    Mike Mickens is another solid 7th round pick. This guy was a potential 1st round pick before he had knee surgery prior to the Senior Bowl that dropped his draft stock. A steal like Scandrick.

    Agree BB. I was hoping they would look at him in the 6th. Like this pick a lot. They took a similar chance with Canty a few years back when he dropped cause of an injury. I think someone woke up JJ in round 7. Cause some of those 5-6 round picks had me scratching my head. Namely drafting a kickoff specialist?!?

      Yeah, I checked the kicker's bio and he can play a few different positions. Not your run-of-the-mill kicker. Not sure what they are going to use him for, but he's played safety and special teams in the past. Was a strange pick, but I guess they have a potential spot for him.
