draft was decent but clyde gates showed me nothing this year, I like what I saw out of pouncey and charles clay, jimmy wilson is decent and has potential, and daniel thomas has a lot to prove

Disagree with his opinions or not, he isn't dumb. Guy has had a very long and lucrative career doing something most of us wish we could do.

That's your opinion and that's OK.
I respect hooshoops draft opinion and a host of others more than Kiper's.

Gates didnt get alot of chances..He was not a very good KR tho..Not sure where he stacked up league wise but watching games he was pretty awful. The rule changes didnt help.

I was starting to get excited in preseason when he was consistently getting behind defenders. I'm not sure what happened after that? Does he have a problem with physicality/bump and run coverage?
especially considering you were one of the most vocal against the draft in the spring. DT had those hammy issues and really it's hard to overcome if you did what we did to him (play him a week or 2 then sit him a week) we should have let him rest his hammy until he was fully ready.
Gates, I just remember listening to Omar on ESPN radio during the summer saying Gates has a lot of speed, but he needs to learn how to run in pads (saying he ran into the practice wall several times cause he can't control himself)
