I disagree somewhat as team philosphy (Al Davis going for pure speed vs skills), small school vs "name" which I think will effect McCourty, system of O. or D. for example do we want a cover CB or zone? I think one of the things that effect some teams is what I call "follow the leader". One team selects a small super fast RB or big fat DT or OL and is successful and other GMs copy. I began pushing Kyle WIlson when he was rated as a 4th rounder despite having "shut down type" CB skills, speed and play. Now he may go before our #20. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think Jethro Clampett said that.

I would be STUNNED if Haden was there at 20.

Then again, I was stunned in 2004 when Wilfork dropped to 21, so anything could happen.

If he is, I expect Rick Smtih to put on his track shoes and sprint up to the podium. Haden is top 10 talant. He should be taken well before our pick.
