Official 2013 NFL Draft - Rounds 4-7 Thread

Thinking about this a little more, if Reed does go inside, what does the nickel front look like?

DE/OLB Montgomery
DL Watt
DL Smith
DE/OLB Mercilus
LB Cushing
LB Reed

Not only is that a lot of pass rush ability on the field, but also a lot of versatility. I could see Wade moving Reed in particular around to create some real mismatches.

As soon as someone figures out what we got for giving up that pick please let us know.

Texans get the Rams two 6th round picks in the trade radio is reporting..... That means the Texans have four 6th round picks....

Just gonna have a single inside backer in the nickel.

If Reed is one of those ILBs, though, do they take him off the field on passing downs?

Good problem to have, IMO.

Traditionally, yes. I think Warren's point is that Wade has the ability, the personnel, to get more speed on the field in passing situations. That's the whole point of the 3-4 to begin with. Do you think a QB looking at 3rd and 8 would be more troubled by Brooks Reed or Earl Mitchell?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
