The reason for the preseason is to prepare the team for the regular season and player evaluation. So let's evaluate the 2008 Draft Picks.

WR Devin Thomas - Has shown nothing so far. Players with lesser ability (Maurice Mann, Billy McMullen) are getting open and making catches. He is not getting any separation and when he does get his hands on the ball, he is not catching it. I expect more out of the first pick in the draft.

TE Fred Davis - Looks very good. A very solid player that is making plays on offense and special teams. He is going to help the team right away.

WR Malcolm Kelly - Incomplete. Can't evaluate until I see him play.

OL Chad Rinehart - Good lineman. He will provide much needed depth on the offensive line.

CB Justin Tryon - Undersized and overmatched. He looks like the biggest bust in the 2008 draft.

P Durant Brooks - It's rare that a NFL team will use a draft pick on a punter. It's even worse when that punter might not win the job. If that happens, it's a wasted pick. Coach Zorn hasn't selected his starting punter yet, so I will save my judgment until then. Brooks has looked good in preseason and I prefer that the team keep him.

DB Kareem Moore - I am very impressed with his play. He may eventually be the starter before the year is over.

QB Colt Brennan - All he does is make plays. He does not have the prettiest mechanics but he gets the job done. This was the steal of the draft. Working under coach Zorn, he may develop into a real gem.

DE Rob Jackson - Looks good. Coach Zorn has a tough decision on which defensive ends make the 53 man roster. It's a toss up between Chris Wilson and Rob Jackson. If Rob Jackson is placed on the practice squad, another team will most likely pick him up.

FS Chris Horton - He looks like he will make the 53 man roster. A solid player.
