Spike, the only salve I can find in all this right now is that it didn't cost us more than one pick...

Well, it's Hurricanes tonight, Boys!!!

Rankins' size seems like somewhat of a weakness, but on the other hand, he can get leverage under guards and centers.

Ireland isn't the GM here and didn't scout in Miami.

Browns about to take Paxton Lynch. That's my bet.

I bet we trade up into the late first for a pass rusher

sorry Tunsil drops into your lap and pass for a 3 tech DT? which we have plenty of. needs trumps BPA I have 6 or 7 players ranked higher. desperation media hyped pick in my book.

Oh well lets see what happens. we still need a 3 down NT that is not scheme dependent to make this pick work. Never mind we are scheme dependent with this pick. Those are few and far in between in this draft.

I am back to oh well here we go again. sit back and see what happens.

If we do it better be a NT to even have a chance of making this pick work. right now he will get double teamed right out of the dome.

Ireland was responsible for last years draft which was our best since 06, but please continue to talk out of your ass. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Rankins is the safe pick, not the sexy one. However, he could be outstanding at the DT position as he as the perfect size for it. The biggest issue for DTs is standing too tall, if you have played ball before you'll remember the saying low man always wins. Ranking being 6'1 gives him an edge at being the low man without having to work for it.

For those that wanted Treadwell... lol, let's just draft all offensive players and let the UDFAs run the D.
