Ok that makes zero sense.

BleedBurgundy · 04-26-2008, 08:51 PM

Are we planning on going two TE's this year? Or is Cooley moving back to H-back? SS, what were those off the field issues you alluded to earlier regarding Campbell? Gotta wonder what the heck is up with this pick.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 04-26-2008, 08:51 PM

Those who subscribe to the "best player available" philosophy shouldn't complain too much about the Davis pick. I personally think we shouldn't draft anyone at RB or TE, but Davis was projected to go higher.

MonkFan4Life · 04-26-2008, 08:51 PM

Sooooooooo are we going to trade this guy or something ?

Big C · 04-26-2008, 08:52 PM

are we converting him back to wide reciever or using more of a 2 te set?

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 04-26-2008, 08:52 PM

that is the one position that i thought we would not draft

I'm not one of those people. We have much bigger needs.

SmootSmack · 04-26-2008, 08:52 PM

Fred Davis can play, that's for sure. But did we need him there? We can still get Campbell or Groves easily at 51 and the draft is deep enough at DB that I'm not too upset about not taking one there. But I don't know about passing those up for a TE

Blache must be like "Thanks for hooking me up guys"

bertoskins2 · 04-26-2008, 08:53 PM

we will really concentrate on our passing game. fred davis is a beast

XXVI · 04-26-2008, 08:53 PM

Alright, a majority of you people who said... EWW I retract my previous statement.

Chris Cooley - HBack/TE
Fred Davis - TE/FB

Gotta have two good TE's at WCO. No doubt. He was an integral part of the Trojans. Reminds me of Cooley a little, with his size I mean.

Not a bad pick, would've waited till' the next pick if he was still available, and gone after Campbell, but maybe it'll end up like that, just reversed.

BleedBurgundy · 04-26-2008, 08:54 PM

I had a feeling Jackson was headed to Philly.

How could anyone not like Cooley.

To be rather honest, I don't like this selection of Fred Davis. We have other needs, we were pretty set at TE with Cooley and Yoder. Unless this coaching staff plans on moving him to fullback, or making him bulk up to see o-line I don't really see how Davis can contribute to this team.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 04-26-2008, 08:54 PM

great now we cant kick to DeSean Jackson LOL
