There are a couple really interesting players this year who are at a talent level that we probably wouldn't normally have access to with our draft slot but may drop because of injury. The problem being they may not be ready to play until mid/late season or next year.

CB Sidney Jones is quite possibly the best CB in the draft but tore his achilles. Could be a huge steal for us if he's able to come back from the injury but we'd have to wait on him.

TE Jake Butt and CB Fabian Moreau could be available to us at our 2nd round or maybe even later picks

You are typically waiting on rookies to start having a big impact anyways so these guys are something to think about.

I can think of a few guys who we drafted who had injury histories but I can't really think of any that were slotted to go much higher but dropped to us because of injuries. In fact I can't think of many players who Ted drafted who were expected to go much higher injured or not. You know, the guys who make you say "I can't believe he was still there."

That yes he had some injury issues but they believed he was past it. I realize some fans (nerdman will insist he was fine and was actually injured in TC.)

The current GB GM's professed draft strategy has been to draft the best player/s available. Filling the team's greatest needs is not the primary concern . However these two ways of thinking sometimes converge . It has happened before .

IMO, drafting the best CB available may just be one of those intersections this NFL Draft . After-all I am not alone in recognizing how much GB's current squad of CB's truly SUCK BILDGEWATER .

If you want more I can get them for you. It really doesn't matter which players we talk about because we have no idea what players the other GMs are going to select, how soon they will take them, which players are available for Un cle Teddy to choose from and which ones he will want. But if you want the next 100 names or if this top 100 list doesn't keep you busy I can find another one.
