This is the NT I want, I loved him in the Georgia-LSU game, seems like he can hold his own each and every play.

Ogletree's athleticism is off the charts and thats the main reason he is so high on the boards. nothing against his play i just think the hype has him higher than he should be.

god i hate this range in round 1

raw and upside are two words i have grown to fear over the years in round 1

And that's why Spagnulo and Flajole were jettisoned - not coaching up the draftees...

...there's nothing wrong with drafting talented athletic players who need development - you just gotta coach them up and get your return on investment back quick in this league or you're done...

...we've not done that except on the offensive side of the ball...

I think they were canned because of there lack of adjustments. Spags was to hard headed and was trying to force square pegs into round holes.

IMO, coaching up players falls on the shoulders of assistants. I know the DC has a part in it to but it is the assistants job to implament and teach the DC's plan.

I'm just curious to see who will run this defense and what personnel changes will be made. To be continued...

cap fire sale?

NT RUSH LB S, I hope we can trade down in a deep Defensive draft. Just how far and with who is the question. Trading into the 20s and picking up a 2nd rd pick would serve us well. Losing that #2 really Sucks. Thanks Commish.

Bengals are a posibility,. Ogletree, Sylvester Williams NT

Are teams likely to take ivory with a 4th.
I would have thought there is better value elsewhere.
