Also much thanks goes to the people who posted the videos in the draft thread and the RideOrDie who found the Riley video.

Yeah, especially finding Morris tape, because this kid regularly pancakes a defender and he could easily replace Sellers at FB next yr.

That's good work Dirtbag. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

I like our 6th & 7th round picks.

Morris - A FB with good hands should be huge in the MS/KS offense, especially in short yardage/+10-GL situations.

Austin - Will hep our return game. 2nd team All-PAC 10 kick returner.

Cook - versatile depth for OL can play all 3 line positions. Good size at 318, but physically limited and weak (19 reps).

Capers - excellent value in the 7th. Good speed, quickness. Good T depth and will push Heyer at RT. Also weak up top (19 reps).

I know the Zone Blocking scheme values speed/quickness over strength, but either the FO/coaching staff has great confidence in our strength & conditioning team, or these guys just don't care how strong O-linemen are. The guys we drafted late are below average in the upper body (with Williams being about average).

I wish that we had gotten a dynamic new tailback. I was hoping that we could grab McKnight or Dixon to knock one of the Galloping Geriatrics off of the roster.

Otherwise I think the FO did a pretty good job.

Good job considering we had 5-6 picks. I love the Williams pick, the other guys may or may not make this team. Glad jc got his chance to play elsewhere. Honestly we had the best 2nd round pick this yr (mcnabb) lol so I'm happy. Maybe bring in another wr, maybe not we will see. I guess big al and Rogers are staying put.

What can I say, I love the draft. This is like Christmas for me. I think that this is the first time I've been able to spend the whole draft on thewarpath since I couldn't make it home to Atlanta and fortunately a lot of you guys helped fill the void.

Of course this is the best draft that's come along in a while mainly because we didn't have to worry about seeing this afterwards:

Jeez... Seeing that just emphasizes that we never had a chance with him here.

I feel bad for the Jag and Bills fans. They have to go out of their way to defend their front office decision makers and convince themselves that they know what they're doing. And while it is most likely that GM's forget more in a day then a fan learns in a lifetime the fact remains that they don't always make good decisions and sometimes thats obvious even to the fans.

No one wants to invest a bunch of time following their team in the offseason and feel like the their GM doesn't know what he's doing but unfortunately sometimes you don't get much of a choice.

Vinny just never focused on the right things. I am not as down on him as some, I would actually argue that his draft record wasn't that bad. However, the radio show, the moronic comments, the goofy laugh, the trbl picks thrown away on castaways...when you add it all up, he just isn't the guy who you want making critical decisions.

Mel Kiper is that you?

This draft helped me to realize not to make judgments until you have seen the whole body of work.

At the time of the Morris pick, I was pretty down that a WR and OL were being addressed. Now seeing the complete body of work, I would grade this a B. I feel there is only one true starter as of right now(Williams), but there is potential for 3 more guys to start later this year or by 2011(Riley, Morris, & Capers).

Austin is basically the same size as Dexter Jackson. I think 175 is a tad under weight, but Steve Smith is only 185 and two inches shorter. I am sure he will fill out some, and could hopefully add a spark to the return game. Cook is a big dude, and has played all over the line. Versatile olinemen is a lesson learned the hard way last year, and even though we have new coaches, they got the memo. If not, they were only 7th rounders.

[drew54]

I know 19 reps could be called weak up top, but these guys have some thick legs.

[SkinzWin]

Dennis Morris is nasty. I do not think it would be a stretch to say we will probably have one of, if not the, best TE groups in the league next year.

[GusFrerotte]

Allen salvaged the draft in the last day for sure. At least we addressed needs and seemed to shore up our O line nicely. Wish Austin was a bigger guy though.
