Analysis & Articles On The Picks

Thanks for the newsflash, I had no idea that mass stupidity was something to strive for.

[ice grillin you]

talking about sports is definitely stupid

[rjs246]

Obviously.

My point is that all of this fire and brimstone that we go through every year during and after the draft is stupid. They got some players. Some of them will pan out. Maybe they'll pull a pro-bowler or two. Several will be washed out in short order. It's the same thing every year and we don't know anything until it happens. So why get all lathered up over it?

Because it is the off-season, and talking politics is starting to make even my head hurt.

everything you say is true...but the draft is still one of the best sporting events of the year and what mostly makes it great is the discussion surrounding it and the post draft analysis....i love the desean pick but not the laws pick...nothing less nothing more

[Zanshin]

Would you feel any differently if they took Jackson before Laws?

i didn't like trading out of the 2nd round pick because the vikings took the safety that I wanted the Eagles to take.  now, maybe Demps can be a starter, maybe not.  but obviously you think that a 2nd round pick has a better chance to be a starter than a 5th rounder.

Laws was a need, so it's hard to say he was a bad pick.  they didn't have another DT for the rotation.  and they do need a rotation because you need to limit the number of snaps that Patterson sees in able for him to be effective.  and kimo van farghead and whoever else last year wasn't getting the job done.

not really...laws is a poors mans mike patterson and patterson isnt exactly an all pro...i just dont see why you would take a mini back up dt that high...intelligent and high motor dont cream good second round pick to me...plus i can easily see him getting overwhelmed at the next level...i will say tho in the overall scheme of things i can justify laws and make myself feel better about it because they have carolinas one next year which was a brilliant move

[Rome]

i'll go on record here and say laws replaces patterson as a starter by year two.  i'll also be his    sponsor too.

I thought Patterson played very well last year and if Laws can come in and provide quality play as a 3rd DT with little or no drop-off from what Patterson does, than he has helped the team at a position of need and that's all anyone can really ask for.

Same. He got steamrolled the first few seasons leading to the run defense being a problem but last season he played well. I don't give him as much of the credit as I do Bunkley coming along and taking the pressure off him.
