Has Dorsett from Cal been picked yet? If not, he would be a good late pick.

nope, not yet.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Hawkins from Cal is still around isn't he?

 

[Brewster10]

Chauncey Washington is the only back I'd use a pick on at this point..

Id like to see us get some OLine depth with the next pick

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

i guess not .

 

[JerkFace]

I was just thinking, I wonder with Pitt. taking Mendenhall if they will let Parker walk as a Free Agent next season?

 

[TJ]

Overview
Omon led NCAA Division II with 2,337 rushing yards (6.3 per attempt) and a whopping 37 touchdowns in 2007, in the process becoming the first back in NCAA history to run for more than 1,500 yards in four different seasons. He's not likely to wow anyone with his straight-line speed, but defenders know how tough he is to bring down.

Analysis
Positives: Strong, durable runner (1,000+ carries from 2005-07) with more than adequate size. ... Keeps his feet moving in traffic, maintains low pad level to break through arm tackles. ... One-cut back who can plant and drive up the field. ... Once he's in the seam, he has a slight burst into the open. ... Strong running between the tackles and can also stiff-arm a defender to take the ball outside. ... Can spin off a defender and maintain balance to get additional yardage.


Negatives: Does not possess breakaway speed, but is more than a move-the-chains runner. ... Has been a somewhat productive receiver (90 receptions in four years) and can bring in the ball smoothly, but he fights the ball at times, creating hesitation that will give NFL defenders the advantage in space. ... Willing to block but needs to improve pass protection skills, keeping his feet and getting into the defender's pads. ... Ball security is an issue as well.

I am now on the Torain bandwagon. Maybe in the 6th.

Agreed

 

[Dr. Jones]

Henderson is still available.

 

[JerkFace]

Would you be willing to take Torain in the 5th?

Has Booty been selected? There's some QB's sitting out there, Booty, Woodson,Ainge.

 

[JerkFace]

I am amazed that both Roy Schuening and Carl Nicks are still available.

 

[Mulli]

Has Booty been selected? There's some QB's sitting out there, Booty, Woodson,Ainge.

I kinda liked Booty's combine showing.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Iggles with a nice pick to replace Lito next year.

 

[ItsInTheCards]

Has Booty been selected? There's some QB's sitting out there, Booty, Woodson,Ainge.

woodson still out there is very suprising....huge production with a low amount of INTs

somewhat slow delivery, but big big body with a good arm

 

[Dr. Jones]

I like booty as well.
















ask my wife.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Speaking of RB does anyone think the radiers are a bit over staffed there? I would wait and see who they release. Rhodes or Jordan would be a good insurance policy, if Edge went down

 

[JerkFace]

Jordan will most likely be the one to be released. I would cut Shipp and pay Jordan the same amount.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

are the Cards the only team that hasn't been involved in a trade this draft?

 

[JerkFace]

On to the 5th.
