Good pick up... some had him as the top kicker on the board.

They hope that he will turn out to be like Vinateri, and not like Tom Tupa.

i think the problem with drafting kickers and making them starters is that they have to come in and make every kick, in every game they play and you could argue that players in other positions are allowed some mistakes here and there, there is a lot more pressure on kickers that are drafted than most people think i would say

No question about it. If a kicker's good enough in college to be drafted, they expect him to be near perfect in the pros as well.

so New England has taken another CB...how many would they like on their roster? i mean come on i remember a few seasons ago when they had like no CB's in their team but it seems like in the last few season they have decided "hey lets just take EVERY SINGLE CB IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!" they even gave me a call a few weeks ago to ask if i was avaliable to play CB...but i said i was busy

It's the one position you can never seem to have enough of, with injuries, nickle/dime packages and special teams. Who was it they took, alex?

[alex83]

the titans FINALLY take a DE but this guy has been pretty injury prone over the last few season and with the 2 injury prone DE's we already have i would expect to see this guy in the medical facility more than on the practice field

I think the coaches are more patient with the kicker they just drafted who are starting than veteran starters..

the took Mike Richardson a 5-11 CB from Notre Dame, they dont give any info on him which is unusual

I dont know much about this guy..Ben Jacobs from cen ark

[vincesanity82]

well we finally draft a cb as well ryan smith..

[alex83]

yeah ive been reading up about him and there seems to be to many negatives, he is a DE but is apparently better suited to be a linebacker if he bulks up but if he does bulk up that would effect his agility and explosivness which is apparently what his few positives are...i see this guy falling into the shadows and probably being cut in a few seasons

[alex83]

dont you mean we took Jacob Ford, Cen Ark?

[alex83]

oh good we took another midget CB, why can we not take a taller DB i mean every knows we have one of the smallest defensive backfield in the entire league, against the Jags all their recievers were over 6ft and we have only one DB over 6ft, Lamont Thompson. but he seems like a good CB and hopefully he will be a good pick up like Corteland Finnegan was last season but we will see, i doubt he will get much action this season and i would expect him to be behind Finnegan in the rotation so maybe he will get a chance if we get some injuries who knows
