2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion

I agree gmscud, gotta go best player available between the two needs.

Antoine Caldwell or Sidbury

Package Betts, trade next years picks.

Please no. I'm not sure who we would get this year who would be so much better than what we could get next year. And who would spell Portis?

Some surprise picks this round.

2 players have already been picked who weren't even invited to the combine.

A bunch of these guys were not projected to go until the middle of day 2.

And twice #1 picks for next year were traded to get into the 2nd round this year.

Anyone can do what Betts does.

Antoine Caldwell or Sidbury

I don't think Sidbury is going to play LB in a 4-3 in the pro's. He's a bit bigger than Orakpo at 6-4, 270.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm holding out hope we can somehow address OLB and tackle and still get a change of pace back for Portis like a Javon Ringer or Kory Sheets. Betts is uber-expendable IMO. He's not that fast, doesn't have great hands, fumbles too much, and doesn't block that well. Problem is he has very little trade value (5th round pick at best) and I doubt we'd cut him.

Then he doesn't make for good trade bait, does he?

Duke Robinson is still out there. Would be nice to get him.

He's gotta be worth something. I'd take a 5th or 6th for him.

Yes, it would be great to get the Duke. He needs to be on the board for 16 more picks.
