Looking more and more like D-tackle first pick

cgctobe · 04-07-2008, 10:21 PM

With just about every position on defense being addressed since the start of free agency except for d-tackle, it looks like thats the direction we will go with the first pick.Whats your take ?

Unless Ellis or Dorsey falls a dt will not be drafted untill round two.

DT Trevor Laws Notre Dame. Coach O like fast guys. But not with the first pick. Third round maybe.

Trevor Laws blows, no offense QBREES9. I wouldn't want any part of that Notre Dame team, especially an undersized, overachieving defensive tackle who, what do you know, is just like Brian Young.

Husker's right, there isn't a DT worth taking in the top ten after Dorsey and Ellis. As a matter of fact I don't know if there's another DT in this draft that I would take in the first round after those two.

Ellis or Dorsey, if not I like dre moore in the 2nd.....just no Balmer!!

I don't know. I really hope the Saints don't think that signing a 14 year, 5'8" corner is going to solve their secondary problem. I'm wondering if they signed Glenn to be a mentor to whatever corner they take in the first. Hopefully. We need some new, young blood.

no way unless Ellis or Dorsey falls to ten there taking Rivers.....

but in the 2 are 3 round they could take a DT like Trevor Laws

Really looks like it now after hearing we want to trade up with the Rams to get Dorsey.

trevor laws(6'304) is almost the exact same size as dorsey(6'1 297lbs), had a faster 40 and shuttle time, and performed at a similar level with out all the help dorsey had around him. i'm not going to say that laws is equal to dorsey at this time, but laws in the second round is a MUCH better value than trading multiple picks and/or players for dorsey.
