Let me clarify - Smith isn\'t bad against the run - he will be used that way this season (mostly).

In any case, my suggestion is that if Smith really blows up as a rookie that they move Howard to DT, use him at both DT and DE in the rotation (he\'s gotta be Young\'s size right?), and dump Sullivan. It\'s a lot easier to find a big fat guy to fill the middle than it is to find a Darren Howard. Find an absolute stud at MLB (if they don\'t have one already), who can make up for occassionally having to undersized DTs in the game at the same time, and keep your stars. Dump your expensive fat boys (AKA sullivan).

WhoDat-

I don\'t think you\'ve ever met a struggling player you didn\'t want to dump. And they don\'t have to be struggling too much before your trigger finger starts to itch.

Keep dogging Sullivan and I\'ll have to take him under my wing like I did Brooks. No one on this board wants to see us battle it out over Sullivan like we did Brooks.

Go cool that trigger finger off. :P LMAO....

BC-

If you had to do it all over again, who would you select with the 6th overall pick- Sullivan or Trufant?

Right now, at this point in time, I would probably take Trufant. I think Trufant is a hell of a player who is only going to get better.

However, I think Sully has all the skills necessary to be a dominant DT. I am a little worried about his maturity level. He\'s only 15lbs overweight right now. That\'s not really bad. He should have come into camp in better shape. I think the coaching staff might be playing a little with his head trying to motivate him. As camp goes on, I suspect we\'ll start to hear how Sully is really starting to turn it on. Just a hunch.
