[MTK]

So far so good for this draft class.

We are heading in the right direction.

vinny kept his entire last draft, which was also pretty big... and 2 years later fred davis is the last (and only) man standing... so let's make sure they can play first .

and Rob Jackson. Who has looked pretty beastly in preseason. --- Just a random thought, how's this for 3rd down & long 4-3 set: Kerrigan, Orakpo at DE, Cofield, Bowen at DT; Fletcher MLB w/ Jackson and White outside.

Let the offenses try to figure where the pressure is going to come from.

That would resemble the " grits blits "http://www.profootballresearchers.org/Coffin_Corner/20-06-777.pdf or maybe the 85 bears 46 defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I don't expect that kind of success at this point , but would love to see us rack up 45 plus sacks this year .

Lorenzo Alexander would probably adapt to a 4-3 LB better than White. LOL.

I think Jackson has really benefited from the switch to a 3-4. He actually looked better rushing the passer than Kerrigan. And White the other night was just like a monster out there. Now let's see it against the Giants!

I wouldn't be surprised if we play a lot of 2-5 on 3rd & long with Cofield and Bowen down linemen and Fletcher, Kerrigan, Orakpo, Jackson and White bouncing around the LB positions & flashing pressures.

Wouldn't surprise me either , though i would expect to see Fletcher replaced with a DB ( Doughty / Gomes ) and use them or landry as pass rushers .

This. Shanallen drafted the guys and then decided to keep them. No surprise here.

The question which remains to be answered is: can they play in real games? Other teams determine the answer to this question, not Shanallen.

The 2008 class had an entirely different feel to it. The general response from the fan community was "WTF???" Very much a Vinny draft. In 2011, we had solid picks from pretty much top to bottom. Interestingly, the pick I rremember everyone grousing about was Jenkins b/c of his poor reps in the weight room.

Hmmm. Maybe this group watched tape, instead of headlines, to do their draft research.

I never understood that. I really don't care if guys are weight room warriors. This is football, not a strong man competition. Jenkins was having the best camp out of everyone. Such a shame that he got hurt.

LOL Do that and you'll have something special there.
