I think we could get our 3rd string QB as an UDFA. I am definitely against wasting one of our picks on a QB, but with that being said I think we will end up drating a QB.

The CB was a 2nd team all american...reach...could have been had in FA after the draft? Wasn't Smoot thought about the same way coming out of college?

I guess you missed the Chad Rinehart selection

No...Smoot was projected as a first rounder but fell to us in the 2nd.
No comparison

[Tha Posse]

Smoot was a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Who said that?

Now I remember didn't he have something happen in college that had him fall? But was he a 2nd team all american?

I think Blache can develop Wilson as Daniel's replacement.

Certainly I'm not offended. But I just think we shouldn't have taken two WRs. With all the money tied up in Randle El and Moss, it just seems a little much to take both of those guys. Don't get me wrong, if they both pan out the passing attack will be just sick, but I think D-tackle or O-line would have been better picks rather than taking two wideouts.

I did. I haven't been anywhere near a computer or television all weekend until this morning. Chaz Reinhold? Isn't that Will Ferrel's character in Wedding Crashers?

If still available i think we should pick up John Booty in the next round...We'll get him for cheap and he is the 4th best qb in the draft..I see him like a Tom Brady as far as getting what can be a good player for next to nothing...Collins is old and Campbell isn't proven. He's a complete Qb whom i think he had a national championship he would've been a first day pick

I wouldn't have a problem with that pick.

Do you think this is why they say Tryon can be too aggresive...

Tryon CB was a kick returner as well avg 23.7. Well not started but down the road and learns who knowns. Looks like he has a eye for the ball but his hands come into question.

Smoot was originally projected as a 1st rounder, some time in the offseason, after the combine I think, it came out that he'd tested positive for weed, or admitted to using weed. He dropped out of the 1st and fell to us.
