Surprised they took Ingram with his off field history. Charges were dropped, but he doesn't seem the type worth the risk

Booth has been injured pretty much all through his career. Don’t really see that going away.
Who do we have to backup Bradbury at center? They going to try an covert Davis to backup center.
Or is he done for?
Seems kind of weird having 6 guards competing for a spot but nothing at center.

So even though there were 3 guys I wanted at 12, Kwesi did what I did in nearly every one of my mock drafts. I tend to always move around and accumulate additional 2nd rd picks this year. There are a lot of really good players and we landed a a nice haul.

Ingram is a reach, he could have dropped to the 3rd round and Vikings could still get him

Ingram was a reach according to the mock draft websites and the "guru's" opinions. Those guys give a lot of insight into players and such, but do not know what the teams needs, philosophy, etc is. Mike Mayock was a draft guru and was given a shot at a GM position. How did that go ??? He was even gifted an amazing haul of picks and proceeded to not do so well. I like the aggressiveness. Why hope that your guy is there later when you can get him now !

Kwesi sure is taking this baby for an extended test drive. Have we picked at ANY of our original spots? I've lost track
