Round one DT with a trade wont happen
Round two without trading down wont happen. atlanta at 3 will govern the DT available in 2. They have two picks ahead of us and DT will happen in those three picks.

Round three. now we are talking.
Red Bryant, Texas A&M, 6041, 318, 5.04
Ahtyba Rubin, Iowa St., 6027, 315, 5.17
DeMario Pressley, North Carolina St., 6031, 301, 5.14

Round 4
Andre Fluellen, Florida St., 6019, 296, 5.00
Nick Hayden, Wisconsin, 6039, 291, 5.17

Round 5
Frank Morton, Tulane, 6020, 331, 5.35

If the aforementioned trade doesnt happen and we can not get Dorsey or Ellis, then IMO there are no other impact players that can crack the lineup. I think a guy like Pressley or Fluellen from this group could get some time in the rotation. I also think that you mentioned Guion in another post and I think that he would be a good backup to groom into the position. But there will not be much of an impact at DT from the draft without Dorsey or Ellis.

Rubin in the 3rd would be perfect. He is ne of the best run stuffers in the draft. I watched the Senior Bowl practices and I was never impressed with Fluellen. So if I could have a perfect draft without trading it would be DRC, Xavier Adibi, than Rubin.

To hell with run stuffers. We have that and it hasn't done well for us. We need young, dominate, inside pass rushers. Get to the QB disrupt the offense.

DRC has done what his whole college career? He was off the radar till the Senior Bowl. One dame doesn't warrant a top 10 pick.

I've actually seen DRC play in real life. I live a couple of hours away from the college. Trust me, he is good. One problem I don't like is he tries to be physical sometimes too much. And I know we tried the fat experiment. But I still like Rubin. Double teamed alot.
