  • maybe they will get Skrine out of the lineup.

    I agree. We got 4-5 EVENTUAL starters (Remember Manziel is likely going to sit and god I hope so), and our 3rd round guys will likely start off as back ups who are used on certain downs.

    But was it really nessisary to spend a 6th rounder to grab Towsen? I like the guy and I think he is a talented RB who will be great in a zone run game, but worth giving up an extra pick? No. I would have just rolled the dice and seen if he fell, and if he didn't, I would have said oh well we can grab someone in the 6th. They MUST have had Towsen graded super high in order for them to actually trade up for a RB. I mean like an early to mid round draft grade high.

    We are is the super lotto round now boys, and we only have 2 tickets, and one of them is a 1000 to 1 chance to win a bag of peanuts. We should do what we can to try and grab another ticket to the lotto, unless someone else with a rediculously high grade falls to our fourth round pick. Otherwise we need to try and move back.

    I read that the Ravens and a few other Teams had their sights on Towsen and that's why we jumped up five spots for him.

    I've read similar things. Actually, every time we moved up it was because someone was a threat to take the guy before us. They had their guy for the pick, saw a threat, made the pick happen. I'm all for that.

    As for Desir. Looks like a great prospect. Projected as high as a 2nd rounder by some. Could make for a possible trade of him or Skrine, or could give us a rotation of 4 CBs that will plug and play in 3 WR sets and provide rest for other without losing much talent on the field.

  • He has the size to also play FS. Looks like a steal for us.

    I think at some point you have to just stick with your spot and take the next guy on your list. I think they are doing this jump up stuff cause there were holes they needed filled and they still wanted to follow their BPA pholosophy. Having said that, they could have still gone elsewhere, and regardless of what was said, he could have still be availible to us. Once again, I like him, I think he is a good player, but I don't agree with giving up picks to constantly jump up and grab people. Go next guy on the list, or trade down to where the next guy on the list at the position you want should go.

  • Did ypubreally think we'd use all 10 picks?

    Better to have 6 good players than 3 good and 7 meh.

    I like that they're moving around to get their guys rather than settling on what's left.

    Yeah, I think Desir is one of the CB's I had highly rated for us to grab as I didn't think we'd be able to get Gilbert or Dennard.

    No, but at some point you have to stop. You want Gilbert, give up a 5th to get him. Fine. You want Manziel. A 3rd round pick for what can be a franchise QB is more than worth it. But trading the 6th rounder to West wasn't a smart move imo, even though I do like West. The teams that succeed do so because they stock pile those mid to late round picks and actually use them most of the time.

  • i agree about the RB pick, especially after signing tate this off-season. i know shanahan likes a stable of RBs but we could have got quality at that position here with our last pick.

  • we traded our 7th to BAL for a next years 6th. With it they got.....a WR.

    Could have grabbed Jeff Janis or Brandon Coleman with the pick.
