How many roster spots do we have? We had more picks than we can use so spend'em. [Reply]
Not so much homer as talking about a guy I've seen play a lot.
And I don't think I'm really saying anything you won't find in his draft profiles.
People tend to overreact negatively here. I know that I still don't understand either of yesterday's picks. But as far as Chesson goes, I haven't seen Mayock or McShay or Kiper use the word 'project' with him... [Reply]

This is actually a valid point, though not exactly in the way you meant. We had more picks than we had available cap space to sign that number of picks. It's one of the reasons so many people expected us to trade up. Albeit not this many times. [Reply]

He also shared the field with the afore-mentioned Butt, as well as Amara Darboh, who as I recall went late last night. Really, I'd have been happy with any of those three in this range.
Hey he helped my boys in Columbus win again so I like the kid. [Reply]
