We pass up Mendenhall twice reach for Cherilous, take a 5th round prospect in the second and we still haven't addressed the RB issue.

Only upside is Dan Conner, Jamaal Charles and pat sims are all still there.

Well in all honesty. You guys needed an O-line men. Cherlious wasn't really a reach. He was expected to go in the late first early second. He's a tackle that can be there for his entire career and he's got one of the best punches in the draft.

Its alright compared to what was left as far as RB. I think hes a little slow though but hes a workhorse. What I can't believe is we drafted a WR, and took that FB out of Furman over Schimett...

Dang I was hopeing Barry Richardson would fall to Detroit but KC just took him.

Cherilous is a stud RT. You guys have no line for Mendenhall. Cherilous s a 10years starter on the right side you can plug in immidiately
