SI re-does the first round of the draft

[Black]

basiclly, with what we know about rookies now, how SI thinks they should have gone. Stew and Otah are 2 of only 3 players who who are considered "the right pick"

just a little national love for our FO, thought some might be interested

Now way Forte is a better back than Stew. He just got the carries in Chicago.

I think they are adding in his 395 yds receiving and 4 TDs via that to the mix.

But as a pure runner, I'd go with J-Stew.

That article is terrible. The conclusions he draws have almost no reasoning behind them.

I can't believe Desean Jackson is in front of Eddie Royal

[chbright]

slayton over stewart? and as mentioned jackson over royal? and ellis and dorsey are waaaaaay to low. bad situation for dorsey in kc, no help, worse than pep has had at any time. would love him here even over otah with pep to play beside. he is just to much of a force until doubled and tripled. it make teams pick stop dorsey or pep. and DT is by far our weakest link. if he rights off long with subpar numbers same should be said for dorsey.

It's an idiotic concept to do something like this. The reason rookies play well is the team around them. Put them somewhere else and it's a completely different situation.

Would Johnson or Stewart be as effective as the sole RB? Would Forte be as productive sharing the backfield?

how could they redo atlanta's pick of ryan? I hat them, but he changed that team

[rayzor]

i don't know. a lot of those things would have made sense.

ryan would have been a great option for miami and would have done more good there than penny. i would preferred him be somewhere than atlanta, thats for sure.

don't know if bulger is the problem in st. louis but he might be.

chris johnson in oakland.....i don't know if he would have been as productive but he was a better selection than 'double turf toe' mcfadden

forte and bush (while healthy) would have been huge for the saints

bengals would have won more than 2 if they had a running gam. slaton would have been good.

mcfadden in chicago....just doesn't make sense.

seahawks with jordy nelson makes sense. hass would have had at least someone to throw to and wouldn't have had to trade for colbert

it was interesting to look at anyway.
