    The more I think about it the more it seems likely that he’s the pick if we start pat at 4.

    I don’t agree with it because I’d rather KT or Burks but he just fits the mold of a Salah type DE. It’s pretty much exactly what we are looking for.

    Fast rising athlete freaks scare the shit out of me! Walker at least played at the top level of football and won a natty. That earns some respect

    i'm thinking he goes 3rd to the texans. I think jax does the smart thing for once and grabs an OT (ekwonu most likely but don't rule out neal) I think hutch is a lock at 2 unless det trades down and walker at 3. we take thib at 4. giants take sauce at 5 caronlina takes willis and giants take neal

    Could play out that way for sure. I do think the Jags will go OT as well the more I think about it and what Doug Peterson had in Philly with that OL. I think they will try to protect sunshine. Hutchison to Det makes sense. Walker to Texans makes sense too. Their GM is a Belicheck guy and I could see him drooling over Walker. That leaves us KT or trade back… The giants need OL but I could also see Sauce or Hamilton. Carolina I could see trade back or Pickett. ATL I see WR or Willis. Sea could reach or trade back. Then at 10 it will be WR/S/CB/DT

    I'm hoping that Walker goes almost anywhere other than the Jets. He could develop into a top Edge, but his lack of production, experience, and pass rush moves, means to me that it would be at least a year, if not two before teams would find out how good he can be.

    I want Jermaine Johnson as our Edge at #4. Then either take Garret Wilson or Burks at #10 or trade down 5-10 spots and take any of the top WRs other than London. In the second take Lewis Cine and an OT or Travis Jones/Phidarian Mathis.

    giants pick at 5 and 7. they want to move on from bradbury at CB. carolina is likely to take willis. that means giants know they get 2 guys off their board at the top when their pick comes up. neal and cross will still be there so taking sauce makes sense and even if neal goes at 6, they can land cross at 7 and pick high enough for a good edge in the 2nd

    I have Cross as my number 1 tackle so I can see that. He’s a pass blocking machine that is ultra athletic. To be honest I could see him be our pick if we go tackle at 4. Giants have a lot of holes and will look to replace Peppers with Hamilton as well.

    they could do that for sure but I think with daboll and their new GM both coming form buffalo, they'll want to give DJ a real shot and get him some protection upfront and if he fails take a QB next year that already has good players around him. I think they take an OT for sure and neal or cross should be there for them at 7. sauce makes sense because they have no cap room and want to move bradbury

    Surprising, direct, and courageous statement, NC! I've been going along with the herd that we should take KT at 4 if he's there, although I saw enough of JJ to say that he would be a fine plan B at 4 if KT isn't there. However, your statement for JJ ahead of KT is backed up by an ex-Jet defensive lineman (EDIT: just noticed that you've seen this clip also):
