    This guy is going to report to camp at 315, grab Langs old spot and we will all be praising Teddy ballgame for picking Kofi (who we all wanted all along...honest)
    lol good points, and I had already forgotten he was drafted. Guess he should have gotten arrested so we would know who he was. The J. Evans signing should give him some time to develop, hope maybe he can back up center too.

    lol I'm all in with Kofi. Little known fact - he's a Ghanan prince I think....
    This is where I'm supposed to say, 'Fits a need. Fills a void. Good upside. That means I finally hit one who I don't know. I did not write him up.... He's a big hulking looking guy....

    Good value. Tough. Competitive. Smart. All that stuff I'm supposed to say when I don't have a clue.


    NFL.com has the complete breakdown.

    Leave it to Ted to find the one guy in the draft nobody knows. How can he not be great?

    Loving the looks of Josh Jones, Safety, North Carolina State. Just a hunch, but something is telling me he's gonna be something special.

    Adams. Because TT's defensive line picks need all the help they can get.

    Least excited about Biegel. His highlight film seems to feature him running up to the pile after the play is over.

    Because everybody loves speed/size. I like football players. Not sold on the Ghostpepper. Pb says he needs a spicy name so I hereby dub thee Josh "the ghostpepper" Jones.

    I love the Josh Jones, Adams, Williams, and Beigel picks. Favorite is probably J. Jones. He seems built for today's NFL and a swiss army athlete in the back of our Defense sounds awesome. Adams seemed like the biggest steal of the draft. Lots of talent there at an impact position. Williams seems perfectly tailored for what MM likes to do with RBs. Beigel will be fun to watch. I think you've got to give everybody a chance to succeed at OLB who has any potential there but its sweet to have a guy who can play inside as a plan B. They say the whole defense takes on the character of the middle linebacker; if that's the case we could do worse than Biegel.

    King seems boom or bust to me so I'm trying to temper expectations. A potential big press corner with wheels is clearly worth taking a shot on. If he succeeds the defense will be transformed.

    Take out "the". Make it just Josh "Ghostpepper" Jones.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    My favorite will be whoever steps up and plays great. I'm hoping it is a battle between King and Jones, because that will really help the defense.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    How else could Washington -- WASHINGTON!? -- make it into the final four last year? When is the last time they've even been in the conversation? Their defense was insane.
    Also probably why they got rolled up on... you don't need that many secondary guys against Alabama. Starts up front. Made a big difference in the Pac 12 though.

    My surprise pick for actual impact/contributions is RB Aaron Jones. I'm still beating the Perine dead horse and wish we would have taken him but I just have a feeling that this kid is going to surprise us. I especially like his pass catching abilities to go along with the wiggle that he brings to the position.

    3rd Down Back you say?


    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I think this could work if we shorter it to Ghost.

    What do you think?

    Just edit his wikipedia page to put in the full ghost pepper explanation in.

    After that Ty Dunne piece about his workout habits, should be 'Hill' Williams.

    You aren't the first person to say this about Jones.

    Going with the hot pepper theme, being that Jones played at NC State, can't we call him The Carolina Reaper?
