There was a lot of guys still on the board that could have been had with our fourth round pick that I personally felt were better than Gaines.
Dontae Johnson, Nevin Lawson, Pierre Desir.
I think it was a reach. Not a huge one, but there were a lot of guys who people had rated higher still on the board.
Revisionist history, but how the draft and our free agency ended up, I would have had the following as my draft picks:
1. Darqueze Dennard, CB; Michigan State
3. Donte Moncrief, WR; Ole Miss
4. Cyril Richardson, OL; Baylor
5. Ryan Carrethers, DT; Arkansas State
6. Jeff Janis, WR; Saginaw State
6. Trevor Reilly, LB; Utah
And Albert Wilson and Dan Sorensen would have been my priority UDFA's. So at least Dorsey and I agreed on that.
I never expected Dennard to be on the board when we picked as I felt he was actually the best shut down corner in the draft.
