Some comments on the comments.
1. Ian,I had trouble getting on most of the night. I'm sure I wasn't alone. I don't know if it was the volume of traffic or some technical snafu. But it was frustrating to wait 3 hours to finally have something to say and then be unable to say it.
2. After Datone Jones and Sylvester Williams were taken, I had a very strong feeling that we would be trading down. There was really nothing left that was of interest once Jones was taken, except WR's and as we know, that wasn't gonna happen.
3. I liked what the Vikings did with their first 2 picks. OTG thinks Floyd is overrated, but I think Mayock is generally very good, and he loved him. Rhodes was my first choice for a CB likely to be at the end of the round. The Patterson pick was more questionable. Not so much that they took a WR, but that they took Patterson.
4. I thought Buffalo was very smart to trade out of their pick and add more. I thought they were nuts to pick Manuel. That was a huge reach and one they could have likely gotten with one of their 2nd round pick or at worst they could have trade back into the late first round and grabbed him. Very curious.
5. I liked the Jets pick of Richardson more than their pick of Mingo. Still they look to have the makings of a very good and young DL
6. The Dolphins continued to add the big names, but I'm not sold on Jordan. I love his speed and length, but a little too light in the pants for my taste. The same goes for Mingo. I would have been much more concerned if they used that pick on one of the top OLmen..
7. I'm less impressed with our trade that I was at first blush. Our 2 picks in the 2nd are a lot closer to being 3rd rounders than I would have liked. So it looks like we are going to add 7 or 8 new players, most of whom will NOT be household names. While there are still a lot of good WR's left and a few pass rushing DE's like Hunt, I'm concerned that at 53, even those guys will be gone. It certainly isn't a "steal" like some would suggest.
8. Just a suggestion to DI and B2M, since you keep posting the same crap, why don't you save yourselves and us some time and just write "ditto" or "see previous post. I don't know why people would get into a pissing contest with these 2. That's what they live for. They are professional irratators and antagonists. Its not a "discussion" for them. Its a chance to piss someone off or aggrevate them. No rational or reasoned point of view is going to matter, so why bother.
9. OK now that we have three 7th rounders, I really hope we use one to grab the British shot putter with the crazy combine stats. It would really make for an interesting TC. In reality though those 3 picks are really just getting a jump on our UDFA group, and usually when we have multiple picks in the 7th, we end up with at least one contributor, even though none of us will give much of a **** on Saturday.
