I was more impressed with JPP than Vernon. The games I watched, JPP got double teamed and Vernon was always left one on one.

JPP has rare combination of speed and power...

Calais is a strong man however he isn't the penetrator that Nick is and you would have to go back to projecting how he "fits" AND he is an older player. But I do like that fact that Campbell was an extremely physical, disruptive player.

No, he's more of a Car Crusher Defensive End - and that can work too...

Rankins and Onyemata can penetrate from the interior with the ends closing the trap...

It would work with Campbell, you could even move Cam back to the weakside...

I'm liking the thought of drafting Cunningham at OLB, he has the tools to cover rb.'s and TE's and really had little to no help getting to his draft status. I think Nolan could do this kid justice.

Hightower, Zach Brown, Ingram ... my FA wish list at the LB position.

Solid player and good for Mario. 29 years and coming off a 9.5 sack season + factor in he has had at least 5 + sacks the last three seasons. Pretty good work. This signing will definitely impact Fairley's asking price.

I don't think he will see anything close to 10M in the open market.

I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if a team like Cleveland hands him a blank check with them switching to the 4-3 and not having a 3-technique. Look at this D-Line they would have: Myles Garrett-Danny Shelton-Nick Fairley-Emmanuel Ogbah. That could be one of the best D-Lines in the league.

If an Alabama boy goes to a one-win Cleveland team and justifies that for say, an extra million a year,
then he's not the guy we want anyway.
