Yeah, one reason I was surprised we traded down so many times in the 4th is that I really thought we'd take either Bell, Burton, or Franklin.

Me too, esp Bell after we traded Adoyele to Miami.

But I'm really glad we picked up M Bradford as an UDFA. I think he's got some upside.

 

[Portland Fanatic]

I wish we would have made a move to get Godfrey, he seems to have big upside and could turn into a nice CB...oh well!

Interesting that we brought in so many WRs if, to paraphrase Jerry, none of them wore worth a ****. Maybe just a big smokescreen. Also makes you wonder if Jenkins was really at the top of their board or else they just went with the last guy on their round 1 list when he came up. If you haven't spent much time getting to know Jenkins, how does he vault to #1 on your board?

 

[lpmba1]

Do they just do interviews or do they work out at all?

Othink they just do interviews. Now those players we brought in as "locals" the week before or so can be worked out, etc.
