How do you come out of this draft without one of the top 7 CB's on the board, a HUGE, HUGE need for us! Let's just start with that.
Right and we passed on those guys and Goff for a guy name Matt Slater.......But that's fine, pass the koolaid please, everything's fine...........
Let's try this:
Cason/DRC or MJenkins and Groves (a small deal up)
or
Mayo and Wheatley
What combo do you like better?
I'm not drinking the kool-aid either since I don't agree with everything done in this draft but how the hell would you be able to get BOTH a top "7" LB AND CB without gmaking your team weaker (significantly!) in other areas since you would of needed to trade up big time (like give up next year's 1 plus ??). And who's stay Wheatley wasn't on their top 7 list??
Kiper & other dingbats are not the kings of scouting rankings that media thinks they are...a lot of 'busts' were declared top 5 in their position in a draft.
I like the 1st 2 round picks. What I don't like is I think they could of done a little bit better with the 1st round trade (get a 2nd instead of a 3rd), QB in the 3rd might of been a reach. I do like the other LB in the 3rd.
Again, like others have asked what would of been YOUR EXACTG draft scenario that should of happened??
Here you go:
DRC/McKelvin at #10
Curtis Lofton (Deal up the 2 and high 3)
Cliff Avril (who we passed on to take O'Connell)
Dan Connor
How does that look ?
Dude, based on what I just said, we're talking about taking McKelvin/DRC at 10 and simply dealing our 2 and high 3 up to get Groves, thus still leaving us our 2 - 3's. Pretty simple.............There's our pass rush and lockdown corner in place for the next 6 years.................Instead we do have stud ILB that isn't going to be an edge rusher and still a very suseptible secondary with no true #1 corner.........
Bad...risky...slow. How's that?
[edit] Avril was off the board when we took O'Connell btw
WRONG, HE WAS THERE !!!!!!!!

Uh, wanna check that one more time?
[edit] I'll save you the time, Avril to Lions at 92, we took O'Connell at 94, he was off the board, sorry.
Avril and Crable are a wash but Crable looks to have more upside.
Few think Connor could even be effective in a 3-4.
I wouldn't want to give up two picks, one of which that was turned into a 2nd next year, for Lofton instead of having Mayo.
The drop off from the "top" corner to Wheatley is not nearly worth the drop off from Mayo to Lofton plus the expense of a high third/future second.
While your draft would have loads of names, I would absolutely not be pleased with any of the value, especially in comparison to what the Patriots actually did.
Sorry, I had meant he was there with our 1st - 3 that we turned around a dealt.
Look, what I find funny is that because it's BB and Pioli, no one is allowed to question anything they do, I mean give me a break..........

Fair enough..............thanks
Well, we're all allowed to question, but like many, you might want to pay attention to the responses instead of getting defensive...many here have explained why, in their opinions using the fact that the FO drafted them, we did what we did, but you still want to cling to the idea that the FO screwed up. Safe to say, the FO rarely screws up - it happens, but it happens a LOT LESS often than us fans screw up with our opinions of who we should have grabbed. So with that said, it's OK to question, no doubt, but when guys who seem to know a lot more step in and explain the likely logic behind the pick, and then you consider that the best FO in the league actually made the pick, you might want to temper your "opinion" with the very high chance that you are wrong and the professionals weren't. And when you start making silly posts like "bring 5 of us in and we'd do a better job" then you lose all credibility and the attitude of everyone talking to you will change because you sound more like an armchair GM than a fan or even a conscientious dissenter.
