Yeah I definitely think we could have got him in later rounds. Seems like a pretty big reach to me when IMO there were better defensive players on the board like Erin Henderson, Josh Barrett, Orlando Scandrick, Geno Hayes, DeMario Pressley.

by the way... its "I couldnt care less"

Sorry for sounding like a tool but its annoying how so many people use that cliche wrong...

Maybe he is saying he is really concerned with other teams.

I honestly believe we could have gotten these last 2 picks as FAs

Great. We reach for a guy who was a projected 7th rounder at CB, draft 3 pass catchers with our first 3 picks, and still haven't sniffed D-line or O-line which our the two biggest needs. Not building in the trenches... This is a bad draft so far for us.

It's cool. Thanks for the grammar lesson.

Yeah that idea is done, I hope they trade for someone! I still wish they would have tried to get Fabian Washington, instead of a unknown 4th rounder.

Maybe they are giving Wilson a chance? I still would like for them add a DE for depth.

I wouldn't go so far as to say this was a bad draft. We addressed the need of a bigger presence at receiver and we have added a G to our roster. CB depth is helpful we just reached way too far.

Im now focusing all my attention to the Wizards...the rest of these picks are long shots and most likely won't be on the final roster

having played against EJ in high school and watching him hit someone so hard, snot bubbles came out his nose, I would love to see his little (well only in age) come to washington.... Those Aberdeen Brother play some smash mouth football

You think we could have gotten a guard taken in the third round as a free agent? What are you talking about? No chance.

No offense but I think you are overreacting. They just need to add some depth to the d-line. I mean last year everyone swore we were going to get a d-lineman and it didn't happen (did we every pick one up in last year's draft?) and the d-line fared well. I think Blache can develop Wilson as Daniel's replacement.
