#27) Davin Joseph, OG, Oklahoma
Ugh. God, I just don't know. I guess Maroney or Joseph, but I'm not thrilled about either. Fuck it, I'll go with Joseph. I know we could really use a running back at some point, but with a dominating line we could get by with what we have, and we simply don't have an in-line force like Joseph. He's a guy we can run behind in short yardage situations.

#58) Daryn Colledge, OT, Boise State
I can tell that Fasano is going to be a very popular choice here, but I don't think he'd really be that much of an upgrade over what we have. Colledge, on the other hand, has some serious potential and fills a major depth need for us.

#88) Marcus Hudson, S, N.C. State
We needed a good, all-around safety at some point in the draft and Hudson has that home state connection as well. He probably slides this much just because he was playing out of position at CB this season.

#89) Kellen Clemens, QB, Oregon
Woot! Ok, so maybe I'm crazy, but I think this guy has a good chance to end up being the second best QB out of this draft.

#121) Devin Hester, KR, Miami
I was really, really tempted to go with Lundy here simply because he'd be almost perfect as a 3rd down back (great receiver and great at picking up the blitz), but I have to take the dynamic return man, don't I? Ugh, I am so torn.

#155) Ryan Plackemeier, P, Wake Forest
Why not? We need a big boot, and going with the rook could save us some money against the cap over the next couple of years.

#234) Brandon Johnson, OLB (/SS?), Louisville
Fuck it, I'm going to steal rake's idea and use magnus' guy to do it.

#237) Domata Peko, DT, Michigan State
Hopefully we could stash him on the practice squad. I liked what I saw of him, and he's about the only name I actually recognized at this point.

 

I like them all as prospects, but a P, an OLB, and a DT and no RB? I have to think on that for a while.

 

second, behind Whitehurst? (ok, I'm half kidding)

 

I know, I know, but aside from Maroney and Lundy I really didn't give any other RB that much consideration because they didn't fit the spots. Assuming we keep Foster around, he, Shelton, and Goings should be enough if we aren't getting a legitimate upgrade and I didn't see anyone who would be. We don't need more depth at RB, we just need a dependable playmaker. If we can't get that guy, there's not much point in throwing more crap at the wall if you can get better players at another position.

 

27. RB-Maroney
58. TE-Fasano
88. CB-Webb
89. DE-McClover
121. CB-Hester
155. FB-Vickers
234. LB- B. Johnson
237. DT-Jolly

 

I don't know that I would invest a draft pick on a punter when we just overpaid for our current one. It's a good pick, but we seem to already have that position solidified.

 

27. Daniel Bullocks S Nebraska - Too early for him, IMO, but that's where they rank him. I'd have him in the mid-40's as far as draft position.

58. Anthony Fasano TE Notre Dame - Decent enough blocker and good in the passing game.

88. Jerious Norwood RB Mississippi St. - Love his speed, but he really needs to develop some lower body strength to be a complete back. Could be a change of pace back and might be able to contribute as a returner.

89. Dee Webb CB Florida - Solid Nickle who could develop into a starter.

121.Greg Lee WR Pittsburgh - Doesn't have blazing speed, but is fast enough and willing to go over the middle.

155.Tim Dobbins ILB Iowa St. - Somewhat of a homer pick, but Dobbins is tough as nails and can play inside or out with his speed and instincts. Doesn't shed blockers real well.

234. Brandon Johnson OLB Louisville - Practice squad, then Europe.

237. Tarvaris Jackson QB Alabama St. - Could develop into a solid QB with a few years of work. Send him to Europe to smooth the rough edges, if he fails to develop, not much lost.

 

27. DeMeco Ryans OLB Alabama - BPA or some such logic. I really like this guy.

58. Daryn Colledge OT Boise St.

88. Anthony Smith S Syracuse
Bernard Pollard S Purdue
Marcus Hudson S North Carolina St.

89. Jerious Norwood RB Mississippi St. - homer pick but this kid has skills

121. Devin Hester CB Miami (FL)

155. Ryan Plackemeier P Wake Forest

234. Paul Pinegar QB Fresno St.

237. Quinn Sypniewski TE Colorado - sypniewski is just too good a TE name to pass up.
