This is one of those thing that you just kinda are like....u know almost pointless but regardless .... next yr if we end up w/ an early enough draft pick...and he declares..and we dont pick up a stud DE in the offseason...THAN....WE SIMPLY HAVE TO DRAFT..... Calais Campbell, DE, outa miami.... best DE in the country.
back your bags, this one is moving to the draft forum. :ha: I really would like a 1st round DE. I wanted the db 1st pick this year. I got my wish with Griffin. DE is a big area of need, or so I hear. We'll see though. Currently we have: Vanden Bosch, LaBoy, Odom, Conover, Savage, Ford, McElveen, and the Tony Brown who is listed at DT and DE. What do we even know about Conover? moving on... I was looking at Josh Savage and the only thing that stood out is every time he is activated from the practice squad to dress for Tennessee the Titans lose. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue. Originally signed as a UDFA by Tampa Bay he was waived and claimed off waivers by the Falcons. I suppose Tennessee took notice of him in preseason action with Atlanta (??? - speculative on my part)... anyways... he's been on our practice squad... I don't expect a whole lot from him seeing he was released by two other teams, but you never know. I used to be very high on Odom. I hope he returns to form. I'm still waiting for LaBoy to make some noise... I am ready to spend that #1 pick at DE though... but I still want to watch our talent develop. By years end a new need may emerge and DE may look more solid.
Yeah a top DE or DT would be ideal. Some guys to note: DE's Calais Campbell 6'6 260 Miami or 6'8 285 depending where you look Derek Harvey 6'4 260 Florida Lawrence Jackson 6'5 265 USC Vernon Gholston 6'4 260 Ohio St. DT's Glen Dorsey 6'2 285 LSU Frank Okam 6'5 315 Texas DeMario Pressley NC State , not sure on size.
