Patrick Willis is a freak

yeah, as I remember LB was a need; just not as high as a priority
and regardless of the need, Keith was high on the WANT list and we knew about it for weeks

Fowler wa NOT signed to be the savior inside - as he won't be
it'd be great to see ST plug it, but would you compare him to Willis ?



furthermore,
I'm sick of this drafting for "need"
let's get the best player available in crucial rounds
and fill in some developmental depth on Day 2

 

With that speed, I'd bet he would stay in at a lot of nickel situations.

Especially if he has some range. (Which I think he does)

I would love to have him.

Truth is there are some real studs in this year's draft.

Unless we screw it up, we get us a stud.

 

What if BPA is a QB or LT for example?

 

this year's draft, a QB or a LT will not be BPA @ 19

Landry would be (but he won't be)
Carriker (or the 2 above him) would be
Leon Hall would be
Adrian Peterson would be
and Willis would be
one 'could' go Meacham here, but I won't
if all of these guys are gone, I might go Chris Houston or possibly Reggie Nelson

in other words. I wouldn't reach for Charles Johnson - just because

 

If he is there, we may take him... if he is the best available. The not being on the field half the time argument is okay... but with his sub 4.4 speed and bullock's speed out there we wouldn't play nickel as much as we did last year with sirmon there. Plus with our improved secondary (yes its improved... I think... <save pac>), the nickel package may not be needed as much.

 

Good lord how could you even think we wouldn't take him if he made it to 19! The guy's a tackling machine with wings on his shoes! Fowler and Tulloch are by no means guaranteed the starting spot. Fowler was clearly brought in as depth and as a ST standout. Tulloch was a fourth round pick, not a first, not a second. Willis is exactly the type of defensive impact player the "Plan" calls for. It says it right there in paragraph three!

 

We're at a position right now where we don't really have any glaring needs that would necessitate a first round pick (some might argue otherwise, but I think we've got at least serviceable starters at almost every position) but almost every position could use some great improvement, because of that we need to go with the best player available approach.

 

I'd take the guy if one of the better DEs wasn't there. If anything his workout could assure he goes before #19 which would drop someone to us.

I would take the guy even if he didn't stay on the field all the time but I would also assume with him, Thornton and Bulluck we could play more straight defense.

 

if we had a 3-4 package Jarvis Moss could be a good pick
he seems like an Adalius Thomas kinda guy

 

I saw that early todayand my jaw dropped.........i knew he was amazing and productive with good speed but not 4.3 speed thats crazy. I said months ago this guy is gonna be a pro bowler and he will be a stud. IDC about tulloch or Fowler if he is ther which is nowvery doubtful we grab him no questions asked. If you could take a good MLB or a STUD MLB that will anchor your D your gonna take the stud so theres no reaon we pass on him because of stephen tulloch.
