But also note they have Sheldon Rankins at the top of his position.

Just sayin' ...

Carson Wentz is 25 until December - Wentz was the league MVP until the LA Rams took a cheap shot on Wentz...

The Rams are going to be out biggest obstacle to winning the Lombardi...

In most fantasy drafts they are neck and neck. If I'm building a lineup though under 25 I would want Kamara. What is more disturbing is how Michael Thomas (23) missed the cut. Diggs and Hill are going a round or two behind MT in most drafts. Saints should have 5 players on that list but I will concede Barkley but MT, no way. Not even sure how they came to that conclusion.

I would take Kamara over Gurley or that other sucker any day of the week and most everyone would except for the dead beats at ESPN Extra Special Puto Network. I compromised on that one.

It was a legal hit. This is why you want QB's to run out of bounds or slide. When you drop a shoulder into a defensive back (see Andrew Luck), you are inviting the possibility of injury. There was nothing dirty about it.

Sheldon Rankins over Kenny Clark and DeForest Buckner?

Pretty much matches up with what I see on NFL Network and hear on NFL Radio. I've heard praise for Rankins from several ex-player analysts. If we had another edge rusher that could take advantage of the inside double teams that Rankins draws ... oh, wait! We just drafted one!

This defensive front could be monstrous if everything falls into place. The defensive backfield will give them time and, in turn, they will give the secondary greater opportunities for turnovers.

Can't wait!

19-0 Baby!

Rankins played on the same side as Cam Jordan until he was switched to DE at the end of the season when Okafor went down...

SDE Jordan

DT3 Rankins

NT Davidson

WDE Okafor/Hendrickson
