right, and here lies the problem with most of the OLB's at the top of the draft: they are pass rushers only. The only ones that seem to be able to play the run and pass cover are Gregory and Dupree. As much as I would like more pass rushers on this team, I don't want another Gallett at 13 or anywhere in the first. Gregory and Dupree are the only two I would take, but this failed test is a concern. I agree that later in the first round it's a worthwhile risk, but it's tough to pull the trigger at 13. I'm not opposed to it, but I am uncomfortable with it.

As for White, his talent level is too high to pass him up. We do have time at the WR position to develop a player. Who knows when we will have the opportunity to grab someone like this again. To miss out on a Terell Owens without the baggage only because you don't want to take a player that may need a year or two to reach his potential is folly. Yes we want our draft picks to provide immediate impact, but the future should not be compromised for immediate gratification. Plus there's nothing indicating he won't provide this year.

If a Gregory or some other player is on the board along with White, and those players are rated to have the same elite ceiling as him, then take the one that fits the scheme and team the most. I am fine with that. I am not a scout and can only go by the things I have been reading. This is why I don't usually get pissed at our picks and give a wait and see approach before judging
