Brandon Jackson is a STUD. A good receiver out of the backfield, fits the zone blocking system to a T with his north/south, instant decision making, and ability to instinctively change direction, and knowledge of the West Coast offense.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
Justin Harrell is a STUD. You can NEVER go wrong drafting for the trenches. Or drafting defense.
Moss's agent said yesterday he would ONLY re-negotiate his contract with the Patriots. And.. the Patriots relented on their 4th round pick being conditional.

Jackson could be good; I'm Pessimistically optomistic on our first and third round picks. I'm not sure if we've improved any more than the rest of the division we compete against next year.Originally posted by motifeTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

I'm kind of intrigued with Jackson myself... That wasn't a bad pick. Harrell was risky but not a bad pick either.
Expecting too much out of them for 07 is a mistake, though....
we need to rely on Morency and Williams, for at least the 1st half of the season.Comment

Wow, I have never heard that phrase before, Bretsky. It sounds like someone with a split personality!

lol; yes I made that up.
One one hand I want to believe if TT hits on these he's making us much better in 2009 or so.
On the other hand I want to throw him on a frying pan for not addressing our immediate needs for 2007 via the draft and free agency well enough.
Is this team as is better prepared to be a contender than the 8-8 squad on paper we just saw win the last four ?

jackson looks good when you read about his strengths, but what scares me is the fact that he's never been "THE GUY". he's never been the feature back, and thats exactly what we need him to beOriginally posted by retailguy
i'm not sure if morency is good enough to make this a decent 1-2 punch. seems to me more like a 2-2 punch
harrell bothers me for two reasons. one is the injury bug. he was hurt most of last year with a pretty serious injury, plus he was also injured his original freshman year, and was red shirted, then broke his ankle and missed time his redshirt year. so the guy des have the injury bug. the second thing that worries me is that he is not considered a pass rusher, but a run stuffer, but he's only 300 pounds. that seems light to me for a run stuffer. i'm worried he doesn't have the talent to rush, and he'll be too small to hold up the middle
the wr we got in the 3rd bothers me because he sounds like another driver jennings type WR which we already had two of. he was not the play maker deep theat we need so bad.
then rouse, you gotta ask, is he really better the underwood or culver? reading up on him he sounded just like roman or manuel
just not happy, we needed a lot out of this draft because of our inactivity in FA, but to me it looks like we didn't try to hard to seriously fill the holes we failed to fill earlier this offseasonComment

You know that, and now, so does everyone else...
This team could be good in a couple of seasons. I like that. I just don't like where we're headed in 2007.Comment

I won't call it the most disgusting ever.
Some of the picks were big head-scratchers, but I agree TT is drafting for about the 2009-10 season. 3 years is usually enough time to see how a draft class works out. That said, I think some of these guys are gonna be thrown in the fire. If Jones is a DD clone, that's OK with me...in 2009-10 DD will probably be gone. As for Harrell, drafting for a strong D will the post-Favre years (and sadly, they aren't faraway) in mind is a good idea. This team is not good enough to win without him right now, but in 2-3 years it might be. The in-between will be interesting to watch.
IMO drafting is part art, part science, and part luck. If you have more draft choices (by trading down), you're more likely to hit on one of them, right? Call it the "even a blind squirrel will find a nut" theory. We got a few extra choices this year, so who knows? Let's get these guys into camp and see if they're any good at the pro level before we jump off the bridge.Comment

It could, we don't know yet. It could also turn out to an '00 draft. Guess we'll see.Comment
