Buddy said at his press conference that they'll be bringing in a FA. Didn't name any names, however...

Buddy say's he's a kickoff man (can supposedly put it through the uprights from the 35). Said if they can get a touchback on every kick, the guy's worth having on the gameday roster...

Yet another Jersey I'd buy...

Sorry, he went to the Colts...

Yeah, and he's a real dick, to boot...

Google is your friend. There's a lot more out there than YouTube highlights. And, as Bill Parcels says, go by what you see, not what you read...

Just put down the draft guides and back away from the Internet. Then go and watch some video of the guys (actual games rather than highlight clips), if possible...

No doubt. But these picks are "that's the ticket" prospects that you don't get the impression were picked out of a draft guide. Smart, tough, battle tested kids that played against some of the best competition in the country and shouldn't be intimidated about playing on Sundays. It's a welcome feeling, even if there's a lot of football to be played before we know what we truely have...

I'd buy that jersey...

By all means...

Director of Player Personnel Doug Whaley and Director of College Scouting Chuck Cook--nice draft board for a pair of "rookies." (Gee, I sort of remember this tingly feeling I used to get after the draft back in the late'80s...)

No wonder they made these guys available to WGR. Not like they were doing anything at the time...

Agreed. The NFL game is just too big a jump for him. That fault probably would have been detected by a good scout like Buddy, but not in the year from hell under Russ Brandon as GM and Tom (I'm semi retired) Modrak....

[/url] Right you are...

Token bone thrown to the west coast scouting staff...

Jasper's replacement on the practice squad! Has some medical (hip) issues, but he's a tough mauler in the mold of the other guys they're collecting in this draft class...

What do you mean! He's so fast he was lining up for the next play...

Really? Horny Toad was a better provocateur...

Wow! He must be plenty tough then, since he had 12 starts and was the Mountain West Conference defensive player of the year....

Nickle or dime backs. Those guys are on the field about 50% of the time...

I wonder if we could get a 7th for McLuv'n. Seems clear he's not part of even the near-term plan...

How any of the other CBs taken in this round (or earlier) could have started at LSU as well?

Cool to listen to his coach's evaluation right after the pick. That description sounded great.

Just switched....

Brutal today...
