Excellent prospect however most analyst/scouts don't see Solomon getting past the Niners at pick #2.

There's always a first time?

4.56 to a 4.33. Possible but improbable. I also question LF's Jenny Craig commercial. Both possible but likely some elevated fish size going off of historical PD with Combine.

That's exactly what they were saying on NFL Radio today. Never believe pro day times.

While we need an edge rusher desperately, you take the BPA on the defensive side of the ball at 11. This draft is deep with pass rush. Adams, Lattimore, Hooker, or Solomon Thomas if he falls are easy picks if they are there at 11. Barnett and Taco are easily more of a reach.

they are actually predicting him as a top 5 as well.

Never reach for a need.

There may be numerous options at 32 to address DE.

Pick a bonafied stud at 11, not some 2nd rounder just because we have a need.

I'd rather an A-player at 11 than a B-player.

I agree. My priority would be pass rusher, of course, but ONLY if there is a player of a high enough caliber to be taken in that spot. There are certain positions we just don't need to take at 11, but as long as it's defense, in general, if you've got a potential star in your lap, you have to take him.

Sounds like they were as surprised as we were that SP and the staff made the short trip to the talent pool we've been ignoring for years.
