Draft: Overrated, Dark Horse, Underrated, Fallers

[Chadman]

Just want to point out who was pimping Timmons the whole time before he got drafted....

I agree that the front gets better and the back gets better, but NT is not the most important anymore with the implementation of zone stretches. Its negates having a NT. 2 Boss DEs is WAY more effective than a NT unless they are dontari poe.

Texans and Niners dont have that stud NT and run a base 34, yes they are more one gapping systems (especially wade phillips texans) but having 2 DEs that can not only stack and shed blockers but rush the passer and collapse the pocket makes the OLBs exponentially better.

I like Nix, but I could also really like Kerr....they are not that different as players. Fangupu could be a guy to turn the corner too

Everyone forgets that Fangupo will be 29 this year.

Pure comedy gold right there SOD, excellent reference to a TV commercial.

Thanks, Pap.

What's weird, is i started writing the first couple "and when...", then realized, "this sounds like a directv commercial" and had to see it through..

Nix is going to be a Poe like NT.

Nix is going to be a Poe like NT.

you don't know that.

Nix is going to be a Poe like NT.

I see flashes of that, but hes not even close to being the type of overall athlete as poe. Ive compared him favorably to poe and wilfork before, as prospects though

Right now hes a top 40 prospect with a balky knee, and high ceiling and decent floor at a position that doesnt hold much value in the 2014 NFL, at least not the kind it did in the 2000 NFL

Yep. That's how I see it too. He isn't worth the #15
