I know what position he plays, I've probably watched him over a dozen and half games, watch a lot of Bama. They play a lot of man free and sometimes he's the rat, sometimes he's single high, safeties interchangeable in Saban's system.

We have a fine safety in Byrd, no reason to go after one so high when we have so many other holes. Barron may be B.Meriweather, or Laron Landry, why is he immediately Polamalu/Sanders/Reed? Prudent use of resources it is not, if we didn't have Byrd then I would be against it wholesale. For this FO to be targeting him so high means they aren't planning on bringing back Byrd, only way this move makes sense. Is exactly what this organization has shown for more than a decade. Passing up quality DL for defensive backs and running backs.

3m for a rookie safety and Byrd is going to command double that, 9m per year to two safeties. Then you have to resign Urbik and Levitre, Levitre will cost around 7m, and you still have Fred Jackson. Don't need 9m tied up in safeties. Did the Giants win the Superbowl because of their safeties? Don't need a safety, if this happens it'll just further the belief that the FO is generally clueless. Love how some of you are trying to convince yourselves that this is a good move, have to love cognitive dissonance.

Byrd's a FA after '12, if they're targeting a safety with a first round pick Byrd may not be back here because you can't tie up all that money in the S position. You look around the league, and you teams normally have one good safety who makes the primo bucks and then a complementary S that doesn't make as much. Perfect example is Polamalu and Clark.

Nawrocki had Maybin as the number one DE the year he came out. He also trashed Newton last season, attacked him personally. Feel the guy is scum and should be ignored.

If you're serious and not taking the piss, you're a certified fool. Fleener will be a great pro, doubt he gets past the Niners.

Love him, I think we all do. If he's there in the 2nd you pull the trigger, 1st round talent. Doubt he makes it to us, what a player, can't say enough about him.

There are no good LTs in free agency, so we're going to have to draft one.

If he can find a way to stay healthy he'll be a good player. But much like Roscoe, this guy's made of glass.

Sources deep inside my rectum...

No, but he might drop to us if we sit tight. Jags are a wildcard though, need receivers, a DE, CB, they have holes.

I don't why but the last sentence really gave me a chuckle.

Yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood today.

When you have a billionaire owner, you can make these kinds of deals. Pay up front and just cut bait when it doesn't work out.

18m guaranteed, lol. Way too much money for Lynch, bidding against themselves. Which other team was going to give Lynch that kind of money? HAHAHA

LOL at making tackles five yards down field. You haven't watched him. Guy knifes through traffic. Watch the tape.

No I'm sure if the top DE on their board is there they'll draft him, which means he is interested in the top DE's, whatever that means. But there may only be one guy they like, so the real news is that they don't have many first round grades on these top DEs. It's largely semantics, but it's important to not throw out the possibility of a DE. Maybe they feel Coples stinks, and that Ingram is the top guy, or Upshaw.

That's not what he said. Chris Brown asked Nix his thoughts on the draft not having much depth at the DE position. Buddy disagreed, felt this draft was deep at DE, but not at the top of the draft. Nix feels that depth at DE exists in the middle rounds, starting in the 2nd, not much depth at the top, not many in the top 10. Didn't say he wasn't interested. Edit: Brockers is a pipe dream, they won't be taking another DT. He can't play end in a 4-3, Chan has stressed getting a 4-3 DE not a tweener. Mock an offensive tackle, CB, or WR because those will the targets.

How about a WR? How about Kendall Wright? How about a LT? I love DeCastro, but Levitre's a great guard and Urbik had good year. Both need to be resigned by next year, so it wouldn't shock me if they did take a G to add depth, but taking one so early when we have holes at WR, CB, DE, LB and T would be akin to taking Trent Richardson if he fell to us.

Read The Education of a Coach, tons of info about him. Only did the interviews/book because he could ask Halberstam about Vietnam. So Ernie would answer a question about football, and Halberstam would give answers into Ernie's Vietnam inquiries. Edit: Here's another article about him.

My thoughts is that I want the top 4 guys from last year on this team, but you can't have everything, lol. They'll add a WR this year, DT draft isnt that good this year but the WR is much deeper this year.

I agree with the posters that stated he's a good player but not an impact player. Still he has a great motor, has produced, and can be a solid contributor. However, like JM mentioned, if he's the only pass rusher we add he won't make a lick of difference. They'll key on him and shut him down. He would be a good complimentary player/pass rusher, but won't be an Aldon Smith. Definitely is a safe pick, as was Dareus.

Hahahahahaha

LSU DL is amazing. Not sure how we're strong on the DL when we were one of the worst teams in football against the run. Yeah, we didn't have Kyle, but we also didn't have depth. No one behind to step up. A trio of Brockers, Dareus, Williams would be killer. Won't get past the Panthers though.

If you click on his name you can read a short bio. Worked for the Bills, Giants for 16 years under Young/Accorsi, and was director of college scouting for the Chicago Bears for 9 years. He was the one who found guys like Briggs and Forte.
