:D Ehhh....I'm not as bad as the usual die-hard Irish fans.....honest.

Surrrre, that's what they all say.

Do they all say that they wish Charlie Weis would get ****ing shit-canned?

Only the smart ones.

Well....I at least have that going for me......which is good.

Wrap this up and put a bow on it!
Hughes is a monster
Bookends at OT, Huge up grade at C
Dan Williams is highly underated and Tenn. has a great tradition for DT

Don't know if anyone will see this since this thread is old, but I thought this fit here. NflDraftCountdown has a Hot List of Draft Risers and Draft Fallers. Here is #1 on that risers list...

1. Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Going into his senior season Dan Williams carried a solid draftable grade but he was overshadowed by some other defensive tackles with higher profiles and more headlines. However, based on the way Williams is playing this year he will have the last laugh on Draft Day. Williams has very good size at 6’3 and 327 pounds and he has shown the ability to both stuff the run and get penetration. A stalwart on the Volunteers defense, Williams has really taken to Monte Kiffin’s scheme and as a result his draft stock is soaring. Last week against Ole Miss, Williams seemed to be involved in every play around the line of scrimmage, racking up 9 tackles including 2 for losses. For some reason Williams still isn’t getting a lot of attention nationally but pro scouts have definitely taken notice of his play. After entering the year as a mid-round possibility Williams is now considered to be one of the top senior prospects at his position and he has put himself in contention to be a second or third round pick next April.

not a good thing for us ... just as soon have him go unnoticed completely so he falls.

Yeah, NFL scouts aren't going to notice him unless a blogger writes about him.

So right now we'd be picking 5th. I'd like for us to pick 1st or out of the top five where we might be able to trade down and get more picks in this years draft or next years draft. Also as I'm studying this draft and the Chiefs I have to really wonder if we wouldn't be better off trading Dorsey and drafting Suh. That would be if we can't trade down. I'm not down on Dorsey either I'm just looking at what would make our 3-4 D the best it can be. We could use the compensation for Dorsey to draft a NT, OT or an OLB/DE. If we traded Dorsey and Tarded down we could possibly have have 5 first day picks.

If we're picking 1st overall.....we're not trading down. No one in their right mind is going to trade up to the #1 pick.

Trading Dorsey would be monumentally stupid. The kid stepped into a position he has no business playing....and he's improving. Keep him there and use our 1st round pick to fill other needs.

If we drafted another 3-4 DE in the 1st round.....I'd go on a killing spree.

whatever smartass ... i was referring to the concept of Williams becoming a rising Draftee.

As long as he doesn't rise higher than a 3rd round pick.....I'm fine. I'd have no problem using a 3rd round pick on our NT.

Except we already had a Dan Williams in our D-line. Not great memories of it. ;)

I never said we would trade the 1st overall if that's where we end up. If we can get out of the top 5 though we may be able to find a trade partner. Now Dorsey has improved and is doing an alright job. But what if Suh can be dominate? That'd be better wouldn't it? I'm not stuck on the idea though it's more like I'm looking at different options.
