Here's what makes me hopeful: Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers. 3 of the 4 best QBs in the NFL, certain Hall of Famers and all 3 should've been #1 pick in their drafts. GMs were horribly wrong on all 3. And in the case of Brees and Rodgers, like Teddy, they weren't 6 foot 5 enough for GMs, so they looked for reasons to talk themselves out of a great college career and winning mindset. A bad workout trumps years of high level performance? Classic NFL draft.

we should consider Hyde if he makes it to round 3

I like D'Anthony Thomas as a backup running back. He's explosive and he can catch although he'll never be a workhorse. At this rate he'll be available in the 5th-6th round.

lot of trades this round

Would be sweet if we could pick up Louis Nix and Pierre Desir. Also, I'm calling James White (Wisconsin RB) 5th round to us!

I forgot about that guy, that's a good one too. The one issue is that although a workhorse isn't needed, it would be nice to have a guy that can fill in full time in case of injury.

A halfback and a SS are the 2 biggest needs I'd say. I think a SS is a must in the 3rd, there's not enough depth at the position to wait around.

i wonder why nobody wants allen robinson?

Devilzsidewalk · Post #172 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Sat May 10, 2014 1:22 am

and there goes Robinson. Moses dropping like a rock, wouldn't argue with snatching him up and making him the new RG.

Twolf16 · Post #173 » by **Twolf16** » Sat May 10, 2014 1:23 am

I'd say corner and safety. Seems like could get a solid running back in the later rounds, same goes for a guard.

well there goes hyde, and allen robinson

I could easily see us drafting Charlie Johnson's replacement with our first pick today.

This is taking foreverrrrrr! I can't imagine not picking twice in the first round, but the second is so slow, mostly because they have to have these retired pros announce the picks.

Billy Turner is the guy to watch for.
