Let's talk about the defense

[Real fan 02]

The draft has lots of good DT's and EDGE players in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. We need both, which make it important to try to keep the picks.

DEFENSIVE LINE (good depth ???)
Williams, Barmore, Tonga
Pharms, Johnson, Roy,
White should get some reps as a DL

We could easily add 2-3 defensive lineman. We won't; I think that we should keep Pharms.

EDGE (we can always use another)
Landry, Jennings, Chaisson, White
Spillane can probably also work outside if needed

TO COMPLETE THE FRONT SEVEN (ILBS)
Spillane, Ellis
Tavai, Gibbens, Mapu

Mapu is listed as a safety... I definitely agree we never can have to many edge rushers.. I feel like 2 under the radar signings will pay dividends for us.. Tonga and Chaisson..

Does anyone know about clotting issues
Is it chronic or acute?

It can be recurring, there have been several athletes that had blood clots and missed a year and returned and never had problems again. Conversely there have been several that had them responded to treatment but they eventually returned and ended careers.


My smartass answer is that acute means the condition comes on suddenly and only last for a short while and chronic last for a months-years.
So they are mostly all chronic.
