“[W]e’ve talked a little bit about the flexibility that Michael Brockers does give you to play nose and five,” Snead said. “Then it gets into, do we add anybody else during free agency or the draft? And what his flexibility allows you to do is to pick the best player and not necessarily, ‘We’ve got to have a nose tackle,’ because, hey, maybe the best five technique will move down. So it does give you some flexibility and that’s what we are going to do there.”

that settles it.

it’s either lawrence or tillery with the first pick.

Ebukam could even play ILB. imo

not a bad idea.

Good luck, Roger.

yes. i wish him well. wish he coulda stayed.

i am excited about noteboom, however. he should be fine. but i am worried about center. don’t know if allen is ready or not.

one other thought on weddle. he’ll be good for goff. not only competing against him, but goff can pick his brain on all things coverage related. understand what secondaries are thinking and trying to do to him. maybe even work on weaknesses that weddle sees in his game.

that could be a heckuvan offense.

see now i woulda rather spent the money on barr. he signed for about 5 years at less than 16 per?

i woulda offered him that. then put him at edge rusher, and i think he blossoms.

on a more serious note. that video of him punching a woman in the streets does trouble me.

I was disappointed in Suh.

i woulda rather kept suh for one more year than fowler.

but it all depends on the draft. maybe they figure they can get a blue chip dl prospect in the first round and then an edge rusher later. then you got a bunch of edge rushers you can rotate and a dlineman you can plug in right away with donald and brockers.

basically i’m guessing they think their chances of getting a top notch dlineman with the first pick is much higher than getting a top notch edge rusher with the same pick.

I do kind of lean toward Dline.

yeah i’m pretty much focusing in on dline. whoever that is.

i haven’t read as much on simmons.

i’m nervous about the knee. and i don’t really know anything about his athleticism and length. i just know he’s projected as a first round pick by most.

i still think brockers has value on this team.

i don’t like this fowler signing though. not even at one year. either they didn’t like anyone in free agency or there wasn’t enough interest on the other end. or the numbers were too high for their liking. maybe they see something in fowler, but i wasn’t impressed with what i saw on the field.

He’s also a strong locker room leader and can help younger players like John Johnson III and Marcus Peters in the secondary.

yeah, like i said. especially with jj. what kind of an impact can playing with a guy like weddle have on a young promising player?

he was ranked 7th by pff in 2018. i believe he was 8th in 2017. i’m not sure.

now playing alongside a veteran with his wealth of knowledge and experience. could he vault into the top 5? maybe even higher? that’s what has me really excited. still doesn’t turn 24 until this december.

Am still hoping for Dexter Lawrence in the Draft, or Brian Burns. Neither, however, is likely to be there at 31.

they are at the top of my list as well.

another guy would be tillery. move brockers back to nose tackle and plug tillery in at de.

and there’s plenty of edge rushers. someone will fall.

i also want 2 new edge rushers. ideally one vet fa signing and a rookie. and then you have ebukam and okoronkwo competing as well for playing time.

jerry tillery. shoot. if he could be a chris jones caliber player, i’ll take that.

i’d like to see them sign anthony barr and then draft best dlineman available at 31.

drool.

draft another pass rusher in the later rounds. and a defensive back.

yeah. i think burns unfortunately will be long gone.

lawrence has a chance of dropping due to the positive test result.
