Two guaranteed starters................excellence. We have many needs but at least we didn't waste them on tweeners and headcases, we are not good enough to do that yet nor do we have a "got nothing to lose" attitude. Headway in our roster is what we needed. We are no longer G by committee, RT if needed, and an abundance of talent at the LB spot. We grabbed a guy that can play any of our three LB positions for when our next LB goes down. Give me Joe Adams and we improved all three phases of our game with all draft picks intact for next year.

I gave it an A. Without reservation.

Look, I didn't have either of these guys as "my picks", nor did I really want to go LB in 1 and O-line in 2. But I have no doubt that we got 2 very good players. Frankly, both should be eventual pro-bowlers. And yes,they were at positions of need. Add in Olsen and we made the most of those 3 picks.

It would seem petty to knock quality selections just because they weren't the ones I wanted.

We still have significant holes, just like a lot of other teams, and I expect Marty and Ron to bust their butts to somehow improve our roster to the extent possible, but I am really confident about the 2 guys we picked.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
