Dang it. We passed on a chance to upgrade at WR.

Another fast guy at RB, Tyler Irving, low 40 yd dash at 4.24.

Flexible at positions including special teams.

Any super fast safety or CB left on the board?

Default Ted Thompson and the Packers

Scratching my head over this Morrison pick for the Colts and how in the hell Kenneth Dixon is still available. He is going to be a steal in this draft.Then Ted Thompson takes another one of MY GUYS for the Packers. I would rather have Blake Martinez over Antonio Morrison 7 days a week. Just noticed that Thompson took Kyler Fackrell too in the 3rd round when Shilique Calhoun was off the board for the Colts, Fackrell would have been nice to have instead of La'Raven Clark.

My other nemesis, Ozzie Newsome takes my running back Kenneth Dixon.

And the Cowboys steal my QB Dak Prescott @ #135.

I don't like Cowboys, but I like that QB pick.

The Broncos take one of my favorite Guards. Connor McGovern who I would have selected @#125 for the Colts. The Broncos get him @ #144.

The Irving pick is a real head scratcher for me. Not that he's a bad player, but we just drafted Miller, who I think can play some RB if need be. That along with having Hunt. I just think we had a bigger need than another RB, especially one that high.

Tyler Ervin is a small gadget player. Trindon Holiday or Darren Sproles? Who knows, but he does have return ability which is something that I believe that they were looking for. Same thing with Braxton Miller. Personally, I would have rather had Kenneth Dixon as a potential player who might have to start if Lamar Miller goes down with an injury. The backup RB should have the ability to keep the same offensive philosophy of running the ball and not have to resort to Wildcat packages or bubble screens. It would also keep Miller fresh by being able to split carries. Ervin will have a specific role on Special teams and a 3rd down back coming out of the backfield for passes.

Found this info at scout.com, in 2015, Ervin rushed for 1,601 yards and 13 touchdowns, plus he caught 45 passes. His value rises when adding in his kick return ability. In 2015, Ervin had 23.9 yards per return and he had three kickoffs returned for touchdowns in his career. His final two seasons, Ervin returned punts where he had two returns for touchdowns.

His measureables in broad jump, high jump, and forty are pretty good.

Height: 5-10
Arm Length: 29 3/4"
Weight: 192 lbs.
Hands: 9 1/8"
40 yard dash: 4.41
Bench Press: 17 reps
Vertical Jump: 39 inches
Broad Jump: 130 inches
Short Shuttle: 4.34
3-Cone: 7.03

I find it funny that they explained his role as Dexter McCluster and then compare him to Akeem Hunt.

At his size, Ervin looks more like a slot receiver than a running back. Spartans coaches got him the ball in the backfield regularly the past two years, however, and it paid dividends as he led the team in rushing in 2014 (888 yards, four scores) and 2015 (1,469 yards, 13 touchdowns). Ervin's likely to play a rusher/receiver/returner role in the Dexter McCluster mold on Sundays, as he caught 73 passes for 642 yards the past two seasons in addition to his rushing work. His ability as a kick returner (2,374 career yardage, three scores) should also earn him credit among scouts.

Good deal, he returns kicks.
