OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Like I've always said, you can never have enough fullbacks.

Re: 2012 draft discussion thread
I think we actually had 4 trades, and while I wouldn't use the term "won" before any of the players have had the opportunity to play, three of them are hard to argue with. We had so many picks between rounds 4-7 that trading a 5th for a future 4th and a 7th for a future 6th were no brainers.
Icness seems to believe that we didn't need to trade up for Smith, so there's some room for debate there.

Having the draft settle in--I'm pretty happy and think we did an excellent job.

Re: 2012 draft discussion thread
I didn't really like drafting a fullback in the 4th round or a kicker in the 6th, we could have used more competition at OG, LB and CB.
