Six 'Dogs Go In NFL Draft
Georgia tied with LSU for the most NFL draft picks in the SEC, with 6. Georgia had 4 offensive players go: A.J., Boling, Durham, and Chapas. Dent and Houston were the 2 defensive players selected.
At least A.J. will have a teammate to help him through the trying times in Cincinnati. Clint and A.J. should both start immediately. It's got to sting A.J. knowing the Falcons tried to trade up and get him. But the Bengals weren't interested. Oh well, maybe the $38M of guaranteed money will make the sting go away.
Akeem Dent landed with the Falcons and that appears to be a good fit. Dent is tough against the run, so he has a shot to take over that SLB spot, when Peterson exits. Until then, he'll be earning his check on special teams cover units.
Kris Durham landed in Seattle, as a 4th round pick. Looks like he can secure their 4th WR spot, with Mike Williams, Golden Tate and Ben Obomanu settled in as the top 3.
Shaun Chapas will battle Chris Gronkowski for the Cowboys FB job. Gronkowski is a 2-year pro out of Arizona.
Houston really hurt himself with the positive test prior to draft day. Not smart. But hopefully, Justin will find a home in KC. Tyson jackson (x-LSU star) and Tamba Hali are the starters at DE. Vrabel is the starter at OLB.
Speaking of defense, reading Marc Weiszer's blog...he hit on the fact that the 'Dogs have not had a defensive player taken in Round 1, since Pollack & Thomas Davis both went #1 back in 2005. That's 6 drafts, without a big-time defender. No wonder the 'Dogs have struggled on defense.
