and Bowers runs a 4.4 40 standing at 6 foot 5 275 lbs, throws up 225 30 times, and jumps like a cb...Ill be foaming at the mouth for this kid. And if i recall I liked him better then Luck and posted a poll about it 4 weeks ago. If we take Newton it will be the story of VY compared to Mario Williams...Sign Palmer when he gets cut...Taking Bowers and franchising Johnson, along with Hardy and Brown...Sign a some beef up the middle, Thomas Davis comes back...Now your looking at arguably the best Dline and line backing core in football. Palmer although in consistent can get the ball out to Gettis deep, and make all the throws for our style of offense.

And wht Dt would you like to take NUMBER 1 overall? That would be by far the worst choice for the franchise EVER! Unless its Suh potential I dont want it unless its the 2nd round or lower...Never pay aDT that kind of money.

Nick Fairley is ranked just below Bowers on most draft boards and has the chance to pass him with a good showing in the championship I suspect.

I really hope Palmer isn't integral to that theory of yours because that isn't happening.

Why sign someone to 'beef up' the middle when you can just draft the player? Our ends are already the strength of the line.

our end, singular, is the strength of the line.

from Vernon Gholston's combine profile:

Gholston has a relentless motor in pursuit. If he had more on-field experience, he could be an outstanding linebacker at the next level. However, with teams looking for hybrid Cover-2 pass rushers, he is perfectly capable of impacting the backfield coming off the edge or dropping back into the zone to cover vs. the pass. He is still a raw talent that gets by on his athletic ability, but in a few years, with patient coaching and more experience, he has the potential to change the game, much like Abraham, Dwight Freeney (Indianapolis) and Jason Taylor (Miami) have done playing in that role.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
