Wow. At this point, I am really happy with the pick. I did not think he would be available at 26. I also thought Cordy Glenn and J. Martin would be gone. Thought the pick could have been either one of those guys, or Nick Perry when the Texans were on the clock. I thought it was very exciting. I like Perry, but his motor isn't as consistent as Mercilus, from what I've read. Mercilus' back story is awesome, as well. He has overcome a lot, and I'm very happy for him. High motor, try hard guy with skills.
I'd like to ask the legion (
) of posters here, if they would be onboard with an interior defensive lineman in the 2nd round, if a very good one were there? One site is mocking the Texans taking Ta'amu in the second. Are you okay taking OL and WR in the 3rd and 4th rounds if a really good DL is there at their pick in the 2nd?
Some who might be available:
Ta'amu
Mike Martin
Devon Still
Jerel Worthy
Kendall Reyes
Brandon Thompson
Jared Crick
Andre Branch
