CB - Dunta Robinson
CB - Brent Grimes FS - Thomas Decoud SS - William Moore WLB - Sean Weatherspoon MLB - Curtis Lofton SLB - Stephen Nicolas RE - John Abraham DT - Jonathan Babineaux DT - Peria Jerry LE - Kroy Biermann That is a young, fast defense right there. Let's hope Jerry and Moore pan out. (also adding another DE to our rotation) |

Now it can be told. Dimitroff locked onto three players in the days leading up to the draft. All on defense. End Derrick Morgan of Georgia Tech, end Brandon Graham of Michigan and Weatherspoon. (Florida center Maurkice Pouncey was in the next group.)
Morgan seemed like a long shot. But with a few surprising picks ahead of them — offensive tackle Trent Williams at four to Washington; cornerback Joe Haden at seven to Cleveland; defensive tackle Tyson Alualu at 10 to Jacksonville — Morgan tumbled down. He finally went to Tennessee at 16. What if both he and Weatherspoon were there at 19? “We wouldn’t have made our pick in only five minutes,” Dimitroff said. “We would’ve had a much more pointed discussion. It might’ve come down to the last minute. But we really liked Sean. In the end, we felt the linebacker spot would really help our pass defense.”

If we trade up for a C i'm gonna hurt someone. We don't have any glaring needs so just sit back and take the BPA today.

I wouldn't mind making a move for a play maker. (Tate, McCluster, Benn, Kindle, Griffen). I do not want to move up to get a center.

Tate and Benn are going in the top few picks of round 2, St Louis and Tampa Bay need them big time, so trading up for them is probably not going to happen.

While I would have been thrilled with Graham, I am quite happy that Sidbury is probably going to get his shot to become a player. I thought the world of him this time last year.

TJ Ward ahead of Mays. Odd.
Don't want to trade up, there'll be good talent at the end of the 3rd round.

DT depth, always a good decision as far as I'm concerned.

As far as Peters goes, it's still a head scratcher to me. Don't understand the position nor the player.

Eh.
He can play center, but eh. I like Griffin, but there has to be something going on behind the scenes there. I think WR (Mitchell?, Briscoe), TE (Pitta, McCoy), or DE (Hardy, Davis, Witten, Lane, etc), but it's not a bad pick. Hoping to pick up a couple of ends in this next round, a few good players left there.
