    Prediction: Derrick Henry will make Myles Jack and Jalen Ramsey his own personal b*tch's!

    Myles Jack is an OLB who is about as physical as a nickel back. He won't tackle DH.



    This will be the steal of the draft. They will be comparing DH to Eric Dickerson.

    Never said I was upset at Dodd and Austin picks, at all. But we need a good secondary not just hide how bad it is with our front 7. I never denied that having a pass rush is beneficial to our secondary.

    That's all besides the point, Henry is a HB we didn't need, should have been all defense in the second round.

    And yet we signed 3 db's, 2 corners in FA and drafted 2 corners, just later than the one guy you may have wanted. What we did HOPEFULLY was protect Marcus, provide a rushing game (something we just haven't had in about 4 years with Conklin, Henry and Tretola. We also upgraded the talent on our front 7 with Dodd and Johnson. Our depth was a problem at a few positions last year... interior o line, NT, OLB, CB, S, RT, RB... I'm pretty sure they addressed those areas in FA and the draft. Again it all goes back to the fact we didn't draft certain people. Nothing anyone can say will change the situation, nor can anyone know if the people they wanted actually fit what the team is trying to do.

    I'm still unsure as how you can say we didn't need a RB. I once again ask who, on our current roster before the draft would you be comfortable backing up an older back who may or may not regain his form? Sankey? Andrews? Cobb? McCluster? Not one of them stepped up, Andrews was the best we had and I for one love the fact that hopefully 3 of those guys will be moving on. I'm basing my opinion on performance at this level... scary ain't it?

    Many are still butt hurt we did not stay at 1 and use the pick on Ramsey. Wait until DH gets on the edge against the Jags and uses that stiff arm on him.

    I don't partake, although I don't judge those who do. Legal issues aside, I don't think it's any different than alcohol, and laws are changing all the time.

    Regarding the reading part, I have, and nowhere have I seen forum members state what you claim.
