Warriorspikes51 Posted March 28 Author Posted March 28 Oliver DaQuan A. Johnson D. Williams Eli Ankou Maybe...hopefully....better than last year's group? Both of these new additions produced many more tackles in run defense than Phillips, Settle, Ford Could we still take a DT in Round 1 or 2? Yes, but it would seem less likely now 1 1 Quote
I'm Spartacus Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Williams is only 295 lbs. Would have preferred a DT at least 310+ lbs. 1 3 1 1 Quote

Yes, but it would seem less likely now I would agree less likely unless someone unexpected drops to them. Maybe Sweat at 60 would be good value? I do expect another guy drafted at some point though. Day 3 type. Edited March 28 by BuffaloBillyG Quote

Jordan Phillips was over 330lbs and got pushed in the run game a lot. If he's 295lbs and can still absorb the blocks so be it. 5 Quote

Yes, but it would seem less likely now It would be nice if some of them were younger and on longer deals. I don't think this takes DT off the draft board for us, but could let us kick the can down the road to next year. 7 Quote

Logic Posted March 28 Posted March 28 5 minutes ago, I'm Spartacus said: Williams is only 295 lbs. Would have preferred a DT at least 310+ lbs. That's what DaQuan Jones and Austin Johnson are. 1TDTs. Big bodies. Run stoppers and gap pluggers. Williams is a 3TDT. Pass rusher. Gap shooter. 295 is fine for that. 8 2 2 Quote

I may not *love* all of our starters, but seemingly everyone is at bridge-starter level. I might prefer a WR or DB, but if a game wrecker falls and they're a D-line or O-line piece, I can live with that. 1 1 Quote

An immediate starter at WR2 with size/speed or both is likely to have the most impact on the team IMO Of course, this staff would need to actually play the draft pick. Slow playing Cook, Kincaid and Shakir was annoying. If we take WR at 28 or higher, PLAY THEM IMMEDIATELY AND OFTEN! Edited March 28 by Warriorspikes51 1 3 1 Quote

But if there is a run on WR and there is just no one they like and there is a guy who should have been top 15, I'll take that and pick WR in the 2nd round. 3 3 Quote

Well, they started Torrence from the first day of camp, so let's hope they are able to go that route with the WR they draft 3 Quote

transient Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I'm confused... so, does this mean they're trading Diggs or not?!?! Quote

Yes, but it would seem less likely now Considering that the two backups only signed one year deals I don't see how limits us drafting a quality DT in the early part of the draft since need to find a long term answer to replace DaQuan who likely on his last contract for the next two seasons. 2 Quote
