Didn't see this anywhere... It's kind of interesting. Basically McShay is saying if the first two rounds of the draft were held right now with what we know about the draftees, who would take which players.
He thinks Dallas would still take Spencer at that same spot. Interestingly, he thought that Atlanta would take Folk in the second round.
Also, he thinks Cleveland would take Adrian Peterson instead of Joe Thomas.
Duh!
Anyway, here's the link. Enjoy: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=mcshay_todd&id=3098817
Here's what he said about Spencer:
26. Dallas Cowboys -- Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue
Original pick: Spencer
An argument could be made for going in a different direction -- either another edge rusher like Jarvis Moss or a different position entirely with S Brandon Meriweather. However, Spencer has already notched 20 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and shows the potential to eventually emerge as a disruptive rush-linebacker opposite DeMarcus Ware.
Here's what he said about Folk:
41. Atlanta Falcons -- [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=8432"]Nick Folk[/URL], PK, Arizona
The Falcons took CB Chris Houston in April and he shows promise, but Folk has been sensational as a rookie and the Falcons desperately need an upgrade over aging PK Morten Andersen.
