Yes, a pass rush would cure a lot of our defense's ills. -
I can definitely see us straying from "best player available" this year. I could see us moving up or drafting for a need. Namely an OLB or DL.- Once again, adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.Comment

TT will not "reach" for a need. He may well trade up though, especially since he should have some extra comp picks.Originally posted by Smeefers View PostI can't run no more

Well, I don't think he'll take third round talent in the first round, but I have a hard time seeing him pick up a wr or a te if they're bpa and I don't see him dropping back if a guy he wants may be gone by the time his turn is up. If that's reaching, then perhaps he will.- Once again, adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.Comment

can't be traded though remember.

You really need to add the "I have no fucking clue" option.......I could vote then.

The poll question is Who should they draft. You don't need a clue to say who you think they should draft. An uninformed opinion will do just fine.Originally posted by Freak Out View PostYou really need to add the "I have no fucking clue" option.......I could vote then.I can't run no more

In that case, I voted other. I strongly believe that they should draft me. I'll take the signing bonus and guaranteed money. They can cut me at anytime.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

Melvin Ingram, South Carolina... dude could start at DE, OLB or HB. Super Athlete.
WATCH!
The fake punt says it all; he's also on their hands team and can supposedly throw a football 75 yards.Comment

Hold on just a minute, if you agree with me, then I'm the one getting drafted in the first round. Although...maybe they can trade the Patriots to get another pick in the first round.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostComment

I would have thought having 3 FBs on the roster would have taught most of us how TT drafts. At very latest, 5 TEs should have ended the lesson.Originally posted by Smeefers View Post
I just do not believe he moves away from BPA. He might do any number of things, but not that.Comment

Ingram is especially impressive physically, but I think he would be kind of a tweener in our system. I'm not entirely sure he'd fit but it'd be interesting. Also I think he's one of those prospects that could be had in the early part of round two, so if that's the route TT decides to go the "trade down" option wouldn't necessarily be terrible.Originally posted by mission View PostMelvin Ingram, South Carolina... dude could start at DE, OLB or HB.

I'd rather TT addresses the OLB position early on. Upshaw is good, as far a pass rush I'm not sure he's at the top of the OLB class but he definitely is capable. I think his strength lies in containing the edge and bull rushing if necessary.
One of the more interesting pure pass rushing OLB (IMO) is Bruce Irvin out of West Virginia. He was a JUCO player his first two years but burst on to the scene at WV his junior season putting up 14 sacks. His senior season stats digressed a bit as he only had 8.5 sacks but he was able to tally up 29 tfl. He's another prospect that could probably be had in the second, but he brings a lot of upside. Only downer on Irvin is questionable character concerns, which may ultimately take him off TT big board but he's definitely intriguing. Check him out.
Other possible prospects that TT could look for at #28 are... Dontari Poe, DT Memphis; Devon Still, DT PSU; Jared Crick, DE Nebraska; Alameda Ta'amu, DT Washington; and Zach Brown, OLB UNC. I might also see TT drafting a MLB in the first if a top talent like Vontaze Burfict out of Arizona St. falls to us. As far as secondary players that might be available at #28 I don't think this is a a great draft for the safety position. Mark Barron out of Alabama will likely be available but it might be a little bit of a reach to pick him. As far as CB's, the only player that I can see being available and worth the 28th pick is Janoris Jenkins from North Alabama. But he doesn't fit the size prototype TT looks for and has some serious off the field concerns.
It'd be logical to think TT will address either OLB or DL early after looking at various boards and seeing who may be available when we're picking, but we all know TT works in mysterious ways and I've learned to accept whatever the hell he does, because it typically works. One concern I'd have about drafting DL early in the draft is TT track record when trying to address that position. But if a good prospect is available I don't think TT will hesitate to pull the trigger on a DL player.Comment

I like Mercilus. Not only can he seriously get after the QB, but we can give him the nickname Ming the Mercilus.2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

I know many people are not a fan because of his emotional instability, but do you think we could reign him in? I've seen him falling in a lot of mocks because of his problems, but Vontaze Burfict seems like a monster beast!
