The Official 2007 Draft Discussion Thread

does anyone know what offers we had for our pick?

But, this is a waste of time, really.. We can't say anything until we see Landry plays and see how it pans out.. So

We definately improved the secondary, but no one in it is a top-notch cover guy that we can rely on. Springs is our best cover man and he's aging and injured way too often. Moreover, NO corner of safety is covering their man (assuming we're talking about man coverage) for more than a few seconds. I don't know, the improved secondary helps, I just would have liked to have seen us draft Okoye or trade down (if possible) to nab a DE.

Oh I agree with trading down. That was probably plan A and felt it didn't work out, so they chose plan B. It wasn't a bad move though, but probably wasn't their best move. Still, Landry and Taylor together in the secondary? That is going to be interesting.

Landry is a fine player, but receivers will have all day to beat him because we have NO PASS RUSH! Thanks Vinny and Dan. I think I'm gonna be sick.

That sums it up well.

So how many would've been happier with Jamaal Anderson?

Interesting, or a trian wreck?
That first time Landry blows an assignment, his head is going to be on a platter.

i guess im like the most of you . . . wanted the team to address their biggest weakness but cant complaint about picking up a potentially great safety . . . when and if grif goes down it could kill the season

miami gets the player they wanted in quinn, we and the other teams looking to trade down got schooled

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Landry projected by most scouts as a mid-first rounder until he ran a 4.35 at the combine?

I just want to go on record and say I think the emergence of and media insanity over the Combine is probably the worst thing to happen to the NFL in years.

So how many would've been happier with Jamaal Anderson?

I honestly do not know much about Anderson and haven't seen him play (other than in highlights and 1 game). But, I would have been happy with drafting a DE. I would have been thrilled with drafting Okoye.

Also, that we have already improved the secondary (with Smoot and Macklin), suggests to me that it was time to focus on the D-line.
