and if Leonard is still on the board? I just have a HUGE issue not going offense in top 10 if the playmakers are there

Don't you know that all the players will be taken by our pick? ;)

If Allen improved our pass rush, and helped to put an attitude in our defense, I'm cool with that.

This is still a very deep draft for RBs, WRs and TEs.

I wouldn't.

You do realize Allen is really good right? 2nd best player behind Garrett imho from the draft.

Another DT in the first? Sure why not. Gettleman hell just triple dip on Safteys and DLine and draft an RB in round 7 wouldn't suprise me in the fuging slightest 

     If he were a DT, this post might make sense. He's a DE that can push inside on passing downs. Something we absolutely need.

If he does, it will be the quickest selection in Gettleman history.

Naw, I think he'll take the full ten minutes and savor each sweet second knowing that he's going to get Allen at number eight.

Anyone who thinks that Fournette and a second round DE would help this team more than Allen and a second round RB needs to go watch the LSU/Alabama games again and see which player shined.

Will be interesting to see what rankings indicate post Combine.  Most team boards will change a little, but all the draft sites will change a lot as will Huddle opinions.

Allen as the measurables to be a 34 DE.  Not sure how quick he is for the outside pass rush in the 43 however.  We will see.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
