Roy, I know you love them, but there is more to football then numbers at the combine. What happens on the field is much more important. The bottom line is, Gibbs loved Brown, and that is more than good enough for me. Every year you complain that we didn't take "your guys," but the last two years have been pretty damn solid drafts. Kubiak and Smith deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I realize there are more than numbers at the Combine that makes a player. That's why I had Cason ahead of other CBs like Cromartie and McKelvin.

I also had Zuttah slightly higher than Brown.

Anyway, I'm not "complaining" so much as stating what I would have done. Duane Brown and Antwaun Molden are "My Guys" and I completely get it. Gibbs supposedly likes Brown a lot more than I do. I was guessing that either he or Zuttah would be available @ #79 and that is when I would have taken one or the other. Then I'd have hoped that Gibbs could work his magic. I also had Molden on my board as a possible 3rd round pick in the event we drafted some other position in the 1st. Basically, I'm saying that we drafted 2 3rd round picks (one just was taken at #26). If Brown plays like a 1st round LT, I'll be happy.
