Here is Mayocks thoughts of Molden

Antwaun Molden, Eastern Kentucky

6-0 3/4, 198

40 time: 4.39

Projected round: 2

Mayock: "If you take the measurables of [Dominique] Rodgers-Cromartie and Molden, they're almost identical. They're both small-school guys from the same conference [Ohio Valley]. Yet Cromartie is considered a top-15 pick and this kid isn't. Why? Cromartie played in the Senior Bowl and Molden didn't. But if you just look at the tapes, you'd say Molden was a better player.''

I said that a few weeks ago. Molden also needs to be more of a football player and less of a "track guy" in pads.

I can understand why Carl Nicks is sliding (character), but for the life of me, I can't figure out why Cliff Avril is still on the board.

Or WR Andre Caldwell and DT Dre Moore, for that matter.

Steve Slaton

Steve Slaton, RB, ...fast but fragile. This is the guy we got for the trade down.

HPF Bob · #7 04-27-2008, 10:16 AM

I think this is a good third-down back. I wouldn't make him a franchise back.

I would have preferred any of the RBs that went ahead of Slayton, but the guy is probably an upgrade over Walker and has the potential to turn into a homerun hitter.

Beat me to it, but he IS a homerun threat. Not saying our line blew gaping holes last year, but "Ronnie" had some 15-25 yard runs where he was caught from behind or somone had an angle on him that someone with wheels would have taken it to the house.

I gotta believe that running back and cornerback are going to get heavy consideration with the next couple picks. I've kinda had my eye on Kevin Smith.

all hail the swami...two of three ain't bad.

a Chris Brown type selection with a bit more speed and quickness...good back to have in for screens and passing situations. Gibbs remembers how many big plays his last smallish quick rookie rb, Jerious Norwood had..

Here we go...

Steve Slaton! Fogrgot about him... I'm starting to like this draft!
