Look at the history of high-profile DT's - both top 5 draft picks and top-dollar free agents - almost NONE of them ever amount to anything. Yeah, I said riskiest, maybe I should have said "most likely to be a bust". I think for some reason the DT position is one of those where guys get by in college because of their unique combination of size and athleticism. They don't spend alot of time on technique (especially 2-gap guys) and because of that they don't have the drive to be "special" in the NFL. |

Pioli might even be able to trade down a bit and still get Raji. I'm not saying it's likely, but it would be a nice turn of events. And the icing on the cake would be a frustrated Donks team not getting the NT they wanted. (Assuming some of the draft-niks are right & the Donks do want him.)

If you're talking generalities and not specifically about players in this draft, then the answer to your question is WR. In some seasons, there will be WR's worth a top 5 pick. Conversely, a RT or coverage LB will NEVER have Top 5 value. And I've already made my feelings known about drafting DT's that high. |

I believe so because this generated much discussion in the Bowe draft class, which was deep with WR talent. |
