I'm willing to bet that Dan Williams doesn't exactly remember when the last time he weighed 305 lbs.

Yeah, while I'm at it I thought I'd put together my list of Free Agents by priority. Guys at the top of the list would make more money or at least I would offer them more money. I get DeMeco locked up first before going out on the market. When it comes to O.D. I compare him to Ben Watson and Tony Scheffler and try to find the best bargain.

1 DeMeco Ryans, Houston Texans (26)
2 Richard Seymour, Oakland Raiders (30)
3 Derrick Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs (27)
4 Nick Collins, Green Bay Packers (27)
5 Antoine Bethea, Indianapolis Colts (26)
6 Logan Mankins, New England Patriots (28)
7 Barry Cofield, New York Giants (26)
8 Cadillac Williams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (28)
9 Ben Watson, New England Patriots (29)
10 Daryn Colledge, Green Bay Packers (28)
11 Mark Clayton, Baltimore Ravens (28)
12 Owen Daniels, Houston Texans (27)
13 Tony Scheffler, Denver Broncos (27)
14 David Baas, San Francisco 49ers (28)
15 Mark Anderson, Chicago Bears (27)
16 Richard Marshall, Carolina Panthers (25)
17 Carlos Rogers, Washington Redskins (29)
18 Chester Pitts, Houston Texans (31)
19 Darryl Tapp, Seattle Seahawks (25)
20 Jerious Norwood, Atlanta Falcons (27)
21 Jerome Harrison, Cleveland Browns (27)
22 Jason Avant, Philadelphia Eagles (27)
23 Chris Kuper, Denver Broncos (27)
24 Marshal Yanda, Baltimore Ravens (25)
25 Alex Smith, New England Patriots (28)
26 Danieal Manning, Chicago Bears (28)
27 Chris Spencer, Seattle Seahawks (28)
28 Adam Terry, Baltimore Ravens (28)
29 David Clowney, New York Jets (25)
30 Josh Bullocks, Chicago Bears (27)

Just what we need - another Chris Brown! :eek:

With no agreement you can take off all the players with less than 7 years experience like Tony Scheffler. Our very own OD and Rynas will be RFA's as well.

O.D., Ryans, & Pitts aren't going anywhere. dRob now..........?

I'm seeing lots of love for Seymour as a FA. He's a good player, I guess I'm just not understanding where he'd play. He's essentially a better Antonio Smith. So, we could bump one of those guys down to 3-tech, but then what do we do with Okoye? I'd have no problem cutting him, myself. But, we know that's not a realistic possibility.

I just don't see a fit there.

I'm going over a couple of scenarios very EARLY. It's always fun to see who I mock select in the 6th round getting picked on draft day in the 2nd. Here's two such mocks...

1. WLB Sean Weatherspoon, Missouri
2. RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State
3. FS Myron Lewis, Vanderbilt
4. CB Syd'Quan Thompson, California
5a. OG Thomas Austin, Clemson
5b. CB Alterraun Verner, UCLA
6. DT Nate Collins, Virginia
7. DT Kade Weston, Georgia

1. FS Earl Thomas**, Texas
2. RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State
3. CB Syd'Quan Thompson, California
4. CB Alterraun Verner, UCLA
5a. OG Thomas Austin, Clemson
5b. OG Jon Asamoah, Illinois
6. DT Nate Collins, Virginia
7. DT Torrell Troup, Central Florida

Has Earl Thomas declared?

With LBs that can tackle and a SS like Pollard, Earl Thomas would be a good fit here since there would be plenty of back 7 help covering up his slight deficiencies in the run game. And I'd love to have a FS with ball skills (note this is assuming we bring back Pollard).

If Thomas declares, and he's there at our pick, that's the guy I want.

Roy, I can't see us taking a LB in the first, we've got much bigger needs that need to be filled.

It would be very tough to go LB in the first due to the fact that Cushing stays on the field on 3rd down and does a great job of it. That means if you draft a great WLB you are removing Ryans or Cushing on 3rd down (the WLB's biggest down) and because of that it is a limited impact.

I would hope secondary, but I would be ok with OL, RB, WR, or DL in that order also.

OK if we take Weatherspoon that would be 3 guys that can all stay on the field. The team can rotate the coverages, and blitzes. All three guys can play all three positions, not a bad thing, what if Ryans went down? With Weatherspoon and Cushing, you are OK in coverage.

I want to have a super group, either at LB or on the DL. I don't care where.

Weatherspoon would be a solid pick so long as he can cover the likes of Reggie Wayne on a deep post or fly-pattern, otherwise if he can't impersonate a CB lets make that position top-priority in the first round if we go D. But for a player that would be off the field in nickel packages, Cody or another big run-stopping DT seems to make more sense ?

So you want to draft another LB and keep all 3 on the field at once on 3rd downs?

FYI - In Rob Rang's most recent mock, he has us taking RB Jahvid Best. Another mock on CBS has us taking CB Patrick Robinson of Florida St.

I guess Best would be drafted on the "Best Available" theory. ;)

Old School baby. Thank old Steelers Russel, Lambert and Hamm.

Any one of the LBs can cover a TE or a RB.

Three WRs? You pull one of the LBs, but which one?

That's my point. 3rd down is a 3 WR down in the NFL. Actually, for some teams 1st and 2nd down are 3 WR downs. It's a passing league.

That is why I didn't like taking Cushing at first. Because in the NFL only two of your LBs play more than half the snaps and I wrongly assumed that as a SLB, Cushing would be the type to come out in those situations. Obviously he is not.

So, with what we have at LB already, drafting Witherspoon would mean that either our first round pick, or one of our two pro bowl LBs would be playing less than half the snaps. Its' just not going to happen.

If we go LB at all I would suspect it is a late rounder to back up Demeco. Do you guys have eyes on anyone who fits that billing (6th or 7th round plugger who is long on instincts but likely appears short on athleticism).

First, we don't have to take a LB off the field in Nickle packages. In fact, most of the time when we saw a passing situation, one of the D-Lineman would come off the field and we'd rush only 3. So, a 3-3-5 look isn't out of the question.

Secondly, just because you draft a player in the first round doesn't mean you will get a 1st round talent. If we had this team and were going into the 2004 draft, I'd rather select D.J. Williams than to select Ahmad Carroll. I'm also considering the possibility of getting a player like Nathan Vasher later in the draft to meet my need at the CB position.

Lastly, if you are merely looking for a player to be DeMeco's backup in the 6th round, might I suggest

Josh Hull, Penn State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 240.
Projected 40 Time: 4.77.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/565760

Boris Lee, Troy
Height: 6-0. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.76.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1128971

Ryan D'Imperio, Rutgers
Height: 6-3. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.80.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1115023

Yes. I'll also have the offense guess which one is coming on the blitz too.

Roy and I agree on this one. Cushing was the best coverage LB in the NFL, stats bear that out, and Weatherspoon is considered a top cover guy. Funny thing is both of these guys can also rush the passer. Now, let the QB guess which guy is hot and which guy is laying back.

It doesn't matter if they are top cover LBs. They still can't cover like a slot receiver, which is what one of them would have to do to make it plausible to have all 3 on the field in passing downs.

Look around the NFL and you'll see that no 4-3 team is playing 3 LBs on 3rd down. Most aren't even playing two. And it's not because nobody has come up with the inovation yet, it's because the forward pass was invented and it stopped being useful to have 3 LBs on the field at once on passing downs. Especially since a 3-3-5 is going to slide Mario in and make it tougher for him to rush the passer. A 3-3-5 on 3rd down also makes Connor Barwin useless. And I doubt the GM is looking to draft players that make his 2nd round pick from last year irrelevant.

Honestly there are too many logical reasons to list for why we won't go LB in round 1 in a million years.

But I don't need to argue this one. You guys can draft as many LBs as you want for your offseason defense. I don't have to agree with your X's and O's to appreciate the great work you do researching draft prospects.

So I'll just focus on your guys at OL, DT, FS, CB, RB, WR.

Focusing on DT position, I'd consider not only "upgrading" Shaun Cody at the NT position, but I'm also wanting to replace Jeff Zgonina. Deljuan Robinson and Frank Okam could use some competition, in my opinion. Therefore, I would not be hesitant to draft 2 DTs in this draft. Preferrably, a NT and a 3-Tech (one of each). I'm not in a hurry to spend a TOP pick on this "need" as we have seen, just b/c we used a first round pick on a DT (T.J. & A.O.), there's not guarantee that the produce immediately. So, the guys I'm targeting....

NT:
Jay Ross, East Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 314.
Projected 40 Time: 5.14.
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.
11/28/09: Has 35 tackles, three TFL, 1.5 sacks and a 49-yard fumble return for a touchdown. Jay Ross didn't look too bad running that one back on national TV.
2/14/09: Once again an All-Conference USA honorable mention, Jay Ross accumulated 48 tackles, 9.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks.

Ekom Udofia, Stanford
Height: 6-2. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.12.
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.
11/28/09: Hobbled by an ankle injury this year, Ekom Udofia has 34 tackles and 1.5 TFL in 11 games. Should be a solid reserve nose tackle in the NFL.

Cam Thomas, North Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 328.
Projected 40 Time: 5.18
Projected Round (2009): 5-6
12/31/08: Finished season with 34 tackles, 3.5 TFL, and one sack in 13 games.

Torrell Troup, Central Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 314.
Projected 40 Time: 5.34.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
11/28/09: Has 27 tackles, five TFL and two sacks in 11 games. Some 3-4 team needing nose tackle depth will take him late.

Kade Weston, Georgia
Height: 6-5. Weight: 322.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
11/28/09: Solid numbers for a nose tackle: 25 tackles, six TFL and two sacks in 11 games.

3-Tech:
Lamarr Houston, Texas
Height: 6-2. Weight: 300.
Projected 40 Time: 5.02.
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.
11/28/09: Having a monster year for the Longhorns with 37 tackles, 13.5 TFL and five sacks in 11 games.

Corey Peters, Kentucky
Height: 6-3. Weight: 295.
Projected 40 Time: 4.97.
Projected Round (2010): 4-5.
11/28/09: Having a monstrous senior campaign for the Wildcats with 49 tackles, 11 TFL and four sacks.

Nate Collins, Virginia
Height: 6-2. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.10.
Projected Round (2010): 5-6.
11/28/09: Has a whopping 70 tackles, 9.5 TFL and five sacks in 11 games as a senior.

Mick Williams, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-1. Weight: 280.
Projected 40 Time: 4.89.
Projected Round (2010): 5-6.
11/28/09: A 4-3 under tackle who can really get after the quarterback, Mick Williams has 13 TFL and four sacks in nine games this season.

I heard he Declared........I may have to figure out where he goes on my board.
Does he go ahead of 'Spoon? Haden?

The Austin paper confirms Thomas intends to go pro citing the need to do "what's best for my family". Good luck to him.

Latest and Greatest. Earl Thomas #4 on my board.

Fordham?? You want a quarterback from Fordham? Do they still run the single wing there? I think the last football star from Fordham was Vince Lombardi.

I saw him in the All-Star game and he looks just like Schaub, but with a little more zip on the ball. I also wanted to draft Schaub out of Virginia. I don't care if he was the QB of Sister Mary's School of Blind Girls.

Roy, maybe you have answered this. I know several others have expressed this opinion. You have two OT's at the top of your list. I think everyone knows Duane Brown could make an excellant pulling guard. Do you not think he will eventually be an elite LT?

To tell you the truth, I don't care. The two guys I have at the top of my list would make pretty good LGs if Chester Pitts can't come back from injury or is simply let go as a Free Agent. Maybe this season Brown stays at LT b/c of Experience and a rookie like Bulaga would play LG. Then next season, they could possibly flip positions if that's what the coaches thought would be best.
Conversely, if the Rookie came in and played LT and moved Brown - I'd be fine with that if the overall line play was better.

I thought he reminded me of Flacco, same size ease of motion and the ball zips up the seems. Now he is raw and need to work on his footwork and accuracy.

I won't argue too much with you PK, but I actually liked Schaub coming out of UVa more than Flacco. I thought Flacco would need more footwork drills since he was always in the Shotgun at UDel. Anyway, my point is we don't "need" a QB, but if we draft this kid from Fordham, I'd be o.k. with that.

My comparison to Flacco had more to do with the arm strength, I have never put Schaub in the high end of arm strength. Schaub is solid, and not weak armed, but he is also not a rocket arm. Flacco has a rocket arm.

Skelton has natural tools that need refinement.

Also I don't remember Schaub in college anymore, wasn't as big a college watcher then.
