Re: Top draft prospects - Defensive Tackle

AA didn't look to good on day 1 at DE. Then they moved him to DT and told him to quit using his hands as much. The light went on and he took off like a bat out of hell becoming unblockable inside. He may not be as long as as some of the others. But then again no one is as fast, quick, agile and only...

I LOVE THIS SIGNING. The way, we use the 4-3 the off-linebacker is just as important as the pass-rushing DT. At least statistically it is proven.

One with Hester. At the time he ran at the combine, Indy was known to be a slow track for the 40. Two I wish they would give us top MPH instead that would be a better indictment of how fast guys are. Or better yet line them all up at each position and say go. Running against guys you will see the co...

I dont think Leatherwood is in the plans. I may be wrong. But, I would have thought he would have played more last season if he was. I also believe Whitehair is more of a luxury than the plan at this point. We know he can play and we do not know who we get in the draft yet. Plans for him may change...

Elite CBs are harder to find than DL. Even after FA Sutton signing, they need another CB desperately. Okuduh is bad.

I was wavering a bit until the Senior Bowl week. After that, I believe he cemented himself in the top 40 players. All these so called experts saying he is moving up after combine weren't paying attention to the Senior Bowl obviously.

Re: 3-4 alignment?

Oh yeah
Gonzales is 6'1" 197lbs
Porter Jr is 6'2" 193lbs
Ringo is 6'1" 207LBS

Porter is the only one not to have run a sub 4.4 forty. But 4.46 is more than respectable.

Any of the 4 would be the fastest DB on our team :)
