That's a really good pick. He was seen as a possible third rounder by some. Terrific athlete, very smooth, turns well... I had read about him as a potential later round CB. Very nice.

Holes in our draft: LB and RT. Instead of Cameron, I would've really dug Gates or Salas.

Draft is always interesting: Browns take Skrine over Burton, generally slotted higher... and Austin Pettis goes right before Leonard Hankerson, who was thought to be a solid 2nd round pick.

this kid is crazy fast and a hard hittin' Mo'Fo...I like it...wonder if the possibility of two way player excists with him...wow!

[Brown Warrior]

Yeah, I saw him on "sleeper" lists. He's gonna be a really nice addition to Haden, Brown, and Wright. If Wright is "right," we could move Brown to safety.

Think I heard somewhere this kid couldn't play a lick-----Mayock maybe???

[Koa]

Maybe this pick was a counter to the Ratbirds taking Torrey Smith. Skrine's a sub 4.3 speed guy

[Brown Warrior]

Really? You heard something bad about Skrine? I'd read a lot of good stuff.

EDIT: Here's what you were talking about:

The Sleeper

Buster Skrine

5-9 1/2, 186

40-time: 4.45

Chattanooga

Mayock: ``I fell in love with his feet at the combine. He’s short, but ran in the 4.4 range and has great feet. I put the tape on and he’s not a very good football player. He gave up 3 long plays in the first quarter of a game against Auburn, both in press and off-man coverage. But when you run as fast as he did at the combine, you’re going to get an opportunity. This kid has return skills and has the feet you want to work with to be a nickel corner. I’d love to get him in the fifth or sixth (round) because I don’t think he’s a great player right now. But because of the speed and return ability, he might not get out of the third or fourth.’’

Round projection: 4

Skrines is a good pick. there's potential there.

Cameron is insurance against Moore not being able to stay healthy. They are pretty much identical the way they play the game. You got to have 3 TEs to play the WCO.

We traded up and got a pretty solid prospect of a OT from Pitt.

Wow... who's #8 for Bama? What a freaking beast!

(JK... but not. Yeah I am. But not really.)
