I think that Kyle Wilson may be off the board before we pick (Steelers). Interestingly, Patrick Robinson is being shown as a 2nd round pick these days which makes me wonder about his 'off the field' 'character' issues and the Academic scandal. I haven't followed him around, hired a private investigator, or talked to his teammates, but I wonder if he'd be a good teammate. I'd like to know what he ran for a Shuttle time at his Pro-Day. He gets 'dinged' for his lack of willingness to tackle in the run game (Phillip Buchanan, anyone?) but has the hands to make an interception. Then there is Ghee who may be a better FS than CB and has hands like feet. I'm being a 'wishful thinker,' but would realllllly like for Devin McCourty to be there after a trade down.

On another post, I think Nunu was asking about Drew Boylhart's mock draft. Looking at the mock, he has McCourty being drafted by the Ravens at #25. Wouldn't the Eagles like to trade up to #20 and let us slide down to #24 so we could get McCourty? The 'bad news' is that D.B. loves Linval Joseph so much that he has the Vikings selecting him at #30. First they have Pat & Kevin Williams and now they get this guy! Anyway, I have him with a 3rd round grade too, and hope that one of the 3-4 teams don't snag him up.

1. CB Devin McCourty 5'11" 186 4.48 Rutgers
2. OG Jon Asamoah 6'4" 308 5.08 Illinois
2. RB Ben Tate 5'11" 218 4.43 Auburn
3. DT Geno Atkins 6'2" 293 4.86 Georgia
3. DT Linval Joseph 6'5" 328 5.12 East Carolina
4. S Darrell Stuckey 5'11" 205 4.49 Kansas
