Mayock says Fairley is not top DT talent in the draft class...

yes I agree. Funny people here talk about Fairley being the BPA in the draft when he's not even the best at his position.

For every 1 you can get that says Fairley is not best DT, you can find one that says he is. Using one person's opinion as gospel is kind of silly don't you think? Let the combine, interviews and etc take place.

If the JJ defense calls for a gap-shooting, 3-technique DT, then he is the best. 24 tackles for loss, 60 tackles, and 11.5 sacks in the SEC? Pretty good, IMO.

However, I say the "Steve Smith wants a trade" dialogue could lead us to take Green, arguably the best player in the draft.

He's hit and miss on his picks but I think he is right on this one.

So is Hurney. He called his bad picks "The nature of the draft." But when you trade away first rounders for undersized DEs, when you trade second rounders to draft small school QBs to convert to other positions, you create bad nature.

This is one of those really tricky things.

Fairley is the flashier, showier of the two, and he has more hype because he was in the National Championship game. Dareus could easily be the more consistent, safer choice of the two, but potentially not as much of an impact player.

Having to make these kinds of choices really sucks. Take the first guy, and you risk learning that he was all flash and no substance while the other guy proves to be a solid player. Take the second, and you might learn that number one actually was as good as advertised while number two is just average (essentially Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan all over again).

Right now, I'd probably still favor Fairley at #1. If they managed to trade down a few spots though, Dareus could make more sense.

Glad my job doesn't ride on having to make these sorts of decisions.

Best case scenario for me at this point, trade down a handful of spots, get an extra 2nd rounder, take Dareus. That's if you can find a trade partner which is a HUGE if.

If you're stuck at #1 then you go with the best player you can get, no reaching for need. To me the really elite talents are Patrick Peterson and AJ Green.

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying
