... and select Shonn Greene. He's a RB out of Iowa 5'11" 227lbs. Cedric Peerman from Virginia was available and I had him ranked much higher. The difference between these players is Greene is a between the tackles one trick pony. He has a total of 11 receptions for his entire college career. Peerman can run, block, and catch. If I was going to give up two draft picks for a player he would need to be a triple threat. Again, that being said now is the time to get behind Greene and support him in the green and white.
If we would have stayed put at 17 we could have easily traded our pick to Tampa and picked up an extra 2nd rounder. We could have drafted Chris Wells. We would have had back to back 2nd round pics where we could have had Fili Moala who I wasn't big on when he was projected to be a 1st rounder but I would have liked in the mid 2nd round, and Brandon Tate WR North Carolina. In round 3 we could have picked up Ramses Barden the 6'6" WR out of Cal Poly.
We will have addressed a number of needs and still had our 4th rounder where we could target Graham Gano K from Florida. Now we will sit on our hands until round 5.
Mr. T's approach the last three years is to give up picks to trade up for players he falls in love with. He also seems to get off on making big splashes. He has given up a ton of picks over the past few seasons for players he is very sure about. That comes across as cocky. So far D'brick seems like he was a big reach as #4 overall in 06. Gholston was obviously drafted way too high at #6 overall in 08' and his QB from 06' who was drafted very high in the second round (Clemens) is being left by the roadside in favor of Sanchez.
All of this seems like a GM who is two things. He's feeding an inflated ego, and desperate. I am not happy with the direction we are going in, however I will say in Mr.T's defense that we didn't give up as much as I thought we would to move up for Sanchez. Thank God.
