SeahawkFinFan said:I've never understood this kind of thinking, really. If he's the best fit for your system that's available when you pick, a guy you're confident in, go ahead and pick him. The idiot pundits can say he's a reach all they want, but who's gonna b***h when he's on the field making plays? Would you rather trade down and take him later if he might slip? Of course, but fans and pundits seem to think the team is getting ripped off if they take a guy 'too early' when the option was probably to take him there or not get him at all. In reality, they're getting a damn STEAL when they can trade down and still get their guy. That's a lucky thing, not an entitlement.

Crowder52 said:Carpenter could very well be a better fit for our D. It doesn't matter where draft websites rank these guys, they aren't ranking them within a given system. The only rankings that matter are Saban's and Capers' in this case.
miadfins said:i think most people would argee that carpenter is a very solid pick, i do think his rushing the qb ability is overblown. i think he has more upside then greenway and that greenway is the less "sexy" pick.
