I don't know, man, the Cover 2 MLB needs to be so big and so fast and so skilled in coverage...

That's a hell of a skillset. You can find guys that fit that, but the selection of guys who can blow that out of the water is so rare.

He probably will, LB is a devalued position unless the guy is a pass rusher, people talk about Maualuga and JL all the time but I have a real hard time believing either one is going top 10.

Well the 2 most important positions in the defense are DT and DE...and we need some DE's pretty damn bad.

Mayo isn't a Maualuga or JL; and he went top 10. I dunno, its really hard to say, especially this early.

I hope (and am optimistic about) Hali has a real breakout year this year. Sophomore slump, etc. etc.

I don't think you pick two DTs in the Top 5 two years in a row. Bad business there.

And outside of Johnson, I don't see a DE worth that high of a pick. It initially looks like a weak year at DE.

Mayo moved up that high because he got projected that he could play inside or outside and had great workout numbers.....

Him and Rivers both went high and Keith Rivers is about as polished a college LB as I've ever seen, and frankly I think even the Pats would admit that Mayo pick was a little high due to their needs.

For Spikes to go in the first you're asking 3 MLB's to go in the first plus the OLB's that'll be drafted.....I just don't see 5-6 regular LB's going in the first round.

That was a massive reach by the Pats, though.

I've got news for you.....I can roll off several DE's from this class that are going to be very well thought of and will shoot up boards most likely...

I see it.

You said the same thing about OTs this year and, like, 6 went in the first round.

But is it a deep class?

That's where my concerns lie.

I'd say that was a genuine run on the talent; but it does happen.

That's a highly valued position...I think teams reached on some but the teams overvalue that one just like LB's unless they are pass rushers get undervalued.

No argument from me on that one, lol. I'm just pointing out that they do happen.

That's fair. But I mean teams were trading up for ****ing Sam Baker and Duane Brown went in the 20s.

Insane shit happens. All it takes is two teams, let's say at #11 and #12, take RM and JL, and all of a sudden everyone panics. OMG WTF TRADE UP TAKE LBs GO GO GO
