5. KC - Sedrick Ellis
6. NYJ - Vernon Gholston
7. NE - Leodis Mckelvin

I say with what is left I would take Mendenhall, cut Stecker and let it be known the competition for starting RB is now open. After getting down to the 4th string last year having quality depth in the backfield is a necessity. Sitting with Bush, PT and Mendenhall will give the coaches a good idea where we are heading after Deuce gives us one last year.
Really is a nice collection of offensive talent that Payton has put together in 2 years. Really curious if Brees can stay upright all year how many passes he throws this year.

Mike Jenkins.

WR Malcolm Kelly.

Why settle for a CB at that point. Get a top rated WR.

you may want to pick another wr.....

Malcolm Kelly...NFL Network's Mike Mayock is reporting that both of Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly's knees are of such concern that he could be completely removed from some NFL teams' final draft boards.

So here is the point I am making... you can go anywhere and find an area of 'need' if you will.

Jeff Otah, OT
or
Desean Jackson WR

WR would be a terrible choice, bc they are so hit or miss. If this is the case I would hope to trade down, but with all of my Dorsey, Ellis, and Rivers gone I gotta go with Clady if we can't trade down. He will be a great tackle. Very little risk. And we can now trade Stinchcomb who is in the final year of his contract, move Jamal Brown back to RT where he is more comfortable and plug Clady in immediately at LT. I think Stichy's value would be about a 4th rounder or so. Or we could use him for a trade for someone like Fabian Washington. I know Oakland has a weak offensive line so it might work.

My problem with the Jenkins pick is that he is not as sure of a thing as an OT. None of the CBs in this years draft are. A good one will fall to #40 where we can get him. I'm thinking Brandon Flowers.

I have no problem with the Mendenhall pick other than I don;t think it is as much of a need position. I honestly think that if given the chance Pierre Thomas can be a good RB. He has done nothing but look good every time we play him.

Feel free to vent some more Missile, but I stand by my choice if this is how the draft shapes up.

That is even more reasons we should go WR... Make a number of choices one will pay off.
