I am wondering if Ted will gamble and let the guys test the market. They are saying that there are a bunch of guys on the DL available this year. I have to admit that the DL was pretty good and seemed to develop a good chemistry. I would certainly like to keep the guys on a 2 year deal and draft a guy in the later rounds for competition and depth.

I have to admit I am intrigued if Su'a could be our answer at ILB. The kid is flat out fast. Seems like we like guys who can play many positions. Well this kid appears to be able to do that. Not sure if he is big enough to play ILB in the NFL, but like I said I am intrigued.

Not sure how this guy would work in our scheme but we all know that ain't going to be a validation for not drafting him or anyone else.

Hunter Henry was brought up in this thread and I brought him up in another...that is a Ted Thompson pick. White offensive skill player. Not sure he's going to be able to resist if he's there at 27. I'd be more than fine with that at least giving the position some love but I have a feeling Ted Thompson probably feels our PS TE can be just as good. Shoot, they both have Henry for the last name. We'll be stuck with Mitchell, I fear, and not Hunter when the draft dust settles.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'll throw out another name: Shilique Calhoun. Peppers is a physical freak, but he can't play forever. Calhoun could learn under Peppers/Matthews, continue to develop physically, and be a starter by 2017.

Do what it takes to get one of the OTs. Improve protection and run blocking and the team as is would be hard to stop.

I don't see any of the ILBers being a huge improvement for the team. We have guys who can play the run. When we were up against the better TEs we were not covering them with LBers we were using Safties because they have about the same height as LBers and have better speed and quickness and I expect that to be something that continues so if we want to improve the middle, look for 6'3" safeties that are about 225lbs.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Hey Shades that wasn't a bad video but we all know Ted Thompson won't draft a WR in the 1st round lol, passed on Crabtree and also passed on Dez to take on the whale. Also in the video it seems like he can run a slant route and a fly pattern and not much across the middle.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
