Yes, and I prefer Conklin over a two-down defensive lineman; plus if you read Conklin's scouting, history, he's an A+ player...

As posted before, can't see spending a first round pick, let alone a high first round, on a two-down defensive lineman...

When you invest that pick, you need to get maximum snaps, plays out of that player...

What concerns me about Billings, Rankins is their size...

At the pro-level almost every team now has big guards with long arms in blocking schemes to neutralize these bowling ball-types...

Most effective nose tackles, interior linemen in today's games are long, mammoth types...

I'd rather take a big (6'4"+, 285+ lbs) defensive end to bookend with Cam Jordan who can seal the edge, slide inside on long passing plays...

Billings and Rankins remind me of former Sedrick Ellis; he'll just get rolled up and pushed outta the way...
