Has disappointment set in?

I think that you and only one or two others are totally disappointed with Porter. I'm all for the pick and becoming more so the more I read and see on this kid.

I am disappointed with the pick....i know that the FO wants to make the best moves for the team overall but i really believe we could have picked up brandon flowers in a trade or we could've actually made the trade for shockey...i just think it was a last minute decision and it was more of a fall back than a true pick

I completely agree with you D_it_up2, the more I read on the kid, the more I like it. He excels in man-to-man schemes because he has great speed and instincts. I wouldn't worry about the "bulk" issue that they claim he lacks, he'll add the weight. I think this was the best CB pick available at the time.
