@JayGlazer: Vikings were trying to trade up for him too
That stings.

Edit: Really stings.

Sh*t.

For what this is worth, from Walter Football on Mosley -

I hate to question Ozzie Newsome, but I'm not a fan of this pick. Trusted sources who wouldn't smokescreen us told us that they had C.J. Mosley in the second round because C.J. Mosley was damaged goods. We actually spoke to two teams that thought Mosley would be available in the second round. The pick makes sense for need purposes, and Mosley could pan out, but this selection has a very high bust rate.

This is what I was worried about, Spielman getting twitchy. He better not give up next year's 1st. I don't think a 2 & 3 gets you back into the 1st this high. This year's 2 and next year's 2....hmm... nah I don't like that either.

ugggggggg would have been so huge to get Manziel. I can't believe we let him get away when he fell all the way to #22, that's a huge mistake. Would have been fine at #9.

I'm with you. Heck, we may have been able to get Barr late first. Of course, we'll never know.

Of course the team with a solid defense makes the right pick. Good job Cincy.

Look at his ball skills. Put Dennard out on an island, done. Can't believe he lasted that long.

Hard to outbid someone who still has a 1st round pick. And Cleveland will have two 1sts next year too thanks to Buffalo.
