Well, there goes Poyer. Shoot. I like the guy more than Blanton, maybe not as much as Robinson.

Bummer. In a way, I like DC Jefferson. He can do something Carlson can't...he can play emergency quarterback.

Is Rogers _that_ big of a head case? I read: bar fight, multiple substance violations. Pffffft. Draft him!

Mauti is a beast. That guy looks like a Viking, all he needs is an axe in his hand and some war paint. If his knees check out, He could end up being a GREAT pick.

We have to grab Rogers here. He was considered better than Hunter before all his off the field issues took place. For him not to be picked yet, means he must be a huge problem. Anyone know much about this guy?
He failed 3 drugs tests at TN, transferred to TN Tech, passed 10 drug tests during the year.

I would love to see them take him.

I'm not so sure. Da'Rick Rogers should have been picked by now. Maybe his character concerns are even worse than we think.

Dawkins is a good value pick for R7. And I love the Mauti pick. I hope he can stay healthy.

Dawkins seems like a pretty decent value pick, but maybe the amount of depth at UT and lack thereof at NT is worrisome. I'm guessing they're going to try and shift K-Will over and play Floyd at UT, then keep one of these other guys as a backup UT.

Happens to wear #93. Sounds good to me.

A+ draft.

Two absolute gamechangers. CP and Locke. Vikings will lead the league in the field position battle. That's HUGE!!!

The Mauti pick was great I agree, would've liked Williams over Dawkins earlier. But come on character concers bad enough to not even warrant a 7th? Come on now, not like he has murder on his record.
You could be right about Rogers. I guess I'm just surprised that he may go undrafted and I figure there has to be a reason for that, aside from all the teams somehow overlooking him.
