Why is there little chance of Worilds resigning? Does he not like Pittsburgh or something? I'd love to have him lol. He's a beast. He only has half a season where he has played good. He will either play out of our price range, or play to the point where he isn't worth signing to a long-term contract. What do you think of Carl Davis? Gotcha. I could probably tell you more about Carl Davis after Michigan plays Iowa. But as far as him as a pick for the Saints, I am not sure I agree with it. Despite our pass defense being really bad, our run defense is 9th in the league right now. So NT doesn't look like a position of need. With Brodrick Bunkley and John Jenkins (who had a great rookie year last year), we're set at that position unless something unforeseen happens. Right now I'd like a cornerback or a speedy linebacker who's good in pass coverage. Admittedly, Bunkley does carry a pretty big cap number, so I guess it isn't out of the realm of possibility we cut him after this season. But that's the only way I could see us drafting DT/NT. (in your last mock draft, I thought the Denzel Perryman pick was perfect)

Yeah, he and the top 2 corners are off the board in my mock so I gave them Shaq Thompson. I didn't even know worilds was leaving. -Sent from my food hole. Shaq Thompson is more of a 4-3 OLB if I remember correctly. He wouldn't fit in our scheme very well. He isn't much of a pass rusher. This confused me too, because every website I had showed him as a 4-3, but when I watched film on Washington they play a 3-4 hybrid with a 4-3 on third downs. So he's really both. And I think he'll be a great pass rusher if they can get him on a stunt. He's huge!

When I say projects, I mean trying to convert players to their own scheme from a different base Defense. He hasn't had a sack yet this year through 4 games, had only .5 sacks last season, and only 1 sack the year before. That isn't Steeler Pass Rush material IMO.

As long as you quit treating Oregon like the scum of the universe, then I think we have a deal

Ifo would be sweet. Definitely the best CB in the draft, right EagleDomiKnation? CoC finally gave Funchess a receiver label. Good job bro, I knew you'd come around eventually.
