I'm not only mixing the Kool-Aid and sugar but drinking it out of a Hefty Mug!! Everything I read about "Rankinstein" says this kid is the real deal!! They say he's quiet, listen's to Coaches and is very business like in his approach. Exactly what we needed in our First Round Pick. Plus he's exactly what we needed. We needed a run stuffing DT who can also apply pressure, "Rankinstein" does that. We also wanted a versatile player who can play in multiple schemes, "Rankinstein" fits that mold. Lastly we needed a kid who would come in ready to work. "Rankinstein" says that he's working to understand the position fully. I've pushed all my chips to the center with our 1st Round Pick. I'm holding 4 ACES.

I like the eyeball test myself. Every now and then some pass.

I would honestly have Byrd no higher than 7th behind Laurinitis #4, Rankins #5, and Kikaha #6.

He's our 3rd best "if 100% healthy"

He was a 3 time pro-bowler and 2nd team All-Pro.

Yes, "if 100% healthy" he's easily in our top 3.

Obviously the "100% healthy" is the hard part.

I'm starting to think he was a Pro bowler because he was the simply the Only Good Player on a Bad Team. I mean, if he was hurt but making plays I would cut him some slack. But not only is he perpetually hurt but he hasn't made any plays. I want to pull for him but the way he's playing I just can't.

There defense was a hell of a lot better than ours is.
He's made plenty of plays when he's been in. He was the one guy who was almost always around the ball.

Slow down on Breaux. He looks promising but so do a lot of players their first year on a crappy defense. If it weren't for his backstory we probably wouldn't be as high on him as we are. He did well but also had some real boneheaded mistakes. I think he has potential to be one of our best but to say he is 3rd best is kind of a reach at this point.

At one point in the season he had only given up like 1 yard during a 3 game stretch. The kid is legit. We'll see him really shine this year.
