Excellent list. Some thoughts:
- What is it you don't like about Sheldon Day?
- Not high on Jihad Ward? He's raw but he has great length and looks athletic on tape. Dominated at the Senior Bowl. Oodles of untapped potential although might be better suited as a 3-4 DE.
- Justin Zimmer sounds really intriguing.
- Dalvin Bryant? Join the bandwagon.
- Glad to see you've got Bullard top. A trade up for him wouldn't surprise me.
- Having said that, Ridgway and Sheldon Day would be a good way to fill the DT corps in a hurry.
- Adam Gotsis is someone I need to check out. Might need to stash him on IR for a year but he's got a good rep.
- Last but not least. Dean Lowry in the 6th would be a good way to double dip.
Thanks for the thoughts Manx. Lets see if I can answer these questions.
1. As for Day-Short with Short arms and no room to grow. Looks to be a purely situational guy to me that didn't test as well as I had hoped to be a useful piece off the bench. I saw this experiment several years ago, his name was Dan Klecko.
2. I am not high on Ward. He did have a great Senior Bowl but I didn't see it on tape. He seemed to be constantly pushed back. A bit of a tweener for me. 3-4 end might be his best fit, but he needs to get some more sand in his pants. Love his hand work though.
3. It will be very interesting to see where he goes.
4. I am stumped on this one. Delvon Simmons of USC? I have no notes for a Dalvin Bryant. Please fill me in.
5. Why not try again. I love the idea of a player with his skillset on this team.
6. Rideway yes, Day....I have said my peace with him.
7. Gotsis was a tough cut for me, but the injury was a big concern. If he falls to late in the draft, I would have no issue with taking him. I had a lot of positive notes for him.
8. I have Lowry in my DE group (coming out tomorrow I hope) Stay tuned.
