You see what's happening, right, in skipping over the Gabe Watsons and Ko Simpsons of the draft? Teddy is staying true to his word - he wants good people in the locker room. Let Denny Green try to motivate a lazy, underacheiving defensive tackle (we already have one of those in Donnell Washington, anyway). Let the Falcons deal with a talented a--hole like Jimmy Williams.
In fact, in the reading I"ve done about the draft this year, this emphasis on character is a new trend around the league."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I'm not sure how much attention Ted pays to other peoples board. It'd just be guesswork anyway. And at this stage in the draft players really shouldn't be called a reach. They are all obscure for one reason or another.Originally posted by GuinessComment

I'm NAIVE on this; was Ko Simpson considered a character risk ? I know of Watson, but I thought Simpson was just fine attitude wise ??Originally posted by FritzTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

ESPN shows we picked Sowells at 112? Is that a misprint?Comment

yes, phiily took him with the pick we traded them.Originally posted by Scott CampbellComment

Now there is a great pick!
Will Blackmon a man without a position, but you just need to get the ball in his hands! Another returner, which is a bit questionable, but I would have to imagine that they are going to try him out as a defensive back.Comment

Omar Jacobs is still available here, right? That would be an ok pick.--

Will Blackmon
CB, Boston College
War Room analysis
Strengths: Has good size and adequate speed. Is an excellent athlete whose versatility will be valuable on defense and special teams. Is fluid; can turn and run with receivers. Competes well against big receivers. Shows good vision, quickness and burst. Has excellent playmaking ability, good hands and above-average ball skills. In run support, is aggressive and strong. Is a good tackler who breaks down and wraps up ball carriers. Is a standout kick returner.
Weaknesses: Played wide receiver in college, but projects as an NFL cornerback. Lacks elite speed. Must improve route-recognition and coverage skills. Does not get a quick break on passes, and loses sight of the ball at times.
Bottom line: Blackmon primarily will be a return man while he improves his coverage skills. His athleticism, versatility and ability to contribute on special teams will make him a fourth- or fifth-round selection.
Dan Pompei analysis
Is an enigma. Is big and fast, but doesn't always play fast. Shows good hands. Shows a burst to the ball. Had an excellent pre-draft workout, but works out better than he plays. Played wide receiver in '05, and some teams still consider him a receiver. Shows questionable toughness. Isn't physical, and lacks good instincts. Gets beat too often. Is a pretty good return man, though.
No. 19 on Pompei's CB rankingsComment
