Re: Nose tackle
We could use a nose tackle for depth... that's a given. But this isn't a pressing issue some are making it out to be. On 3rd and long, move Hicks inside and rotate Will Smith in. Problem solved. If Hicks isn't starting, he can back up both NT and DE. The only 3 down DL will be Jordan. For the most part, the rotation is already there.
So we have to draft a NT in the mid rounds or go sign a middling NT for depth. It's not that serious... we'll get it done before camp. |

But first round picks should be starting and having an impact in their first season... |

Re: Nose tackle
So do you think that if you're a 1st round pick at any position other than QB, and you don't start or have an impact in your 1st year, you're a bust?

Re: Nose tackle
I read somewhere that after taxes, the difference in money between a lower round first round pick compared to a lower round pick isn't that significant. Hence so many under developed players leaving early.
All players have different development rates. I don't agree with the notion that a player is a bust if he doesn't make a significant impact right away. I think it's short sighted to look at it that way. But anyhow, just wanted to throw in my two cents. It's something we've discussed plenty of times of the years(been down this road many times with jp). If one already feels that way, there's really no point in trying to change their mind. It hasn't and still ain't happenin'. |
