lol … oh man, I just don’t know if I have the energy to think about this guy that much at the moment – actually watched the entire draft

Ray McDonald’s roster spot already in trouble?

This was started on the previous thread, but not sure if you’d see it with this new thread. You asked how many of the picks would be starting next year if no injury issues. The question I have is what is the likelihood of any other draft choices starting.

If they took Everette Brown (or any other OLB), maybe they pass Manny Lawson on the depth chart but I think it’s no more than a platoon.

If they took an offensive lineman, they’d only start if there was injury.

If they took any defensive linemen (before this recent one), I think it would take at least a year before they could get in the starting lineup. Franklin played well enough to earn the starting NT job this year and I think Balmer/Evans get a lot of opportunities to start there.

An earlier safety pick probably gets a crack against Dashon Goldson.

Do you see more starters if the team had been more aggressive?

It’s a happy’ish ending

a) he went to carol city high in miami…about 5 minutes from where i grew up.

b) i’m from miami so this is perfectly ok to say…can we dub him, “the haitian sensation?”

well guys, congrats to all of you who made it through all the picks so far

it’s been fascinating

I think this guy is the epitomy of what I want in a 7th round pick. A lot of potential, needs development, could be a stud at some point.

mandatory for rookies and voluntary for the rest, anybody planning on going?

speaking of irrelevant, here’s a makeup for our total blatant lack of any cheerleading pictures in all these draft discussions

(yeah, yeah, I got really bored towards the end of the 7th round)

overall, I know I’m excited – Singletary sounds excited -

1) top ranked #1 WR
2) & 4) – #1 draft pick in a better draft class next year
3) power running back with an attitude
5) depth LB who makes tackles
5a) young QB who we can see if he develops
6) Safety depth, can compete with the job – we’ll end up with something better than Roman was last year
7) decent cowboy blocking TE
7a) low round DT with upside

and no OT and no OLB – this is going to take some time to digest

I’ve scheduled the various draft picks conference call transcripts to go up in the next hour or so.

A little later tonight I’ll have a recap with my grade and opening things up for even more discussion.

Plenty of draft discussion still to come.

We got a steal with Crabtree, an extra first-round pick next year (or trade material this year) (other people have already made these two points, I know!), and the rest of the picks seemed to be at the right place for their floor (some have said that we might have reached a bit on Pascoe, I think, though), so any improvement on the upside would be a bonus. Just my summary from what I heard most of the community saying. Interesting that we didn’t draft Pass Rusher or OT, which most people here saw as our biggest needs, but I guess we’ll have to hope that our current crew steps up and stays healthy. Next year, in what many have described as a way better draft pool, we should have our best draft in yearrrrrs!
