Cason has already been to Foxboro for two visits. I think Cason will be there early second round - there is so much db talent in this draft, not to mention Cason projects as a zone corner, and most teams with db needs run a lot of man....This draft is loaded with Corners - Mckelvin, Talib, DRC, Flowers and Porter to name a few.. Cason will be rated lower then these players, but for a team that runs a lot of zone - ( like the pats) he will be rated very high....I would crap my pants if the pats pulled of the draft I listed above.. This is how I see the o8 draft - (value wise) for the partriots...I didn't include certain players - (like Mcfadden and Ryan), because I feel there is no chance the pats draft them...Tier 1 -- Value #1-#8Jake Long OT MichiganChris Long LB VirginiaSedrick Ellis DE Georgia TechRyan Clady OT Boise StGlen Dorsey -USCTier 2 -- Value #9-#20Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB Tennessee StVernon Gholston LB Ohio StQuentin Groves LB AuburnLeodis McKelvin CB TroyTier 3 -- Value #21-#35Chad Henne QB MichiganFelix Jones RB ArkansasAndre Caldwell WR FloridaMalcolm Kelly WR OklahomaDevin Thomas WR Michigan StLimas Sweed WR TexasEarly Doucett WR LSUChris Williams OT VanderbiltBrandon Albert G VirginiaDerrick Harvey LB FloridaKentwan Balmer DE North CarolinaAqib Talib CB KansasTier 4 -- Value #36-#55Joe Flacco QB DelawareEarl Bennett WR VanderbiltJames Hardy WR IndianaAnthony Collins OT KansasGosder Cherilus OT Boston CollegeCliff Avril LB PurdueErin Henderson LB MarylandJerod Mayo LB TennesseeJohnathan Goff LB VanderbiltRed Bryant NT Texas A&MTracy Porter CB IndianaBranden Flowers CB Virginia TechReggie Smith DB OklahomaAntoine Cason CB ArizonaTier 5 -- Value #56-#75Matt Forte RB TulaneEddie Royal WR Virginia TechEric Young G TennesseeEzra Butler LB NevadaPat Sims DE AuburnMarcus Harrison DE ArkansasTrevor Laws DE Notre DamePatrick Lee CB AuburnQuentin Demps S UTEPTier 6 -- Value #76-#100Chris Johnson RB East CarolinaOneil Cousins OL UTEPCharles Godfrey CB IowaChevis Jackson DB LSUSimeon Castille DB AlabamaTom Zbikowski S Notre DameJamar Adams S MichiganJosh Barrett S Arizona StTier 7 -- Value #101-#125Josh Johnson QB San DiegoKevin Smith RB Central FloridaOwen Schmitt FB/TE West VirginiaJacob Hester RB LSUBrad Cottam TE TennesseeJohn Greco OT ToledoMike Pollack C Arizona StStanford Keglar LB PurdueJeremy Thompson LB Wake ForestAhtyba Rubin NT Iowa StFrank Okam NT TexasTier 8 -- Value #126-#150Erik Ainge QB TennesseeRay Rice RB RutgersLavelle Hawkins WR CaliforniaCraig Stevens TE CaliforniaKellen Davis TE Michigan StDuane Brown OT Virginia TechDrew Radovich G USCJeremy Zuttah G RutgersKory Lichtensteiger C Bowling GreenJohn Sullivan C Notre DameChase Ortiz ILB TCUDwight Lowery CB San Jose StJonathan Zenon CB LSUJonathan Wilhite CB AuburnCraig Steltz S LSUTier 9 -- Value #151-#200Sam Kellar QB NebraskaThomas Brown RB GeorgiaJustin Forsett RB CaliforniaPeyton Hillis FB TexasChauncey Washington RB USCJalen Parmele RB ToledoMarcus Henry WR KansasPaul Hubbard WR WisconsinJerome Simpson WR Coastal CarolinaGary Barnidge TE LouisvilleDrew Miller C FloridaTrevor Scott LB BuffaloGary Guyton LB Georgia TechJameel McClain LB SyracuseHilee Taylor LB North CarolinaJeremy Leman LB IllinoisNick Hayden DE WisconsinJack Ikeguonu CB WisconsinBob Williams S Bethune-CookmanTier 10 -- Value #201-UDFASeth Adams QB MississippiAlbert Young RB IowaMarcus Thomas RB UTEPKeon Lattimore RB MarylandJustin Beaver RB Wisconsin - WhitewaterBo Ruud ILB NebraskaRoderick Johnson ILB Oklahoma StJason Thornhill ILB Michigan St
Vernon Gholston is a solid pick especially with an ageing LB group
not gonna happen Chris longs going to Miami the gm accidentally said "the player we choose is gonna be the cornerstone of our defence for years to come"
As long as the Falcons go with a Dorsey or Long at #3, then it's a lock the Ravens get Matt Ryan at #8.But if I were the Falcons, I'd take Ryan in a heart beat.
Looks like the Dolphins have already signed Chris Long.

Your right on top of things
1 down,6 to go huh
I'm on top of things. In other recent news, who do you like in the Super Bowl?
Chiefs trade Allenhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3362701
Got this from ESPN. Looks like the Chiefs will be stocking their roster with high draft picks this year.The Chiefs now have the No. 5, No. 17, No. 35, No. 66, No. 73 and No. 82 picks in the draft.
Me too. I'm dying to know what Atlanta is doing at the #3 spot. If they pass on Ryan and take Dosey or Long, I'll be psyched. That would mean Ryan should drop to the Ravens at #8.
