Hell of a draft though.

Round 1: Quinton Coples
Round 2: Bobby Massie (meh)
Round 3: Chris Givens
Round 4: Chase Minnifield
Round 5: Ladarius Green

Dallas is looking OL if DeCastro is on the board

That would make sense they have their two ot but their interior is pretty weak

I can see sd also looking that way with dielman rretirement

I've watched him, and as an athlete Perry impresses ... alot - as a 'football' player not nearly as much. He makes plays when they come to him but he doesn't create much on his own , likes to keep his feet clean, and doesn't force his way into plays he's close enough to have an effect on. He'll make a better LB than DE . If he has the will to learn how to play the game better then huge upside - without it he'll probably disappoint.

Mercilus is the better pure DE / football player right now imo.

That seems to be what a lot of draft board/mock draft speculation is confirming now. I figure that since Buffalo signed MWill + MAnderson that they're out of the draft market for a DE. Same with Tennessee since they signed Wimbley. Bunch of other teams ahead of us in the teens play a 3-4 and Merc looks more like a straight 4-3 guy. I figure that puts him likely still on the board at #19 even if Couples and Ingram are gone.

This is all predicated on the Bears taking a DE in the 1st round which seems to be the consensus around here.

So watch them shock all of us and take a center or a LB in the 1st round. LOL
