I'm impressed you were able to talk to 31 GMs that fast to confirm he would still be there in the 3rd. How did you get all their phone numbers?

Isn't it lovely to see? Through 2 days we got Duke Dawson on defense. Brilliant!
 
Damn. I really thought Mason Rudolph would be our next padawan.
 
Big take. I know we all like our newest shiny toys, but... that's true of almost everyone in the draft. Every draft pundit loves every single one of these guys and then most are just decent to bad.

Dawson is one of the garapolo picks right?
 


Yup. That fits what we talked about. We needed a versatile nickle player who could handle the slot and provide some multiplicity in the secondary. I'm happy with the position, and I do like the player. Can't complain overall.
 
Justin Reid could make a lot of sense for the Raiders
 
So does the Dawson pick mean Cyrus Jones is an official bust?

Or are people still defending him
 
So Jones was ahead of our pro bowl corner who just got 50 million on the open market?

You're talking about Butler like he was the next Deion Sanders. He was playing like azz in the playoffs. Look again. And I like Butler. So take the CB that was benched out of the equation. I'm saying the Pats are champions with JJ on the field. I'm not saying they wouldn't be champs had Butler played but I don't know why he was benched. And you don't either.

I am waiting on Cyrus Jones to do that.
 
So unless we trade up we are done for the night. 4 picks in the first two rounds and this is the best we can do. Wynn, Michel, Dawson. Disappointing.

I guess Garcia and Cyrus Jones are gone now?
 
The 2nd round was an odd dead zone for LB talent -- every one who was available at #43 is still available.

Yeah, there weren't many pass rushers taken either. After the Patriots' first pick of the round, it was only Speaks, Nwosu, Turay, Hall, and Lewis along the front seven. I'm not really grieving missing out on any of those guys.

On the other hand, you had seven defensive backs taken. Patriots clearly had their guy in mind - the only one they had in for a visit - and felt they needed to move up to get him. Every team between 56 and 63 was in the market for a corner, and two more were taken.
