Re: C's Want Big Defensive Guard In Draft

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

The only thing is there are not really any big points other than Pepe
Sanchez who at our pick would be a reach. Jason Hart is possibly the best
defender but a reach also and not real big. I can't recall any real
defensive 2's. Possible candidates:

Morris Peterson
Michael Redd
Johnny Hemsley
Quentin Richardson
Demarr Johnson would be great but needs 2-3 years and  I do not expect him
to be there.

They should get this via free agency/trade for Fortson
