I will say 1 player I was originally against just because I don't really like the type is Louis Nix but I started watching some of his games and he started to grow on me. He's your typical 2 gap nose tackle type but he stood out to me because it seemed like he was spending a lot of his plays in the opponents back field. He's not going to be the guy who brings down the QB but he'll sure make it hard for him to step up. Just a thought of someone they might go with since I'd rather not re-sign Raji even if he has a good year (don't trust him to perform after a payday).

One thing I do like about him vs Raji is he acutally has some good pass rush moves where if Raji doesn't win with his initial burst off the snap he just stands there hand fighting.

I am a fan of of taking an ILB. It fills a need at ILB and it improves the DL.

At ILB I don't see that happening. Mosely MAYBE. Shazier may prove he can be that good but moving a guy inside is risky. I guess when I look at the top LB groups in the league I don't see anybody in this draft that has that kind of talent to say we are catching up with them.

Getting BETTER maybe but not approaching the talent level of the 49'rs or Seattle.

Just because of this thread I went back to film of Mosley and Shazier.

After careful analysis I hope Darqueze Dennard falls to #21 [grin1]

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ha. Well, it'd be nice for folks to reset their own password. Via validated email 😏

beast (29-Mar) : Monopoly was supposed to be an educational game, that show how evil capitalism was and how we should avoid it
