That would be the FA lineman.

Oh jesus. This is like an annual tradition now?

Moving arguably the best 3-4 ILB to ever enter the draft and wasting his ability at OLB sounds great to be because of his size even though hes about the same size as some of the best MLB's in the game ROFL

Also keep in minde we have a good D cord. That could teach him along with Vrabel. Then we could try to sign a guy like Barret Rudd from the Bucs to play IMLB or draft one. Hopefully B.Spikes falls to the 2nd round. What do yall think, bash away.

I don't neg rep people, but you just came awfully close.

I think it's comical to see some people think all LB's are interchangeable and have pass rushing skills.

Outside LB's in a 3-4 are pass rushers, it is not a position just anyone can play, learn this.

Which is why it would be nice if we picked up a guy like Sergio Kindle with our first pick in the second round. He's athletic enough to play either side and has shown the ability to be able to get to the passer and disrupt the backfield from a LB position.

He's also a Texas player that's been underproductive in relation to his physical talent...

It's not playing to his strengths at all... yeah he could play the outside and he would probably be average at best but you put him inside and he is a monster

Perhaps if we bench broke-dick Vrabel and let Studebaker play and develop, get our elite safety, and pursue an LB in round two, we could have both foresight AND not be completely reeruned!

BossChief 01-15-2010 08:23 PM

Ill say this too, if Berry doesnt run a 4.4 40 at the combine and runs a 4.5+, he may slip a few spots because the class is rounding out to a good one. Not out of the top ten, but I can see him slipping a few spots. This draft will have good safety options through round two and three.

Was Derrick Thomas an ILB or OLB at Bamma?

Mecca 01-15-2010 08:37 PM

He was a pass rusher...he never played inside ever.

Personally I like this better, but more than likely we're gonna see a bunch of WTF picks.

1. SS Eric Berry
2. ILB Brandon Spikes
2. OG Mike Iupati
3. OLB Eric Norwood
4. WR Denario Alexander
5. OT Chris Scott
5. RB Montario Hardesty
6. QB Max Hall
7. BPA

we dont have a 6 or 7. The Dolphin boys and Oconnel

McClain is physical,smart and disciplined .... everything that DJ isn't. This will allow DJ to be a moron and run around and not kill our defense as much.

very good points.

this

but lets be real mecca, even if he was productive, measured well, timed well and everything else...you still wouldnt like him because hes from Texas. Toilet brush ring a bell?

An OLB in a 3-4 has to be able to take on blockers and shed and tackle when he's on run defense.

This is an obvious no.

:thumb: very well said chiefzilla. You've pretty much summed it up in a nice, short, sweet and simple way. Good job!

It's that time of year again for the Big 12 hatred mantra to kick in full force.

McCoy (both of them) sucks.

Gresham plays at a position that doesn't warrant him being drafted until the start of free agency.

Suh is a broke dick (same manner as Peterson) that an NFL GM would never touch.

Okung sucks.

Bryant, Shipley and Alexander are all products of the shitty spread system.

Meirer runs a 5.6 40 and should never be on an NFL team.

Weatherspoon has safety size and will get washed out in the pros.

Anyone from Texas is talented, but infinitely lazy and worthless as a NFL prospect and there's no way that they will make it in the NFL and if they do, I'll rape myself with a toilet brush.
