later than we could have gotten a higher quality CB. Though not the sexy pick we all would have loved, this was a smart pick.

Hope Buddy "Little Big Man" Nix gets it right!

I've fallen and I can't get up!

In return for a 3rd round pick we get to rent Osi for the last year of his contract after which he will leave us when we justifiably refuse to overpay him for his last chance at a pay day. I'd rather draft our replacement for McGee/McKelvin/et al, our #2 WR or our OLB than to have Osi next year (and I'm an Osi fan, watch him each week from my home in Jersey).

Lavonte David = happiness

I'm a trade down kinda guy and barring some miracle we ain't got a partner to trade down with. As I indicated, there are plenty of big WRs so I don't see us trading up for Randle (maybe Hill, though i did have some fun mocking this very move). Fleener is intriguing because he would produce from day one but I think the Gronk/Hernandez flavor of the month is driving up the value of these TEs. Regardless of the target, trading up is going to cost us David or Wagner (our 2nd) and the BPA CB (e.g., Trumaine Johnson, Casey Hayward, Dwight Bentley). That's too rich for my blood!! Maybe next year we'll be ableto afford to make a move like this.

He coulda been a contender....
