Ironically, it was just this weekend that I included Curtis Marsh in my Mock Draft Version #105 that I shared with Brother Mayo.
I have, of course, been of the opinion that we don't have an overwhelming need at Corner, having Devin McCourty and Leigh Bodden aboard, as well as substantial Depth of Talent behind them...
But I've also always been of the opinion that there are excellent Talents who look to be available in the latter rounds. Specifically, I was looking to go thusly:
4th Round ~ Curtis Marsh
6th Round ~ Ryan Jones
7th Round ~ Josh Thomas
I would LOVE to haul in all 3 of these guys!!
Of course, the Market will change, between now and then. Hell, I wanted Phil Taylor in the 4th Round, months ago, and would still take him at #28. And while Willie Smith is projected for the 6th Round right now, and I would LOVE to get him, there, chances are good that he soars all the way to the 2nd or 3rd...at which point I would STILL love to get him!!
I'm simply not good enough at reading tape to trust my own observations. My methodology has always been to evaluate the evaluators, whose talents, frankly, DWARF mine. As such, it was particularly exciting to see none other than Wes Bunting of National FootBall Post write up Curtis Marsh, this very day:
