Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3

Keenan Robinson was ok at Texas. Is too lean for the inside and too slow for the outside..should have gotten a safety or Burfict (later) IMO

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3

Wait ... an OLB?

Kerrigan, White, Jackson, Orakpo ... aren't we deep in young talent at that position? Am I missing something? What about OT? DB? ILB? Aren't we in need there? ... not sure what the thinking is.

He's an ILB. But even if he was an OLB, just because White and Jackson are on our roster, doesn't mean they have any talent...which they don't.

Also, look at every good drafting team in the NFL. Position is close to irrelivant when drafting. The giants took Pierre-Paul to rush the passer when they already had Osi, Tuck, Kiwanuka, Canty, and Toleffson. I think that pick panned out.

Robinson will probably have to prove his worth on special teams first.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3

much better today so far. Keenan should move inside, and he can cover really well for a backer. Cousins is a nice plan B. very good so far

So we used all our brain cells on RG3 apparently. These picks make our third round pick look amazing.

4th rounders and below are for addressing depth. Anything more is very welcome, but should not be expected.
