Thanks! Don't know why I didn't just do that.

Inside the Panthers: Rivera hitting road to see Newton (http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2011/03/rivera-hitting-road-to-see-newton.html)

Best case scenario is trading back and picking up an additional second round pick and then with our 3 picks second and first round taking a combo of NT, QB, and DE/OLB.

Sounds about right to me. Dallas may screw up our chances of trading back.

The Redskins officials conducting the interview included Snyder. Interesting when you're talking about a player projected to be less than a 1st round pick.

He won't be selected 10th overall, that's for sure. Not a dominating prospect in my opinion.

I agree.......just thought Snyder was out of the business of conducting interviews.

Taylors good, but like the article said, he is a late first round pick and 10 is too high for us to take him, and and 42 is too low.

I think Kenrick Ellis and Jerrell Powe are just as good as Taylor, and just as capable of playing the NT position effectively as he would.

NT is a very hard position to pick, it's like drawing straws. Most drafts NTs Are 50-50

I think Steve Young said it best, to paraphrase him, DT (or NT) is a position in which desire determines success as much as anything. I know that could be said of any position, but the point he was making is that DT/NT's can have a thankless job, getting double-teamed, ending up on the bottom of a pile of 300+ lb. men. It would be easy to give up on many plays at that position, and that's what a lot of them get a bad rep for, e.g. Rogers, Haynesworth to name a couple. Taylor has the same rep to some degree.
