Round 2

[red]

None of those teams play a 3-4 defense. Hence, the reason that I said a 3-4 ILB is valued less than almost every other position in a 3-4 scheme. The record stands. Half the league plays a 3-4 defense, so there are about 32 starting ILBs in a 3-4 defense and only 3 ILBs were drafted by 3-4 teams in the first two rounds the last two years combined.

so about 20% of the teams that play 3-4 have drafted an ILB in the first 2 rounds the last 2 years?

in the last 5 drafts, when we needed a starting quality ILB

we've spent a 6th a 5th a 6th a 7th a 4th (bradford may or not be an ILB) and another 4th last year

none of those have panned out, we need draft higher quality guys in the higher rounds. we HAVE to

Clever that you limit it to the first 3 rounds, so you can ignore Jake Ryan last year in round 4!

No; he hasn't given it high round attention; but he has drafted Manning, Smith, Barrington and a few others that you figured would get looks inside. He hasn't given center much direct attention either, or guard above the third round for that matter.

the problem is that TT has had pretty high success drafting centers and guards in mid to late rounds

he's not had that kind of luck with ILB

i think it was telling last night when TT was asked if the new guy was a NT and he said "i don't know where he'll play, i just pick them"

you got M3 saying you absolutely need to find an ILB cause clay is moving back outside. and then you have ted just ignoring him and doing what he wants

Danny Trevathan ILB, who everyone wanted us to sign as an UFA, was a 6th round pick.

there are gems. but TT doesn't seem to be able to find the ILB gems, kinda like how he sucks at picking d-line

Lots of fucking around to be done before we get to the secondary reason we're here......drafting players.

Ok - so what's better. NFL Channel or ESPN. I had NFL Channel on last night - Gruden annoys me sooo much - couldn't watch ESPN.

ESPN was barely tolerable. I haven't watched them in years but I wanted to stream it high def instead of standard def on my computer room tv.


Couldn't do that with NFL network.
