Let's see how we finish the draft and UFA's. I'm sure we'll swing a trade or two of some sort before the end of summer - just may not be the ones we'd expect.

Re: TE Jimmy Graham

I seem to have a flashback to last year's comments by us when we drafted guys who prompted us to make these very same kinds of comments. They did prove invaluable picks as the season went on. I think this is a continuation of this trend. And we'll be thanking SP and Loomis during this season for TWO DAT!

Re: TE Jimmy Graham

I've watched Jimmy Graham play this past season. Trust me, he is a beast. Big Physical TE and with pretty good hands. With a little mentoring from Shockely and others he will be a great TE.

Thats what I keep reading everwhere. People that have seen him play a lot think he has the upside of a Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates. He COULD be a superstar if he develops as anticipated.

I love this pick, but he won't pay huge dividends until 2011 and beyond.

Re: TE Jimmy Graham

Personally i like the pick, i still think we should have looked at Linebacker or DT, but think about this, this guy is 6-5 250 pounds, and runs a 4.5 40 yard dash, which was similar to colston. If we split this guy out against a linebacker or even a corner who at the most will stand at 5-11. Who will defenses choose to cover? They couldnt stop our attack to begin with, so now payton can say well who ya gunna cover, we got pierre, bush, colston,meachem,moore,devery,shockey, dave thomas,and now this kid. SERIOUS MATCHUP PROBLEMS!!!!

Re: TE Jimmy Graham

Guys, I love the Graham pick. Shockey can't stay healthy and this kid looks like he can do it all but block. He can learn that.

Imagine our new third down offense:

Brees alone in shotgun with both tackles eligible. We are going to send seven out in a pattern. Defenses are going to have to start employing the dollar defense against us.

Who Dat!!!!

Re: TE Jimmy Graham

For the record, Greg Williams was on the radio Friday, and stated that Arnoux, was better than Aaron Curry. He said that he liked everything about him. Dunbar is also, and outside linebacker. Don't forget about Castias(or however you spell his name). DT is the main concern.

wow.....arnoux better than curry?

i know that any highlight videos you watch of wake forest you will see #43 and #9 flying around

#59 is bigger but he isnt in as many plays as #43

i like arnoux a lot and i know he is real real fast.....but hes kinda small for a LB....maybe projects better as a SS
