What do you think???

Here's who I think look good so far....
Winners:
Seattle - Okung, Thomas, Tate
Philly - Graham, Allen, Te'o-Nesheim
KC - Berry, McCluster, Arenas, Asamoah
Detroit - Suh, Best, Spievey
Miami - Odrick, Misi, Jerry
New England - McCourty, Gronkowski, Cunningham, Spikes, Price

Losers:
Browns - I think the pundits will say the Browns b/c of Ward reach pick
Oakland - reached on McClain and Houston
Jacksonville - Reached for both Alualu and Smith
Houston - Jackson, Tate, Mitchell, Moeaki

Boom or Bust:
Baltimore - Kindle, Cody, Dickson
Cincinnati - Gresham, Dunlap, Shipley, Ghee
Denver - Thomas, Tebow, Beadles, Walton, Decker

Wow, I'm not saying we should be up in the winner's bracket, but IMO there's no way we're in the loser category.... no way.

Haden will play.
Ward will play.
Hardesty will play.

We took 5 guys in 3 rounds, and IMO 3 of them will contribute this year, if not have a good chance of starting by the end of the year. That's not losing.

Sorry, but I kind of feel the way oober does. We have so many holes to fill we don't have the picks to waste on guys with questionable injury problems, I think we could have made safer picks.

How about a realistic look at the top 3 picks; 1.) Harden; nickle back and back up CB. 2.) Ward; back up or on IR most of the season. 3.) Hardesty; roll player or on IR most of the season. The later two shold have gone in the late 3rd at best more like the 4th or 5th round.

Those are the kind of picks playoff teams like the Colts, Pats and Eagles can afford to make, not teams who have never won their own division in ten years can afford to take a chance on. With all the picks we had and where they were at, we should have come out of this draft with a solid "B" grade. But, we didn't get a "B" like everyone else in the division, who had less picks and picked way behind us did, hence we should have taken the safer picks. None of our picks, should have had any medical concerns what so ever. JMHO

I think if a lot of the people on the boad were truly honest and were not wearing the orange glasseas or drinking the Berea kool-aid, they might agree to go the safe way for now.

In my opinion, I think we could've had guys with much smaller question marks. Our picks could turn out to be good, but I don't think we're in a position to be drafting guys with such large injury concerns.

I'd say those two picks put us on the side of Lose, but that could very easily be proven wrong. I wish we could be more comfortable with those picks.
