No need to draft offense with our first pick, when we have the exact same record setting offense from last year... Spagnoulo relies on pressure from the line, which we could not get last year. With his guidance, Hicks can be great. Oh and he probably could play tomorrow and do a better job than Ellis, Rodgers, Franklin did last year... |

I simply didn't like the selection of Hicks, because for one he is vastly unproven, but mainly he doesn't seem to have a want to be great. Everybody loves his potential and so do I, but I have concerns about his character.

Mitch, thanks for the youtube clip.
I like how this guy talked in the interview. He's got the size and the attitude to be an impact player. If Loomis thought enough of this guy to burn our first pick of the draft on a defensive lineman, then obviously they see some major potential here. This is no camp body pick. This was a well thought out selection. I'm in. |

I was a little surprised with the pick because I had no idea who the hell the guy was. He does look like a work in progress but I believe he will adapt quickly. I agree with previous posters that we need to get pressure on the D line so either this or cornerback would have been a good choice.
I hope L Green from UL is still on the board in the 4th so we can snatch him up. |
