Martrell Spaight was the best Run stopping LB in the league last yr, with a 14.6% stop percentage.[/quote]

I think all of our LB's are pretty good in that area. It's in coverage where they're total clusterfucks. When our LB's are out in space they're useless. If we don't draft a DT then I hope those clowns in the front office draft Roquan Smith. He's a 3 down LB that doesn't need to come off the field. No offense to Foster, but he's a backup on most teams.

Is that stat based on making a tackle v missing a tackle?

The reason I ask is because the critique of the LB corps after Brown and Foster went out and/ or became injured was where the tackles were being made.

Brown is one of the fastest LB in the league and Foster is one of the smartest (not best, but smart). I think those two traits are synergistic. Between the two, I think the tackles were being made for much shorter gains than after they became out or limited.

Agreed.
I really don't get why Foster is so underrated here. When the DL was healthy, he and Brown where all around the field against the run, and he covers way better than Brown.
Not the best athleticism but as you say he is smart... and tough as a mofo ! ! He had a game winning INT minutes after dislocating his shoulder!

I would like to see Ridley. we need a wr in a bad way.

Re: Looking at the draft.
 

Guice
Smith
Vea

That's my top 3 choices for #13. Vea and Smith will probably be gone as they are both top prospects at their pos.

Right now it appears that arie kouandjio starts at LG, I hope that isn't the case come August

A good read! Chubb, Vea, Payne and now Hurst - I don't see how we will not get an opportunity to draft a good dline at #13 if we decide to stay pat and draft one. But of course, this strategy easily can be altered if and when we sign Hankins.

Being interested in dropping down to pick up a 2nd or 3rd. Anyone have ideas on which teams now might have the most desire to trade up, or is it too dependent on how the top 12 picks play out?

Cowpukes may be interested in trading up to jump Baltimore and get Ridley (WR from Alabama). Otherwise, I don't see anyone else interested in moving up.

There is about a 1% chance AK starts. The second round should have a very good guard, if not the 4th round could have a possible starter.

Doesn't he have a heart condition? I wouldn't risk it.

Edit: Nevermind, I see he's been medically cleared.

It's possible, if improbable, that either Wynn or Hernandez could last until our pick of the second round. Braden Smith and Wyatt Teller are a step below them, IMHO, but they are both nasty and relentless. There may be few decent OT and OC prospects who could be moved to OG. Frank Ragnow comes to mind. He may be undervalued right now due to a serious injury in 2017.
