If Foster slips to the 2nd, round l advise Ozzie to trade up to get him tomorrow. 

 

Would be good value but pass rusher is pressing me.

well said and with all the additions to the secondary we have made this year a MLB or OLB would have been more of a need at this time.

 

You're not using a first round pick to fill a "need" "at this time". You're picking a player who's going to be an asset for you for 10 years.

Note also that the investments in the secondary include a safety and essentially a 1 year deal on an average corner... and we still have our best corner who rarely plays a full season.

Its almost like you guys forget what happens when Jimmy Smith goes down, which he does frequently.

Falcons select DE Takkarist McKinley.

I guess if that's what they need so they don't blow a 28-3 lead then whatever.

[allblackraven]

I didn't say they were a waste of time. I said they're certainly not a requirement in order to draft a player.

Do you really think that the only way they can evaluate a guy is by bringing him into the facility and working him out? Again, we draft 6-7 guys or more every year, and most of them will have never sniffed our facility. 

I can agree with you on that but the first round pick every avenue of scouting and prying should be exhausted to make sure your getting the guy you need. for the amount of money your going to pay him. Now that said yes it is less money than in years past but it is still 7 figures. I hope Humphrey does pan out and can contribute this season and not because of injury or just playing special teams this was pick number 16 that's middle of the board he should be able to contribute more than just on special teams and I truly hope he does. 

[cobrajet]

I hope some guys we like fall to get us excited again in the second.

[rmw10]

Takk has a great story, and cool to see him coming out with the picture.

[rossihunter2]

[gtalk12]

Tayvon is legit who the other 2?

Jimmy and Humphrey gives us attitude and size. They both are aggressive, can tackle well and play press. Humphrey will be eased in but he is no joke in zone coverage. 

[JoeyFlex5]

a run on edge rushers is coming. im calling it now. between now and 32, 3 pass rushers will be gone. 

[reed20]

Can tak mckinley shut up

Cool. Every avenue of scouting and prying still doesn't mean the guy has to come to your facility. You can accomplish both of those things easily without that ever happening.

If the Bills take Zay Jones I am going to freak out!

[Edgar]

McKinley not lacking passion.....

Glad I was wrong on Takk after he was yelling at nothing.

[JO_75]

I get be passionate but he already seems like he has penalty flag machine written all over him.

[hn68wb4]

I'm kind of shocked that Bolles is the only lineman off the board this late.

Dropped the F bomb but love the passion.  Dude wants it.
