2008 - OT Carl Nicks

Those were my 5th round picks over the last 5 years. They aren't Pro-Bowlers, except for Turner (I got lucky), but they were "My Guys" and I'll stand by them. The names that I threw out today were prospects that NFLDraft scout currently has listed as 5th rounders. Invariably, players that they rank as 3rd-4th round projects end up lasting until the 5th round. Turner was given a 2nd-3rd round grade, Seward 3-4th, Anderson 2-3rd, Allison a 3rd round grade and Shaw was ranked 3rd round. Carl Nicks had a 4th round grade after his off-field incident (he had been a 2nd round guy). Given that history, we could possibly end up with Eric Wood or Cody Brown in the 5th this year.

As for getting another backup - Ramsey would be the 1st guy I'd look at. He knows the playbook and can hold his own. Just like Sage.

I'm all for "just" trading down a couple slots to pick up late picks. Now if we can "just" find a willing trade partner to make that happen.
