Nahhhh he retired a few years back

I'm always happy with us drafting a OT in the first round. More than anything I'm just happy it wasn't Sanders.

I think McCoy could be starting to break down, Ruiz is mid, and Penning is unproven on the inside. But we are set at tackle. I would have nothing against us taking a Guard with a later pick. We won a ring by hitting on mid round guards in the past and you ALWAYS need depth in the trenches. Sorry, but Saldeveri is out of his depth.

OK but Penning and Ruiz have both been a disappointment. Of course Ramczeck and Fuaga have been hits.

Seems 50/50 but I'd say first rounders from top programs have a better chance.

And if a first round Tackle isn't working out you can try them at guard. Pretty hard to try a first round guard/center like Ruiz at Tackle. So draft a Tackle from a big program like Banks.

Well, the beginning of Round 2 should be interesting.

Ravens and Eagles make the most solid defensive picks! Always productive college players from the top college programs, not over evaluated players from small schools. When Miami was it, they took Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Then Marlin Humphreys and Patrick Queen.

Also Jakobe Dean and Jordan Davis to the eagle a few years ago to the eagles.

They all turn out to be what we thought they would. Before the pundits start telling us there are some other better prospects.
