This is tricky. On one hand you have to look at who's has the least value at the 21st pick. Scratch Talib. He would be considered a steal at that point and we would draft him because of that. On the flipside, Campbell and Sweed would be considered reaches. So therefore I wouldn't be happy with either of them (voted Campbell). Now. Thomas, Kelly, and Merling would be about spot on. These two wideouts bring totally different attributes to the game. Thomas seems to have the makeup of a prototypical pro. I think of Jordy Nelson in the same way: Can he be had in round two or on day two? Kelly seems to be a slower and possibly hurt Plaxico Burress (see how Burress still dominated games at less than 100%) Kelly is a nightmare for smallish NFL CBs and he doesn't drop balls. Merling is likely the safest pick.
