Well, EVERYBODY from Oklahoma 'vanished' against USC the other night. But yes, I've heard David Pollack is as close as it gets to a sure thing.
Mel Kiper was saying on ESPN Radio the other day that defensive linemen are the hardest to figure in the draft. Some dominate in college and then get thrown around like ragdolls in the NFL -- Jamal Reynolds
(who??) , Gerard Warren, Dewayne Robertson are recent examples. Others, very few of them mind you -- Richard Seymour, John Henderson, Jevon Kearse are everything scouts hoped they would be.
My tendency this year would be to draft offense anyway, but a part of me still feels that a pocket-collapsing, quarterback-nemesis on the D-line would be the icing on the cake for our defense.
