Looks like Rickie said, I get 1 pick, the rest are yours Zimmer. Not like we don't have any overpaid DE's already.

They are clearly taking the best highest players on their board at this point. I would have loved to have Borland but I still like the pick
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds,the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps.

I second that. I don't understand how anyone can listen to the stupidity of Mel Kiper when they have the option to listen to best draft analyst out there

Hoping Bashaud Breeland drops to the bottom of the third though
Breeland would be a pretty good pick. Seems like Zimmer likes stronger guys though and Breeland needs to bulk up some.

At worst, he should emerge as a quality member of the rotation early in his career and could develop into a quite effective complementary pass-rusher.

EEHhh! I would never go after a Robinson clone :rofl:

why not? Robison was our easily our best defensive lineman last year.

I agree. Seems like a BPA deal too.

Wild vs. Blackhawks? Man, I miss the days when Dino Ciccarelli was the man putting the biscuit in the basket for the North Stars. Secord Sucks!

Drafted players are on the rookie pay scale so that's actually the best way to not have overpaid players!

No, you should disown him :)
