[mgteich]

seems fine where we drafted him

He will need to be a STer to make the 53.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

competes for a depth role. I like most was hoping for an lb earlier to upgrade the position but it seems the staff likes ellis as lb2

 

[mgteich]

seems like a reasonable replacement for Mapu

 

[DaBruinz]

Obiazor coulda be had as a UDFA. Should have taken van der Berg.

 

[VJCPatriot]

seems like a reasonable replacement for Mapu

Mapu should have been a 6th round pick as well if we're being real.
