Go ahead Andy.
Good thing that this draft is Extremely deep in CB's.
Chefs fans as well
He's a better fit for a cover/tampa2, but still is an upgrade from what they have.
Just a little slow but just because he can tackle doesn't mean he can't cover
Been gone since around 11:30. I'm going to make the pick in a second.
Kirby...Nice job so far. As a phin fan, I cannot disagree with your picks. However, the D backfield and O line are things that need to be addressed as well.
I thought about grabbing Porter here, but I'm gambling that I can get someone comparable later and I weeped softly as I watched 5 OT's go in the first 22 picks. I think there's a big gap between those 5 and the next few guys. Both spots are on my list though.
This Cason hate is mind-boggling. Guy is an absolute stud and for no reason should be falling behind the likes of Tracey Porter. Pound for pound, he is probably the second most versatile CB in the draft and played so much man in AZ that he is easily the most NFL ready of all the DB's. All this talk that he's not fast, pffft. Just ask Desean Jackson. I've seen it happen not only here but many fan mocks as well, leading me to think that the sheep have really come out in full force lately.
They also have Waters on the roster, and he was basically given a redshirt year. That said, with the OT's off the board and no DT's worth taking at this point, it is a tough pick. I might have gone with Felix here, but Connor would be an interesting addition, and you can never have too many LB's in the 3-4. Good pick.
Who said I hated him?I saw Porter's name through a lot of PM's so I had him on my mind when I sent him to Baltimore. It could just as easily have been Cason. I like him a lot and still think he's a first rounder. He's getting lost in a numbers game this year though as there are a lot of good guys at the position.This Cason hate is mind-boggling.

Just around a month ago, people were slating him going #7 to the Pats and now he's falling into round 2- for what reason exactly? Do people really put THAT much stock in the senior bowl that it can wipe out three years worth of memories of a guy who was battling to be the #1 CB off the board last year, had a stellar senior season that won him 1st team All American and the Jim Thorpe Award?
Please just pick. Please?
If Manningham is too small, and Buffalo wants a big wr, then why not Hardy instead of Thomas?
U of M fan dispelling the awful rumor that a Spartan would get picked ahead of a Wolverine.
Based on what has unfolded you are doing fine Ridge. You got good value for the 22 pick as Chicago will be middle of the pack again next year. Mendenhall will be a great pro and fits the Cowboys offense fine. I agree he isn't a compliment to Barber, but he sure makes a graet insurance policy as you have already pointed out. Still have 2 second picks to look at CB and WR. Heck maybe even a Safety.
Not familiar enough with Buffalo's need, but Thomas would make a great complement for Evans. Can't argue with that pick. The Wheeler pick is a great pick, and as a Chargers fan, I hope that doesn't happen..
Because Hardy is too slow. Seriously, I think the buzz on Hardy is unwarranted.**This statement brought to you by the "Department of Things You Say That Later Come Back To Bite You In The ###."
Isn't that version 2.0 of Dwayne Jarrett?
Interesting pick. Giving up on Jarrett already?
Sorry if you missed the memo.
But anyway, do you know what the Panther's feelings are regarding Jarrett? Is he a bust?
Oh sorry andy, I wasn't referring to you specifically, I just accidentally quoted you. My point stems more to the fact that upon declaring for the draft, he was slated a top 15 pick based upon three years of stellar play in the pac-10. Now I see why everyone is excited about McKelvin and that he may show the most promise out of any DB in the draft, but why are all these other CB's jumping ahead of Cason? A stellar set of 3 practices and the senior bowl? If anything, the Senior bowl inflates the value of DB's in particular because QB's and WR's are not even close to being on the same page.Who said I hated him?I saw Porter's name through a lot of PM's so I had him on my mind when I sent him to Baltimore.

If he runs a 4.45 or better at the combine, his value will shoot up again.
No prob.I agree. He was talked about as a potential 1st rounder last year, comes back with a better year this year and he DROPS? I don't get it either.
Did you trade Vilma yet?

This is how you draft. Zig when they zag. Dallas has many holes and these selections address that. Although I am not a huge Manningham fan it's hard to argue with the value here.
