Honestly I wanted Ragland with the pick, but mainly I wanted a front seven pick. We got ourselves a powerful NT who is only 20 years old. He still has room to grow. I like it

General manager Ted Thompson had a wealth of choices at his disposal after marquee inside linebackers (Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland) and defensive linemen (Jarran Reed, A'Shawn Robinson, Vernon Butler) were still available.

But Thompson, overseeing his 12th draft as GM, opted for Clark, a two-year starter for the Bruins who finished his career with 159 tackles (20 for loss) and 6.5 sacks.

"He's innately tough, strong and mature," a scout said.

Added another scout: "I think he can rush the passer. He is an outstanding defensive tackle."

Can't remember exactly whom it was, but I heard a couple of so-called experts on t.v. saying that "...One of the reasons Myles Jack had such a great college career was because he played behind Kenny Clark".

I won't lie. I wanted Jack. He can tackle, cover, and would have added a potential game changer to the defense. But with Raji "retired," I think DT was a legitimate need. He looks like he can play right away. He is also only 20 so I suspect he will continue to grow. The last DT with a wrestling background we took seemed to turn out okay (Mike Daniels).

I wonder what the second round will bring. If Jack or Ragland continue to slip, maybe we could move up and snag one of them. I'm not sure Ragland can play on third down so I prefer Jack.
