5 out of 7 defense? I'm OK with that, although I would be just as happy with another OL guy in there.

That could result in some interesting locker room talks between 2 former Penn State WRs.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

This mock was not my favorite at all. In fact I'd be kind of pissed off if this is how it plays out.

I like it.
But i would since I believe any edge rusher that everyone wants is a reach.

With Lynch and Robertson-Harris(by the way a guy Vic has song about) I think we have our starters already penciled in.

Floyd and Acho on the other side.

Put that together with our D-Line and I believe we might not even look Defense until the third day of the draft.

I don't know that RRH is playing OLB at 6'7 295lbs.

Maybe before he put 50lbs on last offseason.

Yeah, RRH and Bullard are going to be given every opportunity to start opposite Hicks at 5T. He's not an OLB anymore (that was the plan as a rookie before he was shut down for the season).

RRH has outplayed Bullard when given the chance, I don't expect that to change.

It's so odd to me that Bullard was called a steal. There was much applause from the internet and pundits alike for grabbing Bullard when they did.

He played better toward the end of last season than most give him credit for -- curious to see him this year.

I think it's because a lot of said pundits had mocked him to the Bears in the first. To get him in the 3rd, I suppose, is a steal by their standards.

He may not but no one thought Green Bay was gonna put Peppers at OLB either

He is/was but he isn't a 2 gapping 5T. If Larry Bird was asked to slash to the rim he wouldn't be who he was either.

You may lose that bet. I hasted Bird and the Celtics. (76ers fan) But there wasn't much Bird couldn't and he slashed to the rim way to many times to count against my team.

Great players can do almost everything. Thus they great. Good players are more one dimensional. That is not a knock just a fact.

Case in point how many people actually remember Reggie White used to be a DT in Philly? He was damn good at it that Green Bay made him the highest paid player on defense and then moved him to DE. So unless a guy has tried something new it hard to say wether or not he can do it or not.
