The fine folks over there did a very good job with this. It was held over a 2 day period with Rounds 1 + 2 held on Friday and 3-5 today. We were represented by myself and Thunder64. Results after the jump!!
1st round: #8
Blaine Gabbert QB Mizzou
2nd round: #39
Greg Jones ILB Michigan State
3rd Round: #77
Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh
4th Round: #108
Lawrence Guy DE/DT Arizona State
5th Round: #139
DeAndre Brown WR Southern Miss
The reasons:
The plan was to get the franchise QB early and then solidify our weakest defensive unit first, which was the LB corps. I figured we can make do w/ the DLine for a bit but our LBs were horriawful at everything. Another thought process was that Thorchak/Gray wants to move to a 3-4 at some point so we need to stock up on the LBs for that. I picked both Romeus and Guy because of the uncertainty concerning our FA DLinemen and to add to the depth. The Brown pick was a BPA pick where there was a run on WRs in the late 4th to early 5th. We got a steal in Brown as he was considered to be a 2nd round pick before he got hurt. He can sit and develop before eventually taking over for Gage, Washington, and Hawkins. A WR corps of Britt, Williams, and Brown will be scary for opposing secondaries.
