I agree you don't take him.. word is that he is a "ONE contract guy".. You don't pay 2nd round money for a guy who will be unable to play in 3-4 years.. You need a guy who can give you 7- 8 years..especially when you know this right out of the gate.. I can see him sliding into the 3rd or even 4th round. I pray someone takes him before our pick so there is no temptation to take that chance.

So, then what is our scheme. This guy is really a 'natural' NT, right? Are we playing a 4-3 or a 3-4, or some sort of hybrid that requires a guy who can be a NT AND DT?

Sorry if I'm skeptical, but still having visions of Veikune...

I like his size and how he competes for the ball, but I don't know enough about his tackling ability. He can go up and get the ball, but if he isn't "proven" than maybe he is more 4th round than 2nd.

I wanted a Safety this draft. Maybe we stlll can grab one to develop, but I don't see it now for 2011's schedule.
