Chris Brown is too fragile, especially in an already glass backfield.

Pat Sims from what I gather isn't coming out and is projected atm to be top 5 pick in 2009. <3 Someone to definitely keep an eye if he does declare this year.

Chevis Jackson- Don't really see us needing another CB although he is a KR/PR too. But I noticed you also have Royal in the 4th.

Royal's stock is rising partly due to Denver's ST ineptness. Reminds folks of Devin Hester. I believe he has risen to 2/3 rd material now. <3 the pick.

Josh Barrett I had hopes for, but the poor soul has been a walking talking medical journal of football injuries.

Nothing but <3 for Jordan Dizon. Just really hard to gauge where he may fall. Might get lucky and be able to sign him as an undrafted FA.

All the other guys im totally clueless.

The tender is too high on Foxworth. That pretty much guarantees he'll stay on our team. He hasn't had a good chance to "strut his stuff" at CB, which is where he has the most value.

The one thing that makes me wonder if we'll go LB in the first is the incredible depth at that position in this draft. However, if Laurinaitis declares we'd be foolish to pass on him (unless the coaching staff decides DJ is a lock at MLB).

Dizon in the 7th is great value, but as BTX77 said, you could end up picking him up as a UFA. IMO, the knocks against his size are unwarranted - he's pretty much the same size as Ian Gold, who's managed to be productive in the NFL. Scouts get way too caught up in the physical measurables... and forget the game is played on the field, not a scale.

It would be good if you could work a FB in as well - that's one position the team doesn't seem to be comfortable with right now. A solid blocker & receiver would be a nice addition.

I really don't like Chris Brown, and the fact that he was replaced by Henry and then Lendale White/Chris Henry shows just how lackluster he is. I see no reason to alter the RB situation again this season, we gave Travis a 5 year deal we should ride a bit of it out, he can succeed when he is healthy.

But I wouldn't give up Foxy except for a late 1st or early 2nd. And why would youg give him to grab another CB? You give up a proven entity for a 50% chance?

I love for us to get Cory Williams, but we don't need to pay $$$ to another RB. We are set (or stuck) with the 3 we have. And if they stay healthy we will have the best Running attack in the NFL.

Anyhow. I LOVE Pat Sims, but I don't think he will come out early, and if he does, he is more than likely to be gone before the 32nd pick. So we need a late 1st round pick for him, ala get one by giving up Foxy.

Also, have you considered the awson depth at WR in this draft? We might land someone great with our 2nd round pick.
