I hate the Alfonso Dennard pick - absolutely hate it. It is not a good idea to hit a police officer in the face while resisting arrest outside a bar the week before the draft. Judges frown on defendents who hit public safety officers in the face, usually.
Dennard has Albert Haynesworth written all over him.
Really? Really!
Everybody including the draft expert lemmings is hammering the Tavon Wilson pick. He is a mature, senior leader who quarterbacked a defense in the Big Ten consisting of 2nd-tier recruits because it is Illinois, not OSU. That kid is a character guy which is exactly what the young secondary needs. I think he'll be solid - not great - and bring leadership to a group that needs as much as they can muster. It's a kiddie corps back there.
Of all the picks, I think I like Bequette the best. Another pass rusher who projected a little higher and who was the MVP of his Bowl game - watch the video. Impressive.
Last thought maybe for another place: why do these draftniks put any stock into these all-star games as indicators of what a kid could possibly do in the pros? They are entirely artificial and do not come close to he conditions of a crucial game in the NFL. Bowl games and big rivalry games with something on the line is where tape matters, not mismatches and beauty contest games.
Wilson "B",, Denard F"" ??? Seriously dude,, lay of your daughters girlscoute cookies.
