Salave'a has not been healthy this season and has not been the immovable object he was in '04 or '05. Golston has some nice quick little moves in pass rushing situations, but he's undersized and gets plowed on running plays.

Put in a big ass DT, and all of a sudden you'll be praising Lemar Marshall again next year. He'll flow to the ball more freely.

What about drafting DT Alan Branch (6'6", 331 lbs) from Michigan?

Branch wouldn't be bad at all.

I'd be IN LOVE with that pick.

John Henderson prototype.

Do we have a shot at getting this guy?

SmootSmack · 12-13-2006, 01:46 PM

I think we have a great shot at Branch (unfortunately) but I think it might be just as good, if not better, to trade down and get a DT (like I said before Okam or Tyler, I doubt Pitcock would be available) and a CB

celts32 · 12-13-2006, 02:35 PM

I went DE...CB looked like the biggest problem early on but since Springs has been healthy it has not been as big a problem as our run defense...

The Zimmermans · 12-13-2006, 02:42 PM

Yeah, a DT would be crucial. A big meaty immovable dude would do wonders for our linebacking core on run stopping

Is Okam or Tyler similar in run stopping / physical presence as Branch? - If so it may be better to trade down. One thing about top 10 picks is they do cost a lot and if you miss on them your cap gets hit hard.

Maybe it's because work has been stressing me out, but that was one of the funniest sentences I've read in a long time.

You're right though. Look what Ngata (?) did for baltimore's D.

The Zimmermans · 12-13-2006, 03:04 PM

Yeah, I was trying to make it sound kinda gay for laughs

Branch is 6'6", 330 lbs. (I think) and Okam is 6'5", 320 lbs. Tyler is much smaller 6'2", 305 lbs.

The Zimmermans · 12-13-2006, 03:10 PM

yeah, I think we should go for Okam due to his size if he's available after branch. He might compliment the smaller and quicker golston, who will have the runnstopping bigger body of wynn on his side to help him fill the gaps, while carter can take the outside more often while Okam would fill up that right side middle.

I don't know if I should laugh or barf.

LOL

There's a LB shuffle that could happen. Sorta a waste of MW in the middle though isn't it?

I dunno, MLB could be where he could have the most impact. Teams aren't running at MW, if he's in the middle they can't completely avoid him.
