    Brandon Brooks was my first thought coming out of a smaller school as well. Hopefully it pans out

    I want Jake Butt....he's first round talent. I know it's not a need, but he can be a perennial pro bowler. I see the Patriots taking him... And I don't want that.

    If NFL teams thought they were physically competent (size/strength/quickness) to play tackle, and clean technique-wise they don't slip to the 4th round, unless they get "La'el Collins"-ed. You don't draft offensive linemen in the 4th round expecting them to be plug-and-play. Either they are too slow, they have technique issues, or they need a ton of work in the weight room. Otherwise they would have already been drafted.

    I have a feeling we are taking Butt. He fits the good ole' boy mantra and could be a heck of a player.

    Bennie Joppru 2.0? The last Michigan TE we took. Worked out well for the healthcare industry!

    Would like Jake Butt, but I think it's time for a DB. Griffin just signed an extension. Unless he's BPA I wouldn't do it.

    Maybe Desmond King here? I know he's undersized, but whether he's a corner or a safety, I think he's a good value pick here.

    Davenport is 6'7" with an 87.5" wingspan?? Wow, that's crazy. MKG's cousin, too.

    Not necessarily true. Both can play next to each other on the line of a 3-4 defense.
