Down 5 spots in the 1st for a backup OL, a fifth round pick next year, and move up 8 spots in the end of the 3rd. Woo hoo...and we still have terrible DT depth. Very little experience. Love Tomlinson but we aren't much better with these additions.

Get StartedThe way I look at it, I've loved drafts that turned out bad. I've hated drafts that were better than I thought. I'll wait and see on this one..

I would order an Abdullah jersey, but let's face it, a guy my size only looks good wearing a jersey in the 90s.
Sorry guys....i swear i really tried to be positive this draft. ...really did. Mayhew is just soooo dumb.....
You could wear #22 like Stafford...I mean Lorenzen

You guys are forgetting we have a 31yr old starting safety, who is just now coming off his best season. This 31yr old safety also only has 1yr left on his deal, not only that but he's not showing up to volunteering workouts due to wanting a NEW CONTRACT...If we didn't address the safety position(assuming Carter becomes a safety) this year, the same guys hating on the pick would be complaining next year that Mayhew didn't address the problem the previous season. He's in a lose/lose in some eyes.
Mayhew hates value.
Love tomlinson....immediate upgrade at rg. Probably atleast 10-15 picks early.
Love abdullah. Early for him. Can he carry the load? Is he really worth a 2nd rd pick with so much talent still on the board at positions of need? If hes not the feature back this pick wasnt worth it. Ps langford still on the board in the 4th.
Mayhew finally creates value by obtaining extra picks! Oh, wait.....lets just piss that value away to a division rival for a guy that wont start unless dig isnt playing. Ps carl davis...projected 2nd rounder is still on the board at a position of need. Thats value! Mayhew hates value.

Good picks that went early or bad picks that got picked later than they should get picked..?
I just find it funny that bal and ne get guys like malcom brown and carl davis.....then we always wonder why we cant win like they do consistently. Amazing how that works out. ...isnt it?
Great great value at a position most would say we desperately need. .....nah. reach for a guard when we just traded for one and pick a back up safety.

Given Mayhew's track record if someone defends his moves with anything more than a we'll wait and see...my homer senses start tingling.
