Raji might be if the team is for sure switching to the 3-4.

Taking a LT makes me want to ****ing throw up.

I wouldn't be shocked at all. It wouldn't surprise me if there are plenty of teams out there that are picking lower then us that Im sure are coveting players they want that are going to go in the top 5.

Were in a great situation. The situation you want to be in rebuilding your franchise.

talkin about drafting another DT is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Yes it is. How many DT's have we taken high since 2000? Too many....

I really really really think Pioli would swing a trade to get disgruntled Shaun Rogers from Cleveland to be our NT for soon to be DC Romeo Crennel.

me too, hopefully lj's included

2001: first pick = Eric Downing; 7th round = Terdell Sands

2002: first pick = Ryan Sims; second pick = Eddie Freeman (I had a full on meltdown)

2003: 7th pick = Montique Sharpe

2004: first pick = Junior Siavii

2007: second pick = Turk McBride; third pick = Tank Tyler

2008: first pick = Glen Dorsey

That would be sick. They're in the market for a new TE now, too.

Strong TE class in the draft this year.

I understand this perspective entirely. It is sickening in a lot of respects.

When I look at Raji I keep remembering how Belichick built his defense around Seymour.

Not particularly. If Gresham had come out, sure.

Pettigrew, Coffman, and Ingram represent as solid a top-three TE class as we've seen in a decade.

For KC I'd love one of the latter two, but I think both will be off the board by the time we pick in the 3rd.

I'd rather play bump and run with the SS at the line and the FS playing Cover 1.

Presumably, they're going to run predominantly Cover 1 with the SS up at the line. Page isn't suited for Cover 1 at all. He lacks top-end speed and his zone discipline is awful.
