I'm not an Price or Odrick fan, they just doesn't light my fire. Rather take Houston or Alualu in the 2nd.

Now are you wanting to take Taylor Mays if he drops? He was awful in coverage during one on one drills a the senior bowl. Looked better in the game.

Wilson is a slight reach at 20, but i would not complain if they drafted him.

If we can't trade down and the choice is between Weatherspoon or Mathews, I'll select the LB. He is a unique talent at a position that could be upgraded. If I wanted to minimize risk, 'Spoon is my guy. Price and Odrick are too risky for my taste. I simply can't see how they translate. Price may be available in the 2nd round.

I think I can work with Taylor Mays if I'm willing to assume some risk. He fits in a position of need and if the coaches can teach him something, that's a great fit. He has top 5 athleticism at #20 due to his lack of "instincts" that he claims was a product of his coaching. If I "blow" this pick and he can't play FS, I can move him to WILL and still get something out of him.

I wouldn't be too upset with getting Kyle Wilson simply because we let Dunta Robinson go. We need a better CB anyway to defend Reggie Wayne. Since I can't guarantee that McCourty or Ghee will be available at #51, a slight reach here isn't bad.
