OLB with the 8th pick?

That's what I'm arguing with. He is not even a ((NEAR))) hall of famer.

he was a good player, and a great Titan, but a speck in the grand scheme of the NFL. Players on the level of Bulluck league-wide are not incredibly rare.

 

I'm not sure why everyone is saying we don't need a true DE. Where does that come from? First of all Babin is a FA and might not be back. Secondly if a real good pass rushing DE is the BPA you take him without hesitation at #8. I'm talking about Bowers or Quinn, guys who can be true stud DEs who play opposite Morgan. You don't dink around with marginal OLBs if a guy like that is there at #8.

 

Speck in the grand scheme of things? Since 2002 until 2009 KB was one of the best 4-3 OLBs in the NFL period. Just because he got snuffed out of pro-bowls by guys with sack numbers doesn't do KB justice. KB got paid big bucks by the Titans for a reason.

 

okay so your saying that ford or ball cant do the job? i was impressed with our rotation this year at d end just had a bad year all around.....we need more offense than defense....there is much more talent through free agency for defense than there is for offense and thats why you draft an impact player for offense that can make a difference now and address defense in the later rounds and through free agency....just my opinion again though....if we get someone like greenway or harris in FA or even nnamdi would be great...but being in all honesty i think we wont sign anyone then our draft will make no sense to me and i will still be questioning who is running our organization lol

 

What are your talking about? We had the 4th worst pass defense and we gave up the 13th most rushing yards in the NFL. Our entire linebacking core consists of people who can't cover to save their lives. Our defensive tackles consist of a consistently injured Tony Brown and a defensive end who is out of position. Our defensive ends can't stop the run to save their lives. (No Ford and Ball can't do the job). I saved the best for last though as our secondary may have been the worst secondary in the entire league during the second half of the season.

The number 8 pick in the draft in to be one of three things: our QB of the future, a big pocket collapsing defensive tackle, or Prince Amukamara. Anything else and we will have a top 5 pick next season. I am tired of having the island of misfit toys on the defensive side of the ball; I want nothing more then our defense to return to top 10 form.

 

After watching the senior bowl I wouldn't mind Von Miller at 8 and Ponder at 40.

 

Yeah my opinion of Miller at 8 has changed and I wouldn't mind taking him.
