The Rest of the NFC West: Rounds 2 and 3

No 1st round QB’s taken by Arizona, San Francisco, or Seattle.  They all must be banking on the fact that they will be able to get some good veteran free agent help once they are able to sign players.  Oh, wait.  The 8th Circuit Court issued a temporary stay last night!  Never mind.  This could take a while then.

Arizona Cardinals

Round 2.6 (38th overall):  They select Ryan Williams, the 5′ 9″ 212 lbs. RB from Virginia Tech.  Look out Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells.  You guys have some competition coming your way.

Round 3.5 (69th overall): Is it sad that I can’t even name the current Cardinals TE?  Well whoever he is he’s gonna get to know the Florida Atlantic product, Robert Housler.  Housler stand 6′ 5″, 248 lbs. and is a good pass catcher.

 

San Francisco 49ers

Round 2.4 (36 overall from DEN): Now I think I like this selection.  The 49ers take Colin Kaepernick, QB from Nevada.  He’s a tall 6′ 5″ 233 lbs. passer with potential but he still has to transition from a pistol formation to a pro style offense.  Does this mean that Alex Smith will be the starter for a while?

Round 3.16 (80th overall from JAX): Chris Culliver, DB from South Carolina.  He is also a kick returner and could contribute the special teams game.  Just hope he’s fully recovered from this torn pectoral muscle which caused him to miss the last few games in 2010.

 

Seattle Seahawks

No Round 2 picks.

Round 3.11 (75th pick overall from DET): They picked up another big cog to pull up the O-line in selecting John Moffitt, G from Wisconsin.  He’s 6′ 4″ and 319 lbs.  Still begs to question what Pete Carroll is planning on doing at the QB position.
