Trying some reverse psychology on me?
After much debating, and even thoug it pains me to pass up on such a monster tackle that Dexter is, with 1.02, the Vampires select WR Charles Richmond out of USC.
Richmond will be the first true star wide receiver on a roster famous for its receiving 'corpse'.
He is a combine workout warrior (fastest man in the draft, smartest and strongest WR, 3rd most agile WR).
Charles will be a 1st year starter and an instant upgrade to our offense. Hopefully the weapon Titone was waiting for...[/quote6a30141]
You're very perceptive, but to be honest, I really didn't care who you picked. If you picked Cooley, I would have gotten Richardson at #3. In fact, that's what I was counting on happening.
However, when I made the trade to get to #3, I knew that there was an outside chance that the best player in the draft would be available at #3. Both Santa Cruz and Detroit had stud tackles already and both needed WR's.
Since I already have a Tackle mentor on my team, Big Dexter (as opposed to Little Dexter Bleeck) will be a welcome addition to the Pride.
You obviously realized that Richardson would not be there if you traded down to 6 or lower (Since I wasn't going to trade and Albany already has said that they were looking to reduce cap costs). So, kudos to you for making a ballsy call and taking the WR at #2. He looks like a stud. Good luck with him.
Now as I said before:
Come to Papa, Big Dexter!
PS: Shooter, are you nuts? I'm not moving him to RT just because of 2 games against Santa Antonia. That's not to say that he won't play RT in those games against Santa Antonia, though.
With the third pick in the 2011 draft, Shreveport selects [b6a30141]LT Big Dexter Cooley[/b6a30141] from Northwestern!
