True, for those looking at Rashad Jennings, he got picked, but Sheets didn't, who knows.

I can't believe that a guy named "Succop" is Mr. Irrelevant.

I'm not all that disappointed that we didn't touch the OL as we aren't exactly oozing with roster space at that position, but I'm pretty shocked that we're not spending late round picks on a runner we like. I mean, it's a perfect use of a 5th or 6th rounder, and we're just poking around for linebackers who can't all make the team because, again, limited roster space.

What do you think of Sheets? He went undrafted right?

Vinny keeps on saying the draft isn't very deep at the line. I'm really starting to think though that they do draft for need. Last year they wanted to add recievers and walah, 3 pass catchers were on top of their board. This year they wanted to add a DE...ok Orakpo is a freak and a good pick. However he keeps on drafting guys projected to be undrafted free agents and while some of them are good I have a hard time believing that this was a weak class for Offensive lineman, particularly tackle. If the offensive line faulters this year then wait till next year and suddenly you'll see a "deep draft" at lineman.

Oh and on last year Vinny said that they traded down because only 19 guys had first round grades yet Thomas, Kelly, and Davis all happened to have first round grades. Derrick Dockery also had a first round grade. Again I hope all these guys develop but if anything Vinny is a master at bullshit and overselling.
