Maybe they go with a cheerleader, like our 5th round pick.

Think about it, other than Dockery, every significant offseason aquisition has been on the defensive side of the ball. Haynesworth, Hall, Orakpo, Barnes. Sure it had its issues late in the game, but was our defense THAT bad?!?!

Well I guess added pressure for the offensive players taken in last year's draft (the WRs, Fred Davis, and Rineheart)

I like Gerald Cadogan, OT from Penn State. He's got good size, and his character and durability are rated really good.

[JoeRedskin]

^^ Bet he's gone or, if not, we don't pick him.

I'm calling a tight end or QB

I agree. There is a lot more pressure for these players to produce, we let them develop, and adjust to NFL game speed last year, as well as some time for the WRs to recover from their various injuries (other than Kelly's degenerative knee condition). But i think Dock and Williams (hopefully his back has recovered enough over the past few years), I like the way our line is shaping up, I think we could have used a couple of young bodies from the draft, but, Vinny almighty decided against it. But, the REAL key, is whether Jason Campbell can take more of a leadership role, increase his play recognition, and start making those throws down field. This will prevent defenses from stacking the box like we witnessed in the last half of last season starting with the Steelers.

ok, given that we did not do any OL help in this draft, and we all know we need more youth/skill there, how should we get that. I know cobracai is high on Levi Jones from Cinci, I second that. Any other names that might be out there?

I wouldn't mind the RB Rashad Jennings...he's a monster. He could be a huge bruising back for us.

Now that the Jags have loaded up at OT they may want to let Tony Pashos go. As well, since the Ravens got Oher, they may wish to turn the timeless Willie Anderson loose.

I think both Pashos and Levi Jones could be good pick ups. I'm hoping that Bugel sees something in Williams and Heyer and thats why we didn't take an OT. Also I think Kwame Harris is out there. I know he was a BUST in oakland but who isn't. He is young and talented and maybe could see what he can do in camp. Call me crazy but I think a change of scenery could really help him.

Anybody else realize that the 7th we got from the Vikings for trading down was the same pick we gave them for Erasmus James?
