I'll leave it at this. There MUST be a reason Floyd dropped down to 23rd in the draft. He was predicted top 5 in most drafts.

I remember everyone thinking Sergio Kindle would be a top pick. He dropped to the second round and I even remember asking myself, why did the saints pass on this guy in the second round????

Floyd may end up being great. Just saying, he may not be as great as he originally looked.

If you run 3-4, you must have skilled players behind the down linemen, end of story. For a 3-4 defense, Vicarrio makes most sense. For a 4-3 defense, Floyd would have been the choice.

Like I said, people are nervous because so many things hinge on Ryan, the 3-4, and how he fits the pieces of our defense into a team.

There was an article I read that pretty much said that Floyd was made into a first rounder by the media.... If you remember Floyd was never mentioned until Star Lotuleilei came up with the heart condition issue before the combine.

Like it is every season. Watch half these kids drafted 1st round fall off the radar. Then, the players missed by the media are the future hall of famers - the 2nd, 4th and 6th rounders.

Pickup Honey Badger undrafted and I will start to get stoked!
