Post Combine First Round Prospects at 9

Well this is what Rivera said which I think is telling:

“Not just necessarily the corner, but the pass rush,” he said when asked about draft priorities. “I think you have to have pass rush. You have to put pressure on the quarterback, as well. So I think it’s a combination or a mixture of both.”

Most coaches will come right out and tell you straight what they plan on doing like Rivera. Think about it.

Last year when we had the number 1 pick we knew we could get whoever we want. This year at 9 we know we have to have things fall right. I can't imagine Hurney or rivera would tip their hand about who we are taking this early. I really doubt their draft board is even 1/4 of the way completed at this point so, yeah, I would take this with a grain of salt.

and Rivera is saying pass rush....which based on who he selected as his DC and what Rivera also has done at certain spots....means the entire front 7 are part of generating it.

If Rivera was running a Tampa 2 he would be talking just DT/DE.

Sounds like we're going with a pass rushing corner.

i think munnerlyn had more sacks than both our rookie DT combined... so i guess there's that.
