Is the defensive line back?

I said they stepped up and stopped Barber, which very few teams have all season. I agree that we need to get more pressure from the front four, hence the comment to draft a great 2-way DE.

So would you say that the dallas D line did a great job too since C. Portis only got 36 yards? Nope. both teams forgot about the run and got into a shoot out through the air.

Yes, I would also say that the Dallas front 7 did a great job on Portis. His 3 yard average per carry had something to do with Saunders abandoning the run, plus Campbell was moving the ball through the air with greater efficiency. The key to beating Dallas is forcing Roy Williams to have to cover somebody. As soon as you allow Williams to play like another linebacker, you're playing into their hands.

Soupmeister - how about drafting Chris Long of Virginia?

Long would be a PERFECT fit. No pun intended, but he will be LONG gone by the time we're on the clock. The scary thing, New England might be in position to get Long since they own SF's 1st round pick.

You think so? Is he a top 15 pick?

Long will either be the first or second defensive lineman taken. He will either go ahead of or behind Glenn Dorsey.

Dorsey may be the #1 overall, and I could easily see both Dorsey and Long in the top 5 selected. This is a very strong draft for QBs (Brohm, Woodson, and Ryan) so that may affect the top of the draft depending on needs of the teams drafting at the top. Long looks like a great 3-4 DE, so New England is probably salivating.

Definately a top 5.

Kiper has Chris Long as the third best player in the draft.
