1 - Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State (5-11, 231); 2 - Daniel Bullocks, S, Nebraska (6-0, 212); 3 - Brian Calhoun, RB, Wisconsin (5-9, 201); 5 - Jonathan Scott, T, Texas (6-6, 315); 6 - Dee McCann, CB, West Virginia (5-11, 197); 7 - Fred Matua, G, USC (6-2, 306); 7 - Anthony Cannon, LB, Tulane (5-10, 226) Analysis: It was believed that new head coach Rod Marinelli's defensive mindset would inform this draft, and that was exactly what occurred. Sims and Bullocks should both get on the field right away, and should add quite a bit of life to a defense that needs it. Calhoun doesn't look like much of an upgrade over Artose Pinner or Shawn Bryson, but will have a chance to compete for the backup job behind Kevin Jones. On the second day, Jonathan Scott was a steal in the fifth round and will have an excellent chance to make the team. Matua is also an intriguing pickup, but Cannon is a relative unknown. Bottom Line: No receivers in the first round (or any round) this year, and that logical approach was the right one. Grade: B+


Hey these guys could not get the offense gonig for years...maybe Defense is the ticket...
