    I would put Dotson out there. I dont think he is valued, but you might get a hit. I also think a fresh start for him might benefit him long term.

    No, Antonio Brown should not have been drafted earlier. The Steelers were right to wait until the sixth round to take him because it worked. They got him there.

    The same is true of Washington. Last night's results absolutely make Khan correct. It makes anyone who wanted to wait until the 93rd pick correct. It's okay to admit you got this one wrong. Chuck Noll was wrong to want John Stallworth in the first round in 1974. He was wrong to want Robert Newhouse over Franco Harris, too. That doesn't mean he still didn't know more about football than any of us and most human beings ever to pay attention to the game.

    There is always going to be some luck involved, but to dismiss it entirely as luck is inaccurate. Khan correctly read the board. He knew there was a good chance he could still get Washington or another player he wanted just as much at 93. His patience and planning paid off. Give the guy credit where it is due.

    I can't believe we have people arguing this either way. Waiting until 93 for Washington was the right decision. This is inarguable among the sane. Taking him over positions that might be a bigger need was a good decision, too, because he is an excellent value at 93 and he is an upgrade for the team.

    The latter isn't a sure thing. I am concerned about the Steelers' depth at safety and linebacker. I wanted Battle at 93 and the Bengals could make us pay for that one for a long time. He could end up starting for them from day one. That said, Khan has earned some trust and Washington looks like a very good pick, too.

    Will anybody take a shot on Stetson? Is he Johnny Football #2 and that just ruined him. His combine showing was pretty good. UDA?

    We had a roller hockey team called the Bulldogs all the way back in the mid 90's.

    They might..but his off field issues tend to scare people away. In the 7th, perhaps,, but honestly there are others without that backage and just as much upside.

    I originally read DUI, but just now saw public intoxication. That alone is not that bad, but the video was pretty ugly from what I understand.

    I would take a chance and tell Broderick and Washington to keep Ringo in line

    Hmmm.:hmm: Thanks.
    Public intoxication is usually not a biggie. I got one for just walking out of a club, and getting in a taxi. Because the local sheriff was trying to shut the place down.
    Of course I don't know the details on His.

    Some potential 7th round targets for me are the center from Oregon and the 6’4” WR from WVU

    Of course not. The MP's put me in cuffs for kicking out a glass door at the NCO club, how was I to know the place was closed. LOL Top Sgt liked me enough to rip up the paper and get my discharge processed. Honorable Discharge and 40 years later still dreaming the Army is after me lol

    What's up guys! Been awhile since I posted but I've been keeping up.

    I haven't been this excited for years, what a draft so far, Khan is killing it! Best draft in years, the value of those last 3 picks is amazing! A+ grade so far in my opinion.

    Hoping for Herbig with our next pick. Really wanted Ringo but knew he wouldn't make it back to us.

    That was a bad look for Bennett though, he turned down an invite from the Senior Bowl, then a few days later gets arrested for public intoxication.
