Sporting News/War Room has Jerome McDougle rated as the #2 DE behind Suggs.Listed at 6`2 264.Rated round one pick.If the Cards really go for him as a pass rusher would this be too much of a reach at #6?

My Bad,I meant to list him with Robertson.I just wonder if Kennedy would be a impact pick at #6.I have read many varied opinions of him.Originally posted by arthurracoon

Is Robertson better than Kennedy because thats what I've been hearing on this board.
I always thought Kennedy was rated higher.

I think Kennedy and Robertson are running neck and neck with each other.

Most projections that I've heard lately have Robertson as the top tackle. He is faster, stronger, and has more upside.
Here are the guys at the top that IMO will be impact players:
1. Suggs. The only true top ten pick DE. McDougal isn't even close imo. A pass rushing force to be reckoned with in the future.
2. Newman/Trufant. Both are fast, but have different qualities. Trufant is bigger, and a better "technique" corner, while Newman is more physically gifted (but not much more).
3. Robertson. He has been called "baby" Sapp, but that is misleading since he is bigger than Sapp. He had 5 sacks last year, while taking on constant double teams. He has run around 4.75 at times, around what Bryant was running last year, but he is stronger than Bryant.
4. Charles Rogers/Andre Johnson. Big, fast targets, who should be very good NFL wide receivers. Rogers is more of a refined receiver, while Johnson is the better athlete with more upside.
Now my order of priority:
1. Suggs. We need a pass rush, and he could be a dominant pass rush force.
2. Robertson. Better than Kennedy imo, because not only will he help stop the run, but he could be a very good pass rushing tackle. More of a complete package.
3. Andre Johnson. He is only this high because of need. We need a receiver more than we do a corner. He is very green, but he would give us a talent infusion to our receiving corp.
4. Trufant. Personally, I don't want Newman and his 5'10 heighth and his Deion Sanders bravado. I want substance, and Trufant is the guy.
5. TRADE DOWN! If we were to trade down with the Jets, we could pick Boss Bailey (A guy I would love to have) and Chris Kelsay (A KVB-like end with more speed). [/QUOTE
if we traded our number one for the jets two number ones i think we could pick up a good defender (boss bailey or anyone else) at thirteen and then we could probably get kelley washington with their second first round selection.
