I agree Burfict is a head case.
I like Belcher alot, he just needs some work in the pass game.

Soliai was really raw coming out of college. He's grown a lot in his game. But I still don't think he's "really, really" good.
With Gregg, Gordon and Powe, I don't think that our defensive tackle position is really in that bad of shape. In Crennel's system, it's a two-down position anyway and I thought that Gregg and Gordon did a pretty good job in 2011, and with further work, Powe has all the tools to be effective.
Truth be told, if our defensive ends played at a little higher level, you'd see a lot more out of that line than thinking there is a hole at the NT position on 1st and 2nd downs. It's not a flash position in this system and simply requires a guy to occupy two blockers. Both Gregg and Gordon did that effectively and I don't really see anyone in this class that gives you anything over a guy like Powe.
