you should come towards the beginning of the season. it's beautiful down here when the weather is nice.

great stuff

This. He's a sure handed, tall guy that runs good routes but doesn't get many yards after the catch or have the speed to beat out smaller faster DBs on deep routes. He's pretty much exactly like Finneran. Love this pick. Another smart, hard working player.

We should try to get Lang, Peek, and one of those top 2 kickers. Also surprised that Donovan Warren, Harry Coleman, and Ciron Black are still available.

http://www.draftcountdown.com/ScoutingReports/S/Shann-Schillinger.php He had 108 tackles, 4 INT his junior year; 90 tackles, 4 INT his senior year. Me gusta.

Sounds like a great player, and a possible steal for where we got him. But imo the bigger steal would have been Griffen.

Even with Babineaux's possible suspension and Jerry's injury history, I don't understand why they felt the need to address the DT position with THIS pick and with THIS player. Beyond the two starters, we have Johnson, Lewis, Walker, and Jamaal to use in our DT rotation. WTF made them think we needed this guy with our 2nd pick?!?

This is the first pick TD has made since he took over that really upsets me. Not only is DT not a pressing need for us, but I don't understand why of all DTs available we picked him. Every scouting report I looked at points out several weaknesses and doesn't really mention any strong qualities that stand out. It sounds like we've picked an average player at a position not of strong need with our 2nd highest pick.

Tony Moeaki seems like a pretty good prospect as well. We might be able to get him in the 4th.

I bet he'd be thrilled to know how many fans want him to have Keith Brooking's number.

I really want Dennis Pitta, but I don't think it's as much of a priority as C and DE, and I doubt he'll be available to us in the 4th. It's important that we get a good young tight end with Gonzo getting older and only having a year left under contract. Who do you think we should get or where do you think we should address the position?

Don't think it would be worth it when we can still get a good DE somewhere in the 3rd. This draft is somewhat rich in DEs...I'd be stoked if we got Brandon Lang w/ no. 98.

Yeah I'm not at all down on Nicholas, and I'm not 100% locked in on Pete still having as much value as I think he does. I just think considering Pete's role as one of our leaders, he deserves to be in there. Honestly I think it's going to end up being a rotation in the LB core. Lofton, Spoon, and Pete are all very versatile LBs. I think between the 3 of them and Nicholas, we will see some rotating. They'll all get plenty of playing time.

I would love Matt Tennant at 83 and Brandon Lang at 98. I don't think we'll try to get Dunlap...he was arrested for DUI back in December. I wouldn't say that's a huge deal or that he has "character issues", but I just don't think we would pull the string on a guy with a red flag like that.
