If Lamar Miller is there, I say take him. Too good to pass up, IMO, especially considering the Mendenhall situation.
Also consider Chapman, Ta'Amu, or an ILB.

Completely agree w/ Lamar Miller. Even though it would be top 3 picks to offense, I think we gotta do it....he has an explosive element none of our backs have and is a great kick returner to boot.
I would love Ta'Amu, but I don't want Chapman. I doubt he'll be ready for the regular season opener and I don't want an NT who already has a knee surgery coming into the league... so much wear and tear at that position.

Didn't Hampton have surgery at Texas? And then two more since being in the league? I think he's turned out OK

Haha exception to every rule. Chapman didn't make near as many plays at Bama as Big Snack did... I just think we need NT depth immediately and Chapman doesn't provide that. I do think we really like Mike Martin though.

NT's need very little lateral agility...ACL injuries are not a massive problem for NT's.

There are pretty good NT prospects next year, IMO. Both seniors and juniors.

Truthfully I don't think we have any glaring holes left that are absolute needs. We can just go BPA the rest of the way like we've already been doing.
Also, I love it that Tom Bradley has been on 970 ESPN all evening beaking down picks.

NT is not a glaring whole?
Casey Hampton had ACL injury in Jan. It takes 2 full years to be 100% for skill player that weight 100 lbs less than him.

If your NT is moving more than 5 yards in either direction something has gone wrong
"EDIT"
Exept for the rare occasion when LeBeau has the NT drop back 8 yards into coverage.......god I love that guy!!!

So who's it gonna be, a RB? NT? ILB?
Maybe Ladarius Green in a surprise pick?

Hmm. Didn't expect him at all. Good player though.

Prep for life without 3-4?
He'll bulk up like Timmons, but wished we picked someone taller than 6'0.
We don't have anyone really after Timmons and Sylvester, and Foote isn't anything to write home about anymore.

Spence is a baller though, i guess if the league is changing towards a passing league, defences need to adjust too!

+ Keith Butler says it every time we draft an ILB..."our scheme keeps our ILB's away from the o-lineman, his size shouldnt be a problem."

The kid can play. I don't care about his height. I think he is a solid pick. He is all over the field and makes a lot of tackles which is just what we're looking for right now.

He's a Steeler type linebacker. He needs to bulk up some but I think we got a steal here IMO

Interesting to note on Adams, he apparently did lie to the Steelers and they took him off their board. He personally requested a meeting with Tomlin, Colbert, and Mr. Rooney, and it appears that they reached an agreement regarding a bonus/incentive/something financial. He supposedly won't get paid for 18 months, and will only get paid if he keeps in check.
Also, he already has one strike. Three and he's off the team.
Seems like a good initial arrangement to not only keep him straight, but motivate him to work his ass off.
