I agree that most 3-4 linebackers are a different breed, most criticism Mayo gets is that he isn't an edge rusher which is why I brought that up, Mayo is a clearcut #2 behind Willis on the field, they are similar players so that is a good comparison. Mayo is a stud LB, he deserves his paycheck.

That's only for 4-3 OLBs in the base package, if you look at all LBs there are about a half dozen higher, and in there are a dozen more that come really close to his. Most of the time we are in a 4-2-5 or some other sub package, making OLB/ILB less of a distinction.

He was the 3rd most productive safety from that draft class, if you look at the picks around him there's some that have been more productive sure, but there's also been less productive ones, his career isn't over. He'll probably even be in the competition to start this year, his rookie year was...

1st rounders are now up to 9 by my count with Will Smith signed

Not to mention terrible officiating such as being called for PI when you didn't even touch them...

Forgot about Browner and Kelly being UDFA, pretty good players.

Danny Amendola, kind of gets a bad rap around here but he is a starting quality player, UDFA. Wes Welker was a UDFA, Thompkins was UDFA, had a pretty productive season. Bolden was UDFA, productive in RB committee, BJGE was a UDFA for us before getting a big contract with Cinci. Wendell was...

For those claiming McCourty was a bust and/or bad pick, ask yourself "Is an all-pro safety worthy of pick 27 in the first round?" if that answer is "yes" because it is, how is McCourty not a good pick? He had an all-pro year at corner his rookie year, slumped his sophomore year. In his third...

You only get 1 first rounder a year, you can sign as many UDFA as you want in the offseason, really not surprising that there are that many...

5th an 7th are anomalies, but UDFA is about where I expect it

I called the Hightower pick 2 years ago

same here

Sanchez's game worn ButtFumble (TM) jersey is up for auction.

sign him after June 1 so he doesn't count against comp picks

College hockey and minors coexist. College baseball and minors coexist. You could even take a kid who went to college, draft him on day 3 and send him to the D-league for a year than would otherwise be a year riding pine and playing ST if he's lucky.

from a football perspective, a D-league would prepare players better.

Put 32 teams in non-NFL cities, 8 regular season minor league games, 4 prior to the start of NFL training camp/preseason, 4 after the preseason games, gives the players who can make it up to the bigs a shot and allow camp fodder and the rest go back to the minors. After the regular season have...

Publix has a better defense than most of the ACC.

the only way it works is with 32 teams each tied to a parent team so they can install the same system. 90 players are brought into camp every year, it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to bring in a handful more and field a minor league team

Providence Steamrollers could be the Pats minor league team, bring back a historic NFL name. They were NFL champs in 1928!
