Carriker 90
Glover 97
Adeyanju 94
Hall 96
Wroten 99
By selecting a # in the 70s, he'll stand out more to announcers and stat guys. Maybe get a little more notice for that occasional tackle or half-sack.
Just a thought.

I personally would've liked to see him in 92 or 93. But that's just me.
Secondly, if your theory of why he chose 72 is true, it certainly wouldn't endear him to those of us who believe we win as a team and we lose as a team.
And I can imagine the discord in the locker room among his veteran teammates who won't make his signing bonus in their entire careers. So on that note, here's a memo to Chris, do not try to stand out, just fit in.
