I began yelling in round two. Not because I didn't like Harper, but because I felt if he was the guy we wanted...we could have traded down again, picked up more picks, & still got the guy. Jahri Evans in the 4th through me for a loop. I think we could have snagged him later also. The Ninkovich pick...I'm still torn. I mean he's a solid 5th round pick, but did we really need another DE? Hello....LB? Rounds 6 & 7 were wonderful. They were all steals in the late rounds. I initially hated the Josh Lay pick, but then I found out three things about him. (1) He's a student of the game with tremendous work ethic. (2) He's progresses every year he's played CB. (3) And the kicker.....he's Ty Law's cousin. What better CB to learn from than Ty Law!!!

To sum it up, we came in the ring & got a 1st round knockdown. We took some punches in rounds 2-5, but we came back with a flurry in the late rounds. I give Payton & crew a B- to C+.

I like the guys we acquired in the trades. I only wonder how many years Hollis Thomas has left.
