I'm also a big fan of Kansas St. Jordan Willis. I've seen him play a few times, he would be a nice option in round 2 or 3.

I really don't care that Ryan Anderson didn't test all that well either. I think we've all seen what that dude can do.

I watched a lot of tape on Hassan Reddick, and really don't know what to think. It really sucks, when you watch defensive play against all of these spread teams that are the norm in CFB today. That's why I love watching tape of defensive players against Michigan. Reddick is used all over the field against those teams and I really couldn't get a handle on what he is, OLB, DE, ILB or none of the above.

Come on Ballard, draft 3 LB's in the first 3 rounds. Just do it damn-it!

He better draft a CB in round one or two or it will be a huge mistake

Griggs left the Colts with big holes all over the defensive side of the ball. Got to draft BAP on defense in every round. Be it LB, cornerback, safety. Drafting and reaching for need is a good way to get fucked. I don't want to draft 3 linebackers just because that is our biggest need, unless of course they are the BAP's.

Derek Barnett in the 1st and Ryan Anderson in the 2nd and I'd be beyond delirious. I really wouldn't care who we drafted in the 3rd round, but bolstering our LB corps to that degree, might as well go with another LB at that point.

Turning LB into a potential strength would do so much for this team, that I can't see how one could argue that'd be a bad thing.

Considering how loaded this class is at LB, that may very well be the case.

I was already a Riddick fan in the first but feared that we might be reaching to nab him at 15.

Now after his combine performance I don't know that he will last until 15. He had a great combine.

That is who I now want in the 1st.

I would prefer a CB come out of free agency. I want a guy that can play right away.

and the fact Kevin King just ran a 4.4 at 6'3" anybody think we might look that direction? I've thought we would go DB early and King might make some sense given our GM and HC.

welcome aboard cq

i worry about db's that tall myself. i know nothing about this kid but kids that tall, historically, have had problems with change of direction quickness.
