Draft draft draft. Did anyone hear the same things I heard about this years class of DL? Although they are talented, none would project to be a good NT. I think it was the NFL network during the Senior Bowl practices. So the draft might not be the answer at that position and why we are looking at Rogers.

Thank God we switched to the 3 4 last season, we might not have as many glaring holes to fill with quick patch work fixes.....

There's only 2 guys that have gotten some press - J. Powe from Missippi (I think) & Taylor from Baylor. If we end up getting a 3rd and/or 4th & one of those guys is there they might be good picks, but at this point it doesn't sound like either one is likely to be that high on our board.
Maybe the biggest positive at the end of the year was the play of Anthony Bryant. I thought the entire defense looked better when he was playing well.
We need help at NT but not with the #10 pick.

Is this sarcasm? We were a top 10 defense for most of the last decade, and last year we were the 31st defense.

Best player available Matty. But it doesnt look like Fairley will be there at 10, so it will be a wideout in all likelihood.

We could trade down and pick up Phil Taylor, the DT from Baylor. However, as someone mentioned, he has had some character issues.

1. Phil Taylor NT, Baylor
2. Jerrell Powe NT, Ole Miss
3. Kendrick Ellis NT, Hampton
One or two of those guys needs to be a redskin come April, or its a failed draft IMO.
