Unless he plays DE or OLB you mean

Ha ha. Great British minds think alike. I actually wrote that exact sentence but deleted it thinking it might be too provocative.

Which means what exactly? He won't play football at all?

Not this year, he's planning to run at the Olympic trials and turn pro as a sprinter.

While I do think you are outrageously over the top on most days with the superlatives and overall structure of your post and such, I'll be sad to see you go. When you aren't too far over the top I usually enjoy your posts. And your vocabulary, I don't know whether I love it or hate it.

I do regularly go to your site, which I think is user-friendly(although a drop-down menu of the positions to choose from would be an upgrade) and has a lot of good information. Great compilation of many different sources.

Good luck to you wherever you go to next!

Well that's bull****. You're a significant part of why I even post here.

*27) New England Patriots (via Saints) - Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB: Another versatile front seven player the Patriots could add to their defense. The Patriots could look to use Mercilus as a DE in 4-3 sets and an OLB in the 3-4. Mercilus has a lot of talent and has piled on the sacks, but he has done so at the expense of leaving his assignments and leaving himself vulnerable for offenses to run by him. New England could hope to make him more disciplined in their system while taking advantage of his natural physical talent.

*32) New England Patriots - Fletcher Cox, DE/DT: The second versatile front seven player New England selects, but Cox can thrive as a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 DE, Cox has athleticism and superb strength. He has pass rushing moves, but he mostly depended on his bull rush while at Georgia. He is at a good weight for either position, but he's capable of adding more weight at the pro level. Adding him to play next to Mercilus would be a good way for New England to start patching up a poor defense, especially one that generates little pass rush.

i love the picks but incidently Konz and Crick go between our two picks...

Well, that's quite a bummer. I've always enjoyed talking football with you (even though sometimes your writing style has me shaking my head j/k). Hopefully we'll cross cyberpaths in the future. Until then I bid you peace and good luck. GO PATS.
