With the picks the boys had and the players available, whom would you have picked? I see most give a B or less grade to the Boy's and I really don´t follow college ball, so I'd like to know who do you think they should have picked to get an A+?

I look at the grade we got differently. Most of the writers and reporters had no idea why we drafted Fasano, had no idea we had to take Hatcher when we did, had no idea Green was the last legit burner return man left on the board and really needed one......I could go on but you get the point. I mean, most critized us for not getting a FS earliler in the draft, when we drafted a guy in the 6th round that everyone thought would go on day one!!! The bottom line is those so called experts all thought we would load up on OL and didn't understand why we didn't. Grade the draft in three years.

've been a Carpenter bandwagoner since the middle of the college season, so #18 was perfect as far as I'm concerned. Considering the offense we'll be running, Fasano's ok with me too, although the back injury concerns me. I may have gone for Pope at that spot. I really wanted Simpson in the third, but in hindsight, I don't know if I'd change anything.

I think they made the right choice for whom was left on the board vs. where we needed some stronger talent.

Perfect analysis, IMO

Well its a little easier to pick after the draft now knowing where everyone went but i would have went like this.

#18 OLB Bobby Carp- Awesome Pick.
#53 OT Jeremy Trueblood- Maybe slipped a bit, top tackle in draft
#92 DT Gabe Watson- Star! Jason Hatcher pick is starting to grow on me though
#125 WR Skyler Green- Great pick in my opinion
#138 FS Pat Watkins- Steal in the 5th
#198 C Greg Eslinger- Might have been our starting Center lol, Like the montavious stanley pick though
#211 WR Todd Watkins- speed to burn, hate the mcquistan pick
#224 CB Anwar Phillips- Good player went undrafted. Really like the whitley pick too.

I was wanting Lawson but since they have said that picking him would have meant moving Ware I am fine with Carpenter. Fasano as well. I have to admit I would have looked at a guard in the 3rd. The rest of the picks are fine with me. I was a Fifita fan and still expect to see him do well as a NT.

Apparently the pick's have grown on almost everybody, especially Hatcher who was the biggest :confused: pick.
I'd like to know what you think of some of the div rivals picks.
