    He must be really impressing if they bring this up this early. Great news.

    Only thing I can think of is that they think Blackson was miscast in the Auburn defense and will perform better in a 3-4. Still though, a young OLB was a bigger need at that point and we did not address that position until the sixth and with a guy who is a major project. Cannot help but think that OLB would have been a better pick with that pick instead of Blackson.

    I know everyone wants to ***** about picks but let's just let things play out. Maybe blackson will suck and you can all say told you so but let's not right the kid off before he gets a chance to play. What's done is done. Hope for the best and stop judging players before they take an NFL regular season snap.

    No doubt X...I am going to rally behind these guys, and I hope he is a hidden gem. I just felt that they had many bigger needs, but time will tell.

    Just out of curiosity, who would you have picked instead? DE Flowers? What OLB?

    Flowers would be the obvious choice though I liked that guy from Kentucky who was available.

    That's true, but I really like the idea of rotating and keeping bodies fresh.

    I do too, but we can do that without as many people. Remember, about 65-70% of plays they only have two DL:
    • Jones and Casey will get the most plays
    • Hill gets next most as "starting" NT
    • Klug will get a good amount of plays in obvious passing situations
    • Woods will rotate in some
    • Pitoitua will play some when there is a good match up for him
    • Blackson is a healthy scratch a lot
    • Martin is cut
    Of course this all depends on there being not a lot in terms of major injury
