Michael Johnson? He has all the potential that Mario did coming out, but will he up his motivation, and play every down? I say he will. So I would keep an eye on him in this Draft.

I would love to have Michael Johnson. One positive about bringing him here is he would only be needed as a situational guy to start, but would still make an early impact as Kubiak stated our high picks needed to. He does not have to be "the man", and he can learn some good work habits from Mario. If he could live up to his potential along side Mario and Amobi gets it going.....

I mentioned this is in another thread, but the following lineup could be very legit on passing downs:

Williams Smith Okoye Johnson

I feel like we have plugged enough holes, and have enough depth in this draft that we could take a bit of a risk/reward stance on our 1st round pick.

Me too, except I am hoping that Everette Brown is that guy who slips to #15.

McShay on his 7 rounder has Johnson slipping all the way to 27 in the second to the Carolina Panthers.

I was just rereading this thread and wondered how everyone felt about having Conner Barwin as our situational passrusher? Super athletic, with speed for his size. Added to this he should be a whiz as a special teamer. I, personally didn't think he would still be there in the second round.

I'm good withtaking DE there, with that being Conner Barwin. if in 2-3 years he's a big contributor, maybe right away on special teams, then a great pick, which I currently think it will be.

I'm wondering if he could be as effective as Chris Kelsay who was drafted by the Bills and coached by Kollar at #48 by the Bills in 2003. Kelsay is 6'4" and 261lbs and gets around 5 sacks a year. That would be my minimum expectation for Barwin. On the flip side, Osi Umenyiora who was drafted #56 in that same year, has been good for 8-12 sacks, when healthy over his career (14.5 high).
