Matt – “Implied vulgarity.” Very nice! You’re right, how can anyone not like what they did today and this entire off-season? I’ll break the whole thing down shortly, but man, I am not easily impressed by the Birds, but they have really shown me something the last few months.

Col224 – Thanks. It was a long weekend. I’m with you on the all the return guys. What the hell are they gonna do there? I see Hobbs and Maclin both on kickoffs and Maclin and DeSean splitting punt return duties. Demps will be moved off kickoffs to concentrate on FS. Just a hunch.

Good report Scott,

I can’t believe how many of the players we drafted are kick/punt returners or at least have experience there. Reid does love competition, we’ll see who wins the spot.

It’s all good, Scott. I’ll just chalk it up as a case of great minds thinking alike… if you can call it that when it’s three people joking about implied vulgarity.

Overall, a great draft. Very happy about this one. Showed some great savvy in making a few great transactions and getting high value in late rounds. We got a good cornerback out of a surplus of 5th rounders.

As much as I’d like to see Sheldon get the Lito treatment, getting Hobbs was a great way to ensure that we have the depth to move him (or to leave him on the bench). He also provides a dangerous special teams option. We have a nice group of players to choose from when fielding our special teams.
