What have we needed for years? An athletic, speedy linebacker who can cover.

Anthony IS that player. More so than Perryman.

And I'd rather use a high pick on a guy who's responsible for doing more than being a "space eater"....

C'mon fellas, there are a dozen 300+lb guys we can grab in later rounds. There aren't other Stephone Anthonys.

okay we'll see. only time will tell if my ranting is asinine or not. remember last season i saw things that everyone in the end start calling me a know-it-all. you cant overlook the turnovers we had on offense, the countless 3 and outs, the constant lack in protection. as i said before our defense had its problems but our offense were just as big of a problem. for whatever reason everyone wants to give drew a pass because numbers look good. between the 20 and 20 yeah, but what about scoring? what about creating drives, keeping our quote on quote sorry defense off the field? all im gonna say is screen shot my post so one can say i dontknow what im talking about just because i said it before hand.

I think the key thing he brings to the table is that he is a LEADER!!!

You never know what is going to become of draft picks, that's just the way it is, but from what I have seen of him I am optimistic he could be a really good one

No sense clogging up a good thread responding to this nonsense.

There are several posters I respect that probably would have been fine if we went defense with nearly every one of our picks.

Personally I think an OG and a WR or TE are still in the plans before this draft is over.

It's a copycat league, Dallas made an O line and went to the divisional game carried by the best rushing game in the league

With the O line we are building Drew should get at least 2 more seconds and the run blocking should be noticeably better.

Still, I have a feeling SP will start addressing some of the offensive skill positions sooner rather than later.
