Still on the board, but how about Ashlee Palmer at LB for the next pick since they seem to be targeting any position we are not talking about.

I don't know who is on positive drug test list, but Jennings and Peerman certainly seem like candidates because of the way they are slipping. Both were projected as 4th rounders.

[jppaul]

Jennings is still on the board. The only question is whether we grab him.

John McCain, Republican - Arizona.

Another DB. Was this not the team that said they wanted and needed another guy behind Slaton?

[sinnister]

I didnt see that one coming.

[Nconroe]

sounds like a fast CB, like 4.33 40. 3 year starter. not a RB or Safety type. hmm.

[dadmg]

4.34 speed at his Pro Day, 3-year all-Mountain West Conference cornerback. Brice McCain, meet the practice squad.

[dadmg]

I think Coye Francies, a CB who stood out at the Senior Bowl and went three picks later to the Browns, will be a better player, but I can see a team not taking a risk on someone who was arrested on firearms charges.

Overview
Three-year starter played in 49 games, starting 39 … won all-MWC recognition as a defensive back (2007-08) and kick returner (2006) … 103 career tackles … 21 career pass breakups is tied for sixth all-time at Utah … 37 kick returns ranks ninth at Utah while 846 kick return yards is 11th … fastest player on the team was clocked in a 4.28-second 40.

2008 Season
First team all-MWC pick started all 13 games at cornerback … 35 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception … season-high six tackles with a pass breakup vs. BYU … four tackles against Michigan and Oregon State … a sack and a pass breakup vs. New Mexico … one kick return for 23 yards against Michigan.



I suppose we have some Mountain West Conference DB scouts. Could we be looking for another KR to make Jacoby Jones expendable? 4.33 is nothing to sneeze at.

[popanot]

Man, talk about having the rug pulled out from under you numerous times... I feel like I've waisted the last 3hrs of my time.

[jppaul]

Hmmm...where iss our RB. All this talk about getting a RB someone to push the pile, to improve our red zone and split carries with Slaton. I don't think it was a smoke screen. Yet we passed on Rashad Jennings in the sixth, an excellent value.

Whats up with Jennings anyway, teams are avoiding him like the plague. Crazy. I know he has some ball security issues, but other backs had ball security issues and they got picked.

Yes, but they didn't necessarily mean in the draft.

I guess once Greene and Coffee went off the board they panicked. I don't get exactly when they're doing, but I guess they know best.

Why would you say they panicked? If the whole draft was predicated on those two not being there and they were gone... well, that is just silly.

Maybe they got a higher opinion of Moats than we do? Puzzling to say the least...

Maybe they just have a really low opinion of Rashad Jennings. Maybe he's a slacker.

Cowboys got Hamlin and Stephen Hodge? Somebody's going to get hurt in Special Teams.
