Besides your horrible bias and your draft pick - I agree with most of it. It's looking more and more like we can get either Edwards or Williams in the draft. Coles, Moss, Jacobs, Thrash - all fairly little quick guys. I would like to see a bigger receiver added to the mix. I can't see us going any other way. Wynn is staying, Daniels need a chance, Griffen played great Noble/Salava'e filled the other slot. I don't see us drafting defense in the first round. If we blow our 1st on something that's not a receiver I bet it's either a trade down for more picks and/or a first next year +picks next year, or we go after a TE.
I agree Daseal! I know I was estatic when we gave up the R. Williams spot to draft Champ, and a couple of years later, dropped down to get PRamsey! In looking at some of the potential draftees, it is is hard simply evaluating on size and wt. without all of the input from the Combine. No one can step up and clearly say if this is a shallow or deep draft! But I always like a trade down situation.
Later picks this year, and another 1st with more picks next year is a great idea!

Most definitely. Someone said that Marshall can put on some weight before the season. I think we are building some characater guys and I like the fact he is being rewarded with his excellent play with a starting spot. I mean who WOULDN'T get motivated after something like that happening.

I like the idea of promoting from within, but that doesn't completely allay my fear that Marshall will have a difficult time switching to MLB and adequately replacing Pierce.

wow, i stand corrected, the times just reported marshall is the new middle man? wow, talk about undersized for a mlb
Dat nguyen is undersized. And people compare him to a running back type of linebacker. He weaves in and out, avoiding blockers. It can work, because it has before. The key at that position is instinct and intelligence mostly anyway.

I just dont see us drafting a wr. I really almost think that we arent going to resign smoot, and we arent going to pay big money for rolle, and we are going to draft a corner. If you dont like Rolle because of my bias then fine,b ut this years draft is very deep at corner and we would save a ton of money by drafting one instead of signing smoot or rolle. That or we draft an end. Getting a wr just doesnt make sense for us in my opinion with us signing patten.
NFL network seems to believe along with others that Rolle is going to end up in KC. I agree that we should draft a CB I said it before the whole Coles thing started. Bur to be honest I would like to see Smoot resign regardless.

IF williams and edwards were not availiable at #9 and we had signed a cornerback in FA...then i would trade up a couple of spots and get Shawn Merriman i heard that he weighed in at the combine being 272 pounds something like that, definetely big enough to play DE..which we need. he should have a good 40 time also...does anyone know if he already ran what he had?

He does not work out until his Pro Date on March 16th. He did not work out at the combine.
