If you had to go Offense at #11...

LF is closer to Blount to me but stronger and faster and much better hands. I have no idea why a team would pass on a young Blount or AP that potentially could be even better than them.

I would even trade 11 and 32 if I could get him. Why go defense when he is going to keep our defense off the field IMO and wear theirs out.

We should not have passed on Blount in the 7th round when we could have had him.

Nor OL L. Colins in the 7th another year when we could've had him.

All the silly GMs were scared off for silly reasons.

I'm sure every team regrets not picking Collins now. But at the time, his agent announced that if he wasn't picked by the second day, he would sit the year out and wait for the next years draft. Between the murder investigation and the threat of sitting out, nobody wanted to risk a high round pick on him.
