The Jets skipped the player I wanted them to take but I do really like the Lewan pick, anytime you upgrade in the trenches it's a good thing. I'm thinking waaayyyy ahead here but if the Cards skip this certain player that they MAY take this one player may fall right into the Raiders lap
Not sure how I feel about Lewan... Great talent, but if we resign Howard like I expect, Im not sure how he fits.
The Cardinals who already have a pretty good defense just got a whole lot better. Now some people might question why take a CB in the 1st but they a few free agents and with Patrick Peterson on the other side could give the Cards one of the best secondaries in the league.
I thought that Dee Ford would be a player WW would be thinking about for the Jets pick... he's been "rising" lately and could be a relatively high selection
I considered him, but IMO, he's still a reach at #18 at this and Lewan was far and away the BPA. I probably will feel differently after the combine and pro visits. I draft based on today, not what I think will happen in May.
I will going into more detail of my thinking of other Jet possibilities I considered after they're drafted.
He might be a reach at 21 but I he was impressive in the Senior Bowl and while he wasn't BPA I felt there are other areas GB can get better in with this pick.
I really considered Ford and a few others that haven't been drafted yet, it was just hard to pass on Lewan. I mentioned this earlier, Lewan would have been in the top 5 if he declared last year. In May Ford's value may be close to a top 10 pick.
Man, there's a guy I'm *really* tempted to draft at 26 but won't just because i don't want to piss you guys off, lol.
Big board sent off to Johnny WW85 and Lax for my next couple of picks as I work from 4 to 12 tonight. Have fun all!
Calvin Pryor was the other player I thought might have been in consideration for the Jets pick. I think him and Dee Ford could be legitimate players for 18 (although I may prefer and offensive playmaker).
Those were 2 choices I considered. I almost picked Pryor, but common sense prevailed with the better rated player.
I was really, REALLY hoping the Bengals would bail me out and take the guy I'm tempted to, but they didn't...
I have Codegreen's board...but it's empty and out of players.......I believe Lax && JTJ have the same board.
