    DE
    Jeremy Thompson
    Chris Ellis
    Kendall Langford

    Need someone on the other side of the Dline from Mario so I would not leave DE out.

    He played some safety his freshman year. He could be a guy that plays CB, but moves to safety when Dunta returns. I like the idea of having a FS that can cover considering the Colts have so many receiving options.

    Do we possibly go RB with our 2nd pick in the 3rd? Lots of decent RBs still available. Or maybe DE...

    I think there is a decent chance for RB. I don't see much Big 10 football, but I read Michigan is running the ZRB system now and their back racked up some serious stats.

    I see RB, S, CB, DE, LB being the biggest need picks

    OG and WR are a possibility as well if the BPA is one of these guys.

    I just posted this in the other thread, but Slaton is somewhat intriguing. It does bother me that really sucked down the stretch last year, and he seems like he can't take a hit. I'll be curious to see if his success was a byproduct of Pat White, or if he can succeed on his own. I do think the zone scheme is best for him, though.

    I'm surprised! I like his ability to catch the ball. I generally have the same concerns about him as I had with Reggie Bush, but don't have a problem with a little RB in the third.

    I wanted the Texans to get Tom Zibkwoski. He went a few picks earlier to the Ravens.

    Ha ha....how ironic that they are having the same argument about Wes Welker that we had yesterday! Good times.

    I also like Zbikowski for the Texans. That's one tough mo-fo, and a steal in the draft. A great pick for Baltimore.

    I'd like the Caldwell pick for sure. Blake had all the talent in the world, but turned into a bit of a headcase this past season. Maybe the NFL will be a fresh start for him.

    I think the Texans are a place he could thrive.

    We've got a lot of young DL talent, Blake would have very little pressure and could grow into his role.
