On the other had first rounders like Gardner have only been so so! Then you look at out middle and late drafts of late not so good if not Bad! So you better make picks like Cooley are you are in real trouble! A steal no! A good pick yes!

Jacobs may end up being good (God, I hope so). Cooley has more catches, yardage, and touchdowns in one year than Jacobs has in two, so the edge goes to Cooley right now.

Any draft pick should be judged on its own merits. Was Desmond Howard a bad pick - YES. Was Jon Jansen a good pick - YES. Does that mean we should trade our first round picks for second round picks every time?

best available CB, DE, or WR at 9. if edwards or williams is there at 9, i won't complain. however, i do feel that our wr corps will be solid, and if these 2 aren't available, we'll need to look elsewhere.

Merriman is around 250 (one site had him listed at like 272!), and will be best suited as a tweener, OLB/Pass Rusher ala Chris Clemons. i would love to see him in burgundy and gold...there are several good to great pass rushers in the NFL (John Abraham, KGB, Lance Johnstone, Leonard Little, Adewale Ogunleye) who are between 250 and 260 who have thrived on their speed and power, 2 things Merriman have truly shown. however, it's a crap shoot for him to be a full time DE...

why is defensive end such a big deal to everyone. our defense wasn't that bad last year. yet most of the talk is about upgrading at defensive end. we released jermaine haley, dt. we also have gaping holes at middle linebacker and cornerback. but, we need to focus on defensive end just because. but if we were going after defensive end, i would take erasmus james and move him to defensive tackle alongside cornelius griffin.

AGAIN, everyone is forgetting that we should have a healthy Phillip Daniels next year. Why not give him a chance?

I say Cooley was a steal because of the high caliber player that we got from such a high round in the draft.
