Great. We reach for a guy who was a projected 7th rounder at CB, draft 3 pass catchers with our first 3 picks, and still haven't sniffed D-line or O-line which are the two biggest needs. Not building in the trenches... This is a bad draft so far for us.

No offense but I think you are overreacting. They just need to add some depth to the d-line. I mean last year everyone swore we were going to get a d-lineman and it didn't happen (did we every pick one up in last year's draft?) and the d-line fared well. I think Blache can develop Wilson as Daniel's replacement.

Certainly I'm not offended. But I just think we shouldn't have taken two WRs. With all the money tied up in Randle El and Moss, it just seems a little much to take both of those guys. Don't get me wrong, if they both pan out the passing attack will be just sick, but I think D-tackle or O-line would have been better picks rather than taking two wideouts.

I guess you missed the Chad Rinehart selection

Smoot was a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Now I remember didn't he have something happen in college that had him fall? But was he a 2nd team all american?

Smoot was originally projected as a 1st rounder, some time in the offseason, after the combine I think, it came out that he'd tested positive for weed, or admitted to using weed. He dropped out of the 1st and fell to us.

I did. I haven't been anywhere near a computer or television all weekend until this morning. Chaz Reinhold? Isn't that Will Ferrel's character in Wedding Crashers?
