Also I do not think we would have done all those trade downs after. I would have loved to have Marvin Austin (even though I doubt we would have drafted him anyways).

edit: sorry just remembered the steelers. but still don't think kerrigan is TOO far off from ayers. and I hated how we manipulated the board. We got poor deals in trading down and trading up.

40 times may not matter much in the grand scheme of things, but Ayers' 4.88 is low enough to cause plenty of concern. Kerrigan can hopefully be a much superior version of A. Spencer at least.

Oh, and the moved Timmons to ILB even though he came out as a...guess what, DEFENSIVE END.
