Can you bank on what others say? You have to check a guy out yourself. My fear was, as stated in another post was, that the 'Skins were scouting lesser talented players because they assumed that the higher rated ones would be gone before they pick. And if that's the case, they need to realize that you have to let other scouts do some of the leg work for you and not totally dimiss a falling prospect because others have passed on them.

Goldston isn't exactly squeaky clean. He has had character issues and injuries.

hitting a cop in a bar fight... a bit surprising, but most teams will let things like a bar fights go as long as the guy isn't a repeat offender.

Obviously, with Blache, they think they can get a DT who can contribute in these late rounds. As for the CBs on the board, I'm SURE they scouted them, but made an executive decision about value here.

Wonder if we'll get another vet CB or two in late FA? My guess is they feel experience is more important there, while at DT, if you have the body (and the will) we can show you how to clog the middle in a Williams/Blache scheme.
