I love the Holmes pick. I'm stoked about it. Actually, he was #1 on my wishlist after Lardel started looking worse and worse with each passing hour. Holmes was the best WR in this class and a solid mid-first rounder. Thats kick *** for a defending champion to grab that and fill a need in doing so. I just don't like what we gave up for him as much as you do. I think to move up seven spots you send a fourth tops. Don't want your third? Trade it for a second next year!
Maybe they see something in Smith. I kind of trust them on it. With Watkins and Simpson on the board it doesn't make sense to me though. I had Simpson as the fourth best safety in the draft. Why is he falling so far?
Reid I like. Getting weapons for Ben is ALWAYS a good thing. I dunno. I'm probably with you on the main deal breaker being the Smith pick. I'll give them a D+ so far and say if they didn't overpay for Holmes it would have been a C+.
We need to yank Kai Parham or Freddie Roach out of this day two though. Kai would be a great pick IMHO especially since they can let him sit and learn for a year or two.
What do you like on the OL thats left Nixon?
