All the more reason to question why he was taken with the third 4th round pick with so many higher rated C's still available.
Your logic is inconsistent when it comes to rookies. Anthony Allen was rookie last year as well.

1. I never referred to the Safety in my post. The RB and G/C pick specifically are the panic picks. More so when than who.

Loving the revisionist history and the draft isn't even over for a full day.
Haters gonna hate I suppose, even if it means twisting the facts to suit their narrative.
Dig it. We don't do splashes in FA and we don't view the Draft as an opportunity to make a splash either.
I think we can pretty much assume that a whopping 90+% of the fan base predicted 12.5% of this draft correctly.
None of the names past Upshaw (and to a much lesser extent, Streeter) was ever batted around these forums with any frequency or excitement. Therefore, many, many people are finding it hard to be excited about what we did this weekend. Essentially, it's a lot of "I really wanted X, Y or Z". But that's what happens when so many people these days watch a few hours of video, construct there own boards and lay out their own mocks. I actually get that.
No matter what though, from a needs basis, I think we pretty much nailed it (though I'd be the first to make a small argument on the WR choice), and I'm excited to see how each of these cats develop this summer.
Folks will misrepresent a poster to push their agenda.....I guess.
