[Skkorpion]

Interesting list but way off in my opinion.

Remember how many of us here were lusting after Kalimba Edwards in the draft? Now edwards rates a 96th best free agent listing. What a huge bust.

I will admit I wanted him then Ed B did as well. Wasnt he taken late in the 2nd round though? I wouldnt call him a HUGE bust. Its not like he was a top 10 pick.

Maybe he is a green guy. Had 7 sacks last year and the kind of guy who will not command a huge payday but is coming into his own.

[cough]Eb_B[/cough]

Ed called me crazy for saying Edwards would be a bust. Then again he also thought I was crazy for stating that I thought Freeney would be a stud. Then we got into it again next year when he wanted us to draft Peek in the second round.

 

[English on tour]

kurt was 50 - Josh 68

 

[Divide Et Impera]

Josh 68

How is he rated so high?

 

[AntSports Steve]

He's rated about right. 6.5-7.0 = Marginal starter.

Could someone who has time, sort this list by position for me and repost it?

 

[BigDavis75]

Did I miss Deshea Townsend on there or did they actually not rate him in the top 99?

 

[daytripper]

Its also interesting that the highest rated DT is @ #41 IMHO our highhest position of need

Maybe he is a green guy. Had 7 sacks last year and the kind of guy who will not command a huge payday but is coming into his own.

I will admit I really wanted him as well. I watched a few games and was preety impressed with him and I actually still do want him on the cards. Here are his stats

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5921/career;_ylt=AqsB3FCuqbE900ahwBbN3er.uLYF

Not bad !! 7 sacks last year

 

[AntSports Steve]

Not many OT on that FA list.

 

[BigRedFan]

Warner only 50? He still doesnt get any respect. He threw for 300 yards a game.

 

[PortlandCardFan]

Why is no one mentioning picking up Andre Carter when he is listed as the highest prospecting LB in FA and of any LB position the Cards need I would think a 265lbs MLB would be a pretty good pick up.


So what's the scoop?
