I could be down with Joseph.

But something tells me Bing if hes there. Also...I still think Fox is the "guy who picks in the 20's" that told White not to run so he might be able to slip.

It's worth a thought for a trade down. There are a lot of players of Joseph and Bing's caliber in this draft it seems. Lots of value in the second and third rounds in this draft.

One thing that's a nagging concern to me is that we do not have a LB that can defend a pass. At least Spoon was competent at that, among other things. I just can't get past to notion that we will take a LB in the first.

If White was dumb enough to not run, just to slip down some...I wouldn't pick him because he's stupid.

For what it's worth, NFL.com has now changed that story to a team in the teens, although that doesn't make a lot of sense because he was projected to go there anyway. The report also said that a team in the high 20s was interested as well.


And to further blow away the idea that White agreed not to run:
Every slot that White drops means less money for him. He's not agreeing to drop for anyone, he's just that lazy and stupid.

True, but then again so is eating your way out of the top 15 picks in the draft and telling the NFL Network your biggest need area of improvement is your work ethic.
