Also for those not aware Shazier ran a 4.36 40 time. When we play SF again we could have Shazier spy Kap, hes not out running him.

I would be fine with Beckam round one....he's a sneaky pick. I would throw up on myself if we took Nix. I know everybody keeps noting Shazier as a ILB....which he can play...but the dude can also play OLB...and the dude can rush the passer...........he's the opposite of Nick Perry....he's an ideal 3-4 fit
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

Yea drafting for need never works out...
Matthews was drafting for want!
The drafting for need versus BPA debate cracks me up. Good teams combine both strategies. Consider the absurd example - say you had players rated and every time your selection came up the BPA was a WR - you wouldn't draft 9 WRs - you have your team needs and maybe you pick the position you need who is rated slightly less than the BPA WR because, well because you aren't Mike Ditka or Matt Millen.

I don't know this for a fact, but I get the sense that many GMs rank players in groups of comparable ability (high R2, mid R2, etc.) vs. a pure force ranking (e.g., #38, #39), and if there are two players with comparable ability but one plays at a position of greater need they take that player. A player who drops far enough where they are ranked better than others would be the pick (or you trade down if you really don't need/want them) -- I would assume that's how they ended up with Rodgers and Lacy.
GMs that absolutely love someone at a position of need and trade up for that player (CM3) would logically only do so because they think there's value in doing so. I think that's different from drafting purely on need when you're on the clock because you're actively making a trade to get a specific player who you think will fit vs. letting fate decide who's the best 3-4 OLB left on the board.
Maybe that's a long way of saying that I agree that teams combine both strategies. There's no way TT drafts 9WRs. TT tilted towards need on his picks a bit too much on 2012 (the infamous all-D draft) and he's been rightly roasted for it.
The draft boards I have seen (most of them Cowboy boards pictured in the background, but not all) have players listed by a round grade. I am sure the values and scores might differentiate further, but I am not sure those are used on draft day.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
He can blitz rrom the inside at the pro level and not be exposed for being underweight. He would also be involved in more plays, theoretically, due to being in the middle of the field. That would be a plus if he actually performs to his first round draft slot.
If he can cover the Vernon Davis types and the Colin Kaep types then hes definitely worth a look... we have a major hole that those two exploit so that would help a lot... it seems like the TE position has been a thorn in our side for quite some time... maybe he solves that problem...
Now what y'all know about dem Texas boys
Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise!!!
I'd put Shazier at ILB and keep the behemoths like Neal and Perry at OLB to set the edge vs. the run or maul the RT on the way to the QB. If I needed a backer to cover a RB or a TE, I'd want someone like Shazier over Neal/Perry though.
LOL Marshmellow Outhouse. Poor guy -- he's like the Star Trek Redshirt of OT's. Glad he got paid to play for Cincy. We'lll see how that works out.
