Same thing could be said of Jermaine Gresham at tight end. Absolute freak of nature that is like a Adrian Peterson for his position - simply bigger and faster than any other TE out there. You could say the same thing about Trent Williams at RT, who looks to be the best pure RT since Tait.
And Dunlap is just over-the-top freakish physically. He makes Mays look like the Pillsbury dough boy in comparison. Plus there are really good rush ends/34 ROLB in Kindle and Selvie.
Both Mays and Berry look to be Woodson/Reed clones. But we have more immediate needs at a multitude of position other than safety, and with a lot of guys in this next draft that have the potential to be game changers at positions we desperately need, I don't see where using that pick on a safety is the best option.

Why bring up Dunlap? He is a beast of a 4-3 DE but that doesn't really do much for us. I really wanted him until we moved to 3-4 now he's someone we will just have to watch tear it up for another team.
Spikes would be much more of a priority if we were running a 4-3. Could we use a player like him? Absolutely, but I don't think he is better than the safeties coming out. Most have them as the top players on the big board. I do like Spikes as a prospect but don't see him going that high and think he is hyped up a bit being from Florida and all.
I don't think you can pay a RT $40-50 million when Albert will want a higher deal when his contract is up.
I also did mention that I'll be watching Kindle this year and he could eventually become my pick. Selvie is late first early 2nd.
