Yeah I think Brown is a great pick, I personally rate him higher than Jennings. This is a guy the Hawks should love to get at this point.
You're not the first person that I've seen say this and I think they are both quality backs. I think Brown has alot more upside, but I think Jennings is right now the better back.
My critiques:
Kansas City - While I think Kyle Moore could end being a productive rotational DE, I think there were a Big 10 and Division II DE that are much better suited for the Chiefs attack. He also had knee surgery in 08 so durability becomes a concern. But having said that, he was often overshadowed by the talent on USC's roster and he could be a gem in waiting. But I think this was a reach in round 4 when there are more proven commodities out there.
St. Louis - With the release of Torry Holt, it was eventual that the Rams would have to find a new WR. Ramses Barden is a big target...at 6-6 and 227, he reminds me of a slower version of Matt Jones (except he wont be making a transition from QB to WR). He's got a lot of potential and will be a red zone threat. He's used to having the ball in his hands, averaging 131 yds and a score in each game this year. He's got great leaping ability and is a long strider that will definitely help the Rams this year. I like this pick alot.
Cleveland - I chose Chip Vaughn, the SS out of Wake Forest for a couple of reasons. First, with the loss of Sean Jones to FA, their was a need right away that hadnt been addressed. And I dont consider Mike Adams a good replacement. Vaughn is fast, strong, and athletic. He's not afraid to come up and play the run at all. He's a blue collar kid that seems built for SS.
Seattle - I dont think Seattle made a poor choice with Andre Brown. Believe it or not, I was thinking about him with the Giants back in the third round after Jennings was selected. He's a bruiser but he was banged up alot in college. I really think that will serve him better as a pro because he's got less miles on him. He's a good compliment to Jones, and with the loss of Morris to FA, I can see the need for depth here. He's definitely an upgrade over Duckett and is reminiscent of Shawn Alexander, who led them to playoffs consistently. Nice selection.
Cincy - Some might not like this pick since the Been-to-Jails need to keep upgradinig, but they havent had a solid running game since Rudy Johnson's first two years. Jeremiah Johnson can catch out of the backfield, cut on a dime, and push the pile. I love the pick for this team, but my only problem is that you took him in round 4. Seeing as how this ends in 4 rounds, I can understand, but in a 7 round mock....he's more of a late 5th to early 6th round projection, but I think a good one for Cincy.
