I was not a fan of the Pick.  I was not a fan of Burns either.  I rather we had picked Dillard as our LT and we could gotten as good of pass rusher in the 2nd round as Burns.  I agree he is fast but not strong enough to bull rush.  If the tackle locks him down his speed is not helping him in a situation like that.  Sorry we wasted our picks in needing to move up to get Allen.  We had 3 picks in the first 100 picks....between the Allen pick and out next pick we waited for 100 players to come off the board.  

Allen?   You mean Little?  I thought the Grier pick was a waste too.  While I think you got some names confused, I agree with the overall sentiment.   Every year I get stoked for the draft and it's like going out on a bad blind date--your hoping for a delightful beauty and you get a dull toad instead.   I feel so deflated after each and every draft.  I realize it's not going to go 100% to my liking, but just for our drafts to make sense would be a small victory.

I did get the names confused...It was Little I was talking about.  Why I said it was Allen I have no idea.  Maybe it was an Brain Fart at the time.

You do realize philly tried to play Dillard at RT in their last game and he was benched by halftime right?

From NFL.com "Perhaps most importantly, the Eagles got a taste of life without Johnson last week when he couldn't play due to a concussion. Rookie tackle Andre Dillard attempted to fill in in his first start at right tackle in his career at any level, was benched by halftime and veteran swing tackle Halipoulivaati Vaitai didn't fare much better."

As I said I was not a fan of Burns either.  I would gone OLine Tackle first and we could have gotten just as good of pass rusher in the 2nd round.  and still not given up our 3rd round pick to Seattle and we waited for the next 67 picks to come off the board before we picked again Grier whom we would have gotten anyways.  Sorry Little wasn't worth that 3rd round pick we gave away.

Just as much as Dillard was not worth passing on Burns for.

The Panthers actually practiced yesterday, but Greg Little wasn't on the field due to an ankle issue suffered during the last game.

Rivera isn't exactly sounding encouraged.
