Best of what's left

[Sociofan]

The two biggest shocks to me are Demetrius Williams and Darnell Bing still being on the board. I know that Bing has a knock for intelligence, but Williams should have gone ahead of guys like Hagan and Brandon Williams. Then again, I was surprised to see Stovall go so late.

Other big shocks:

LenDale White went so low.
Ashton Youboty lasted into the third round (he was projected as a 1st rounder on a lot of boards)
Matt Leinart was still on the board at #10.
Washington traded UP to get McIntosh, who I believe would have still been there at #53.

Just goes to show you that draft day is far from a science.

I like Greg Blue out of Georgia but we have already signed Archiletta.

That Guy: I thought Gilles was a blue chipper. Why did he fall out?

weight/motor/speed issues (they're all related). he has to work hard to stay under 360lbs, he only runs a 5.5, and he's worthless on the second level, cause he can wear out easily. for a team like the colts or AZ he'd be perfect.

ray brown had the exact same issues gilles has, but he was fine for us, so those negatives shouldn't be considered a death-knell. This guy just isn't going to be pulling like randy thomas.

fred matui is the best "athletic" OG left, and he's also polished. spencer gives you the a best of both, but he's a bit of a project, since he only played OL two years, and OG for one. (two years at DT previous to that).

youboty was over concerns he's technique is bad and he tends to get beat deep peeking into the backfield too long... he's also small for run support (which is like the A1 concern for GW when he picks corners).

Lendale was the not running, not working out, and bad interviews.

The others are harder to explain (leinhart was just a talent that couldn't find someone with a need at QB. matt millen had a good case, but detriot fans may have shot him for it. AZ is a nice warm (no snow) place without the wind of other places, which is a good fit).
