I know about Moore. He is nice but very small. Barnes was not a bad pick, Im telling you, the kid can play. Hopefully Sidbury, Duke or Meredith will keep falling to the 5th. If not my man Follett may really be there!

Vinny made a great pick in the first round so he needed to balance it out by making a subpar pick in the third round.

Hopefully we can make a Horton-esque find/contributer:headbange in the later rounds...

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

Look, you had several needs here and they went with the BPA for their needs, I assume. DB was one of those needs. Then it's just a question of their scouting and board grades. Now, I have not had too much confidence in their scouting, but that's different from saying they blew it today on the clock.

The deeper question of talent evaluation is something Danny could actually fix, if he wanted. Instead of spending his billions on FAs and coaches, why not buy the best scouts? It would be cheaper and have a big impact. But it's not nearly as sexy, so it ain't gonna happen...

They draft more for need then they let on. Barnes was drafted because they wanted a big physical corner to abuse T.O. types at reciever a la Shawn Springs.

I agree but they take the BPA at the positions of need which is a good approach. I'm still scratching my head about Fred Davis last year but besides that I think they are picking BPA at need positions. Also there has to be a reason that Meredith and Robinson are falling. Our FO aren't the only ones who have passed. Im sure Bugel is saying that Meredith just isn't better than Heyer or Clark. And maybe Bugel sees something in Rhinehart. That should give us some hope.

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

The draft is NOT A SHOPPING LIST to address needs because there is absolutely NO guarantee that pick will pan out. The thing is, it's more likely that reach pick for the greater need will 'bust' than a BPA pick at a lesser need.

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

Graham Harrell is in this draft? Really? we should pick him up in the 6th... Brennan and Harrell? And i don't care if they play in a spread offense or not, its COLLEGE, they get more practice passing. But yea, 5th round, maybe Meredith will fall?

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

According to JLC, the Skins were trying to trade down during the 3rd round. I guess they couldn't and took Barnes. Once again, we don't know what happens behind close doors during these negotiations. It would have been nice to get more picks, but you need two parties to make a trade.

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

Just heard on the NFLN some reasons why Meridith and Robinson have slipped...

- Meredith: off the field issues
- Robinson: weight fluctuation and work ethic issues

If they continue to drop, we can pick them up in the later rounds.

Off the field issues for Meredith?? Really?

I take that back, it's just Robinson. So I don't know why Meridith has slipped, but I'll take him in the 5th.

Re: Who do you take in round 3? (Wish List)

Two of my picks i thought we should have gotten from the third round are still on the board, Jamon Meredith, OT out of South Carolina, the reviews on this kid are stellar, and Duke Robinson, a OG from Oklahoma, who is also a beast. Some young depth at OL could definitely not hurt us.
