RE: Another DE
 

well I give our staff credit at least he was invited to the combine.

I did hear that the Redskins were looking at him and he was projected in 4-5 round.

Apparently, he's got a knack for getting after the QB. He's also played Tight End. He may be a quality guy, we'll just have to wait and see.

Named Second-Team All-Big Ten Conference as a senior when he placed fifth on the Boilermakers with 48 tackles, of which 17 came behind the line of scrimmage...Led Purdue in TFLs as well as sacks in 2005 with a total of eight, adding a pair of interceptions and forced fumbles for good measure...Tied the Big Ten record with seven tackles for loss in a single game against Ohio State, posting four sacks in the contest to match a Purdue standard as well...Appeared in all 12 games in 2004 and even though he was considered a reserve working along with Ray Edwards, Ninkovich tied for second in the Big Ten with eight sacks...Was a Third-Team NJCAA All-American as a sophomore when he starred for Joliet Junior College and was part of the NJCAA national championship squad as a freshman...Plenty of pass rushing ability and is extremely disruptive in opposing backfields...Is a perfect example of an overachiever and would probably be better suited moving to linebacker to make an impact in the pros.

sounds ok to me. again it sounds like payton is looking for guys that will work hard

After reading all of these, I'm beginning to like this guy more and more.

he isn't bad but a bit of a reach when there are others better available.

So we're drafting this guy over and over this weekend?

:lol:

Well, he does give up depthat either LB or DE....I can go with it.

4th rounder was a good depth pick. I can see the method to Payton's madness, but still getting used to it. We have done a great job of trading to use picks as force multipliers each round...smart moves

He will be hammering on special teams as well.

Special Teams is a unit of the team that desperately needs improvement.

Maybe we can convert one of our many DE's to OT so someone can block for Brees, Deuce, & Bush.
