Key will be this.

Will Jimmy Graham play a full 16 game season not limited by injuries? Ironically something he has not done yet. 13 games as a starter was an all time high for him. I think this was main reason in the trade. saints gambled on his health. I for one will always wonder what kind of numbers he could put up if he did get in a full 16 games with just minor injuries.

Stephone Anthony ?
- was he a reach? sure
-Upside pick? oh yeah no doubt. better risk than SJB in round 2
-would he have been there at 44? highly unlikely. NE at 33 was not that far fetched and many teams inbetween
-Best 34 ILB in the draft? time will tell

Perryman RD2 pick 48 chargers 34 defense

so we will see which is good

Houston jumping us in round 2 made me think they had a good feeling that McKinney may have been our pick in round 2.

Hau'oli Kikaha at 44 IMO he was a bit more of a reach than Anthony. This pick concerns me way more than Anthony pick. This was a big time gamble. injury concerns for me are high

but at 44 both Perryman and Kendricks were on the board.

so here is were i wonder if we may have missed the boat completely not at 31 when talking about Perryman as a pick

For me it was Jake Fisher still on the board at 44

so when figuring a value of the trade i have to include the effect it had on pick 44 big time.

Kendricks RD2 pick 13 vikes 43 defense
Paul Dawson RD3 pick 35 Bengals

Hagan...

You're right on that we'll have to see, but based on existing film, interview and workouts Stephone Anthony blew Kendricks, Perryman away...

Jake Fisher? We took Peat and had Armstead and Strief under contract...

Peat is the better talent and is only 21 years of age as well...

The need to select Hau'oli Kikaha or another true 34 OLB was at critical mass in this draft...

If anything, I could argue we should have moved up to get Beasley and taken Fisher in the second round, but even you as well as paid experts and most of the NFL fanbase expected Fisher to go in the first round...

Know I'm usually beating up Sean Mickey for their terrible drafts, but with Ireland in there, I really like what's transpired...

Can't wait to see what the competition does for the OT position...

My best case scenario, Peat beats out Armstead who beats out Strief; Peat at the LT position, Armstead at the RT position and Strief is the best reserve in the league and they all get a ring this year...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
