7th rounder was traded for pressley

I don't understand this pick. Why? Because he's too small to play the nose.

We already have 2 (or 3) undertackles. Ellis is starter. Young is the backup. And if Orien Harris hasn't bulked up, he'll be an undertackle too. And now, we gave up a 7th, to move up a couple spots, to get - yet another undertackle.

So, Hollis Thomas is expected to play the nose all the time, while we rotate 4 undertackles?

I just don't get this pick. A nose tackle, like the one Hagan pointed out earlier, Ahtyba Rubin, would've made much more sense to me. In addition, that wouldn't have cost us a 7th round pick for any kind of trade.

I just don't understand this.
