True... If Jenkins doesn't go AWOL this year as he did last year, it makes it more palatable. Still need a stud in the middle. There ought to be a few at #44.

Phillips at 44 would probably be ideal for the interior D if someone like McKinney isn't there to bolster the LB corps even further.

Still, I have a feeling SP will start addressing some of the offensive skill positions sooner rather than later.

I totaolly agree. Phillips on the nose and McKinney or Perryman in at ILB. It shores up the stinking gaping hole in the middle.

Well guys alot of you wanted Anthony and now you got him. I hope he works out for the teams sake. I come in and read our #31 pick was Anthony and my heart dropped but not in a good way. I hate this pick. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but there were much better ILB that are still out there and N.E. picked Brown at #32 can't ever say we could not have immediately upgraded our front D line with letting him slip by.Sometimes I think our FO has to much of a good time drinking their cocktails.

I really wanted them to pick Brown, but some "experts" were saying that he was a better fit for a base 4-3 DT than 3-4 NT, but then again, NE is clearly thinking NT with him.

The back problems may have also been a concern for some teams, which made him drop past teams like the Lions.

Great pick and great first day. The next 3 are just as important.

papz · 05-01-2015, 06:36 AM

Can't say I know much about him but he certainly looks like one physical and tough mother hf'er. We filled two positions we all thought we would address really early... which is definitely a plus.

saintshrimp · 05-01-2015, 06:39 AM

I much rather had Denzel Perryman hopefully we still can grab him because we need 3 more lbers. IMHO

I agree we need 2-3 more, but I'd be happy with one more quality starting LB. The next 2 picks are important, we need quality starters not projects.

I really hope I'm wrong and i'll come back and eat a lot of Crow (or seagulls if you prefer) but I see Martez Wilson all over again in this guy
