Ok, I'm fine with a cornerback. I had that position listed as their #1 need. Fine. But Aqib Talib? When Mike Jenkins was still available? I'm pretty surprised. Talib seems to me like an underachiever with great talent. He's the kind of guy who, because of his inconsistency, can be a risk to be a huge bust. He also has the potential to be a Pro Bowler, but I don't think you take that kind of chance in the first round. Jenkins was more of the sure thing. Maybe he doesn't have the game-breaking ability that Talib has, but that doesn't matter if he won't use it.
Besides, Aqib's name has a "q" without a "u". What the hell is that all about?

Boom or Bust. I like this pick alot. Jenkins is smaller plus would be pressure with home town team. Talib is a returner as well and can learn under Barber and Wilson. Really am excited... but will probably lose in your mock contest as I chose Balmer.

I like his tackling abilities, but I'm really concerned with his off field issues and failed drug tests. I'm really hoping that Desean Jackson keeps falling to the second pick.

I think Jenkins would have been the better pick.
As for the "u" thing, have you spelled "Aquib" wiht a "u"? That's even stranger Scott.
