    1 27 (27) Antoine Cason CB Arizona
    3 6 (69) Jacob Hester FB LSU (from Raiders via Patriots)
    5 31 (166) Marcus Thomas RB UTEP (compensatory selection)
    6 26 (192) DeJuan Tribble CB Boston Coll.
    7 27 (234) Corey Clark OT Texas A&M

    I guess there adding depth to the CB positon, and seems like Marcus Thomas will be LT's back up.

    Heres some Antoine Cason highlights.

    Cason is a perfect fit for that team....hes not a great athlete, hes just a great football player....with their pass rush, he will be fine at CB and if he cant make it there, he could become a top notch safety

    I like the pick of Hester.

    I wonder though about his being Lorenzo Neal's replacment. He's not exactly a OG lining up in the backfield. To me, he is more of an H-back and s/b IMO used like the Redskins use Chris Cooley.

    They've got this kid Pinnock at the FB position that I expect to get Neal's spot. He played when Neal went down last year and did a fine job at that spot. Nobody, however, can replace the impact that Neal had for Tomlinson.

    I like the pick of Cason, hopefully he can turn into a great #2/#3 CB (depending on how Jammer plays) behind Cromartie.
