I like Smith. I'm more mad that we passed up Hardy, Cody, and even Britt for Spikes. I like Spikes, but people underrate the shit out of Hardy right now.
Hardy is getting a bad rap, don't know why, he's a great player and I probably should have drafted him for the Bears. Cody is a monster, with Jenkins, I just couldn't pull the trigger. IMO, if the Jet's get Spikes and Smith our defense will be much improved.....especially coverage.
Yeah, I don't see Chicago passing up Hardy for Maclin. And unless he has a terrible offseason or gets injured, I don't see Raji falling that far. Peria Jerry is a 3-tech and the falcons just resigned Babineaux, they need a NT. Pettigrew to the Lions makes no sense, he's a good player but the Lions have no business taking a TE that early But you gave the Jets Spikes <3 and that's all I care about.
For the Raiders I could see Michael Oher with the first pick. I don't see them going for a Wr in the second. Raiders have enough young talented inexperienced Wrs. They need a veteran Wr that offense can lean on( probably get a Wr in freeagency) In draft scenario you laid out, I see raiders going for DT BJ Raji before they go Wr.
