btw, I'm not homering over this draft. I said it was meh, but there are a couple of players that I really like. I know I was late on Matt Johnson like everybody else, but I really like that selection. Same with Claiborne.

Kinda meh on Crawford's selection. Coale. meh. Hanna. meh. I already forgot who we took in the 7th round.

Like a lot of folks on here, I'm more excited over the UDFAs. Specifically Saleem Hakim.

Yes, I said earlier we've been better lately in the first 2 rounds.

GloryDays said that since DeCastro was not drafted in the Top 20 that no one had a a Top 20 grade on him. Which is not necessarily true. Teams grade players very differently. We had a Top 15 grade on Sean Lee and we got him much later. DeCastro could have been Top 20 on several teams boards. Supposedly, when he was available in the 20's, we tried to jump back up and grab him, willing to risk at least 2 more picks to make the move. Looks like it's possible we thought pretty highly of him.

I said nobody wanted him top 20..not that nobody had a top 20 grade on him. But regardless, whether he's a stud or not, taking him at 14 would have been a major fail.

Stephen Jones said it correctly, when he said, we would have traded down into the 20s if we were going to take DD..that's all I'm saying.

I'm reading that you believe cmd sucks. I agree.

He didn't do that in college. Why would he do it in the pros?

I mean, this is a guy that benched the bar 36 times. So it's not anything a NFL strength and conditioning program will do for him. Like Mb4 said, he's maxed out, averaged out really, physically.

bench has zippy to do with opening holes

they should have these dudes squat

that said, decastro is as average as they come

Just because he wasn't drafted top 20 doesn't mean no one wanted him in the top 20. We might have taken him in the top 20 if we didn't trade up, or if he was our preference at 14. If what cmd said was true, that we were trying to trade back up as he was slipping, then it would stand to reason we wanted him top 20. We just didn't want him at 6.

S. jones said we would have traded down into the 20s to get him.

Facts are facts.. He didn't go top 20..thus, top 15 would have been a reach

Still doesn't mean we didn't want him top 20. If we couldn't have traded down, or could only trade down to 19, we still might have taken him. Regardless, the point still stands that just because he wasn't taken top 20, no one wanted him top 20. Any one of the Top 10-15 teams could have wanted him top 20.

The point still stands that you are just guessing.

The bottom line is he didn't go top 20.. There's nothin else to it
