What's funny is this is not as big an if as you think..... What separated you from the top three defenses in the league last season is :

A. There players in most instances especially their Linebackers( Luke Kuekly..... Patrick Willis..... Navarro Bowman...... Earl Thomas...... Richard Sherman......Cam Chancellor etc...

B. The turnovers that they create by their pressure.

You hired your ball hawk, who has a career history of almost doubling the turnover production of your former safety Malcolm Jenkins.... You created one of the best safety groups in the league Byrd, Vaccaro, Bush, and Marcus Ball if he pans out.... Your returning a DLine with plenty of qb pressures, at least 28 sacks from 3 guys, not to mention adding Victor Butler to the mix....

Also Rob Ryan had many of the same issues you see in this kid with Nnamdi.... He's coming into a great support system with Ryan as his coordinator and Bailey, and Lewis to teach him the ropes....

You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house, and if have a glass jaw you should watch your mouth..... cause I'll break your face!!! -50 cent

agreed. the thing is to avoids that miss match all cost. It is the stop and go accelerate and the quick cuts that kill taller defenders.

that what makes cook so deadly. question will be what happens when a LB or CB times a fit perfectly? will he get up.

But of all the CB on the board you got one of the biggest upside gambles on the board. for now put him on big lumbering WR and TE. in a year or two who knows

If the CB or S is instinctive enough 40 times don't worry me...you need speed if you don't know what's going on...we like to press so he should be fine...

Decent pick. I 'Cooulda-Woulda-Shoulda" done the same....

We are getting players that can have an impact immediately. These picks are class acts. They may not be the best talent wise but big picture we are getting much value. We are getting things that can't be measured is how I see it. Combine does not rate what we are getting.

OT Laurent Duvernay-Tardif may be worth watching

Lets get de'anthony thomas to replace sproles.. I love our picks but we really need a speed back and hes perfect for us..

This is one of the main reasons you picked up Brandon Cooks. Although Thomas may still be in play I would love to see them take a chance on Andre Williams out of Boston College if he is still there in the late rounds.....

If we wanted a back like Sproles we'd have kept Sproles. A back like De'Anthony Thomas at 175 lbs makes ur offense predictable. When they're in ur either passing or running off tackle. These guys aren't gonna produce between the tackles. I think were just going in a different direction and ull see Pierre Thomas on passing downs and he's a very capable receiver and pass blocker.
