The first pick...cause that means we are closer and closer to the start of the 2010 Championship season. Honestly, B. Marshall was the best use of draft pick.
There is still a truck load of talent out there because this draft was so deep. It will be very interesting to see who ends up on our roster undrafted. The FO earned their money this week that's for sure.
John Jerry (Lewis) John (Kerry) Jerry (Ben and) John Jerry I can go on for days.... I also like the pick. Here is wishing we found some diamonds this year. Cheers,

Odrick..now that we know Stark will be moving to NT getting Odrick @ 28 is the best value pick we got IMO. 2nd is R. Jones. Was watching some video on him, kid loves to hit. Also, Odrick is from my hometown so call me a homer
man I'm surprised guys like Edds, McCoy, and Spitler are getting votes. Did anyone honestly know who they were before we got them? If so, can you give us who don't know them a brief description of how they play?
Here is a write-up by an Iowa fan who signed up today just to give us a heads up of what kind of player we are getting: http://forums.thephins.com/showpost.php?p=1114193&postcount=89
the guy gets engulfed by blockers. I dont see him as anything other than a 3rd down backer who can cover unless we have some scheme in mind that keeps blockers off of him. Maybe we should go 4-3 because we seem to be going that direction
Well isn't that one of our major weaknesses on defense from last season? Our lack of pass coverage from our LB crew? If he can help out there and he was considered one of the top prospects in that area in the draft, what is there not to like? Not to mention he looks like a great prospects for our special teams, another area that could use major improvement. I think sometimes folks expect home runs on every draft pick and if it isn't then it's considered a waste of a pick. And besides there does seem to be a lot of upside with Edds besides just a nickel LB on passing downs.
Outside of FS the biggest issue on our defense last year was poor tackling by the LBs and Ss. Edds is a very solid tackler (and excellent in coverage), so we should like that. Actually, that's something I believe all of the picks have in common.
Good call on that and it's nice to know that the FO took notice of this and hopefully this puts on notice the usual suspects on our roster as well.
Well I do agree that he will help on 3rd down. I'm just a bit disappointed that we picked him in relation to who else was still on the board. Helping on third down will be important no doubt but I see him as a role player which is fine but I think we passed on some 3 down players
Its hard for me not to like the jones pick. If you watch him on tape the guy is clearly 3rd round talent and the phins got him in the late 5th round.
If you get that out of a 4th rounder you should be happy. Not every player has to be a diamond in the rough. Sometimes just drafting guys who can do specific things you need is fine.
I think Jones will be the best value for the pick. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to Kerry teaming with Jake Long on the left side and bulldozing opposing teams.
Even though Odrick is a better player the idea of Jerry teamed alongside Long just has me giddy with anticipation. Can you imagine what it will be like when we play the smaller quick defensive lines lol? I dont think 3rd and short will ever be a problem again
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome work by the boys upstairs. I am so excited to see the first game I just might pee ~ !
You kidding? Several forum members here, including me, have been beating the drum to draft Edds for the past 4 months. If you want a brief description on how they play, there are dozens of scouting reports on the net. Why not just surf a little rather than expecting someone else to do all the work for you?
I voted for AJ. LOVED the pick. The only one I audibly cheered on. Most of the other picks I liked a lot. The one pick I question is Nolan Carroll. I think there were better corners on the board. IMO, Edds will be an eventual starter for us and a solid one.
I wanted another Safety, but I don't want to turn into Mel Kiper here. Kiper should wait 4 months and then rate our draft picks. Anyone remember Brian Bosworth?
