Day two draft hangover not as bad as I thought

I can damn near assure y'all one thing. Kamara is a lock to make the team; giving up next years 2nd round pick, he better be!

Ingram is going nowhere. Murphy and Cadet just became completely expendable. They each had their chances to fit the Sproles/Bush position and failed. They are immediately made obsolete with the addition of Kamara.

Wow! I see a little bit of Sproles in him...

I don't think Ramczyk woulda been there at 42. Packers, Seahawks, Jags, and Cardinals desperately needed Oline help.

Exactly. Keep in mind that Michael Mauti is going through a grueling bout with an intestinal disease. He's lost a lot of weight, and as much as I hope he comes back full strength, there is no guarantee he'll even really make it back.

And Kikaha is coming off another blown out knee. So there's another question mark. Maybe the reason for drafting another LB is to make sure we have solid depth for ST and for backups in the event one or both of those guys (along with regular injuries) can't make it back.

And I don't think anyone needs to wonder about Ellerbe. Good hell, that guy is great when he's on the field.....it just isn't that often.

You mean Michael Mauti? He's been going through the intestinal disease?
