    Bowers knee does concern me a little, but luckily for him, the season is months away.

    It would be a good value pick, I am a big believer in drafting the BPA BUT I personally would hate if he is there because the top two DTs are off the board. We really don't need another DE. WE HAVE ONLY ONE DT IN JASON JONES. Tony Browns knee has become a chronic problem. He is DONE. What good does it do us to get to the QB off the edge if he can easily just step up in the pocket

    Don't be scared off by Bower's knee. It's a much less serious injury than an ACL or MCL would have been. Don't confuse the severity of a torn ligament with problems with a minescus (sp?). Not even in the same ball park as far as recovery time or long term effect.

    I'd rather have something like

    Morgan Fairely Brown Jones

    Personally, but either would be spectacular.

    Since Quinn ran a sub 4.6 at his pro day at over 260 pounds (and looked like he ddn't have an ounce of fat either) I'm hoping he is the guy if we don't go QB.

    Okay I've gone from Bowers to Fairely. Bowers ran a 4.9 40! That's terrible. His knee must really be bugging him to run that bad.

    When Bowers was healthy he wasn't really that impressive as an NFL prospect, IMO. He made his living almost entirely on the bull-rush, and against pretty watered-down O-line talent in the ACC. I don't see him having a lot of success doing that in the NFL. He plays high and just doesn't have a lot of burst. Really the 4.8-4.9 speed didn't surprise me at all.

    I can't imagine there not being someone we'd rather have at that spot: Amukamara, Fairley, even Gabbert or Newton if we've graded them out that highly.
