How many of these guys are above league average at their position. Any of them?
If we had to pick the best guy out of that group, who would we take? Cofield? Jenkins? Jenkins has yet to play a snap, but might very well be our best DL-man.
I would say Carriker, Bowen, and Cofield are above average. I see Jenkins becoming special as well.

^ So you say they were below average last year?Bowen and Carriker without question. In Cofield's case, the group of "nose tackles" is so small and exclusive that it's hard to say he was below average. I thought he performed adequately.
Cofield was below average as far as as all defensive tackles go, but that might have just been an effect of the scheme, i.e. he's doing the job of two men in a 4-3 scheme. Same with Carriker and Bowen I suppose, although Bowen wore down considerably after a hot start. He wasn't good at all when we had that long losing streak.
I wouldn't pick any of the five as not NFL caliber. I think it's just mostly a group of available guys, and Jenkins, the prospect who hasn't played a snap yet.

NT's? I mean we have some solid NT's now as it is. Theres some good ones in the draft, but thats not a bigger need than secondary, OL, ILB, WR, 3rd string RB, etc.

After the third round, you're either taking a big guy and hoping to teach him to be good, or you're taking a smaller guy with the skill set (like Neild) and asking him to put on weight for the role.
The three are
Poe, Memphis
Ta'amu, Washington
Chapman, Alabama

What happend to Aaron ross? Haven't heard where he is or what he's doing.
Side note:
I'm glad we traded for RG3 more and more because Matt Flynn signed with Seattle not miami like expected. Would have cost more had Miami of know this and manning.
