I see you post AFTER locker declares he's staying in college, he yhadnt at the time I posted. given stl will almost certainly draft a qb, and cleveland touted to take berry, i don't think my claims are overly wild, but troll away

I also think the texans should give some serious consideration to grabbing alabamas dt cody,put him in their with mario and cushing at lb and you have a serious pass rush going on to go with their high powered offense. Cody offers very little in terms of pass rush. He is a run stuffer who is very difficult to move and thus creates a pile in the middle making it hard to run up the gut. He won't even be on the field for obvious passing situations. |

I know Berry is very good but I think a lot of people are forgetting about Taylor Mays, he'll be the first safety taken for mine, he has everything that will make him stand out in the combine and for that reason I think he'll move ahead of Berry.

Mays is an athletic freak but he hasn't the iota of talent or production of Berry.
Berry will probably run a fast 40 time than Mays as it happens, and it should be interesting to see the short shuffle and 3 cone times. Anyone picking Mays over EB is either a**or Al Davis. Which is the same thing basically. |

Nayim,he's a college player and a 300lb player at that with enormous nfl potential for causing havoc and occupying offensive linemen,if you think he won't aid a pass rush then perhaps you'd like to tell me who would.

No doubt Cody can occupy 2 players inside but he won't get into the backfield as often as you'd expect. He is a prototype 3-4 system NT in that he is big enough to occupy the A gap and 2 players. 3-4 NTs are primarily run stuffers and not pass rushers.
As far as I know the Texans play a 4-3 defense so its hugely unlikely that they'll take him. If they want to improve their pass rush they'll look at the DE position. |

fair point but think a 3-4 defense would get the best out of super mario and cushing looks like a star in the making there as well,they ain't far away from being a very good team.
Also begs the question what gm's would consider doing to trade up when there's some obvious blue chip performers in the draft in the likes of suh and berry. If your san francisco do you trade up your 2 first round picks to guarantee a shot at one of these players rather than take a chance on 2 others ? |

Depends if you want to put all your eggs in one basket! Two ( one on either side of the ball ) cheaper good productive 1st round picks would be the way I went!

therein lies the dilemma of being a gm ! I'd rather take an all pro than 2 starters
