I find some of these mock drafts interesting.It seems have shifted from Fairley to Bowerers as our first pick.Though Charles Johnson played well he is a FA and I guess we could franchise him but I do not know if we can count on sighning him.I know we have a need at DT and that will not change.

CJ shouldnt be let to be on the market, I dont think that we'll let him go. I dont see Brayton getting resigned, and Hardy and Brown switching off opposite CJ would be decent. It could be a need, but not as big as the others we have, IMO...

I don't know if taking Bowers is a sign we are not bringing back CJ. Everybody in the nfl wants pass rushers and if you can have two that would be ideal. This defense was at it's best when Rucker and Peppers or Lathon and Green were creating havoc off the edge. I would be all for a line with Bowers and Johnson.

For some reason.. I'm beginning to see us getting Bowers to start alongside Johnson with Hardy and Brown as the backups. Although I don't see it as a need. Though that would be messed up since we gave up a First for Brown already.. Man this draft can go so many different ways.. I want Charles Johnson back though. Regardless of who we draft.

Will we franchise him? No we won't. He will be a restricted free agent so we can tender him and have right to match any salary he may receive. Or get a first and third for him if we don't match it.

I think it depends on the new CBA. Players might get rid of restricted free agency in exchange for the longer season. I think we keep him regardless of the new system though.

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
