drafted Stevie Nix favorite player! check out the 07 draft again, its vintage Jerry Jones... Wheeling and dealing landing picks no one wants! Jerry is funny he thinks he is Jimmy but it seems like all he did in 07 was for trade chart value and draft projects!
now someone will post something about Jules Jones to defend Jerry!
Where's your thread about the Ravens passing on WR Steve Breaston, he of the 77-catch, 1,006-yard second season, to take WR Yamon Figurs, who has all of two catches in two seasons? And Baltimore took Figurs, who has done well as kick returner, in the third round while Breaston lasted until the fifth.
Every pick, especially on the second day, is a roll of the dice. Each player available by then is considered flawed for one reason or another and you don't know which ones are going to overcome their flaws or how long it is going to take.
That's how you end up with a Jay Ratliff falling to the seventh round and showing that he has NFL ability worthy of an early-round pick. All you can hope is that the positives your scouts saw when grading the player come through and the negatives don't.
In the case of Stanback, one negative (injury problems) has been a major factor in his development.
