34th Overall Pick

Also, we keep forgetting about Phillip Thomas at safety. We barely got to see him and he was highly regarded coming out of college.


Richard Crawford also missed the entire season and I had a feeling he was going to be one of our starters as well.

I'm thinking about the last time we had a REALLY great line. Chris Samuels, John Jansen pre-injuries, and that was kind of it. I know you can't have Pro Bowlers at every position, but I feel like year-to-year, we always have at least ONE goat on both sides of the ball. Wilson on D and Polumbus on O (Chester a close second). Remember the Warrick Holdman days? Maybe the worst linebacker who started for us in the past 10+ years.


2005 was the last time I can say that our line was very good.

Samuels, Dockery, Rabach (before he sucked), Thomas (before he broke his leg against Dallas), and Jansen

Ah! Nice memory. I remembered Rabach came in after we had some of the worst starting center play for years. Who was it? Raymer?

Yeah Cory Raymer, what a joke he was, I kinda hope we try and sign Alex Mack.

The draft will be something to look forward to, but I am more looking forward to free agency and the cap space we get back. That is where we will really be able to fill the holes with some quality players if we are careful and lucky.\
Crazycanuck, so how much Cap space will we have to sign an OT, LB, CB, WR?

Signing Eric Decker in free agency would solve two problems right away: WR and KR. He won't be demanding big money and he's still fairly young, only 26. If we don't go to the draft to solve those problems, this is a guy we need to sign.

Why would we have Decker return kicks???

From that list, I want us to look at:


5. Alterraun Verner TEN CB 25
6. Jairus Byrd BUF S 27
8. Brian Orakpo WAS OLB 28
10. Jared Veldheer OAK OT 27
11. Aqib Talib NE CB 28
16. Eugene Monroe BAL OT 27
18. Brandon Spikes NE ILB 26
22. Alex Mack CLE C 28
23. Captain Munnerlyn CAR CB 26
24. Eric Decker DEB WR 27
26. Sam Shields GB CB 26
28. Hakeem Nicks NYG WR 26
31. Brent Grimes MIA CB 31
35. Vontae Davis IND CB 26
37. Jon Asamoah KC OG 26
46. Austin Howard NYJ OT 27

Why would we have Decker return kicks???

Would you rather have Niles Paul, or Josh Morgan? Chris Thompson?

In Decker's rookie year, he returned 22 kickoffs for 556 yards, an average of 25.3. He would be better than anything we have right now.

I really don't mind Paul returning kicks. He's like Rock Cartwright, never going to break one, but runs north-south.

Damn, really bringing up some old school names today!
