Did you guys suddenly forget who our GM is?

[SmootsDaddy89]

David Gettleman won two superbowls with an amazing front 7 and a secondary composed of bwood post-level defensive backs.

The panthers rated 2nd in defense in 2002 with an outstanding front 4 and some dudes behind them that may or may not have been busing tables previously

Also, Short had a first round grade on him from several experts (BUT NOT MAYOCK!!!!!)

I like the short pick

[Keep Pounding]

I am okay with getting two DT's, Edwards is aging and it has been a need for most of our existence. I wanted Jessie Williams more, but I am okay with it.

With Star forcing Double teams, and Short being more of a pass rushing DT. The opponents OL better have great Tackles to contain Hardy and CJ. If teams have to leave more people in for protection that means we will have less guys running routes on our (supposedly weak secondary). Maybe me can blitz TD and Beason more and let Luke roam the field and make plays on the run or on the pass.

I am excited for our draft.

"Does a great pass rush mask issues in the secondary? Of course it does." - Gettleman

LOL

He makes no bones about it...pass rush will be the strength of this defense no matter the state of the secondary. Considering how well the back four played towards the end of last season, perhaps that gave him the intention to go all out on the DL.

Feeding Frenzy is what Gettlemen called it!

[Panthro]

pssst guess what the Giants are still drafting D lineman.

Obviously the Hurney model of RBs and LBs got us absolutely no where....give Getts a chance before you go and david carridine yourself to your poster of dwill

Jessie still hasn't been taken. Triple up on DTs? :) At that point I'd just laugh my ass off. I appreciate the pick of Short in the 2nd, though I would have preferred Allen or Warford probably, but adding Short to our DL rotation makes our front 7 just insane and young.

THE HOG MOLLIES ARE STARVING. THEY MUST EAT!!!!

Montori Hughes at 108?

[Pantherman]

I'm excited about this pick no doubt. I believe Gettleman learn from the best over the years. I believe he knows what he is doing. Coming from the Giants that has a great D for years now. I put my faith in Gettleman to do the job right. It will pay off come training camp. So when we are 6-2 in the middle of the season and our D is in the top five. Then the whining little kids right now will be mad about been wrong. Gett. has everything in hand right now.

[Montie_0123]

I'm okay with the picks we made we hand to sure up the D-line, the last two years teams were eating us up, up the middle and it cost us some games.

Don't feel like we're in win now mode with this pick. Do we fire RR if we don't make playoffs this year? Another rebuilding year?

Warford is the only guy I would have rather had than Short. I like Short over any other defensive pick.

[saX man]

Yep. Other than Warford,tThe offensive guys people had in mind minus Escobar fell farrr. We got great value and a 3-5 tech that will keep our d-line fresh and hopefully dominant.
