Saw him running the 40, at 285+ not an once of fat on that guy, nothing but determination on his face. I saw can't miss written all over him.. What an animal.

My guess... at least five slots.

Damn shame we didn't lose that last game.....picking 9th really would have helped...............But think about this.......usually, some player looks so great during the Combine, that their stock rises so high that it changes the entire last half of the first 10 picks............... The TE from San Fran ( Vernon Davis) and the "Freak" from the Jags Matt Jones , both had incredible combine..40 times and jumped way up the charts, just from that.

I can't even imagine our Defense with a guy like that thrown into what we already have..............

Pat Sims!

scary, he is/was a freak of nature.. Most DT are a fat slobs this guy was cut I can see it today.. while he is not leading the NFL in tackles or sacks he has played well this past year..

But then had we gotten him in the draft mikey would have waited another ten years to draft anothe DL guy we would not have gotten any last year..

Enough already. NO MORE high profile FA signings please. None. I don't want any. Lets stop the madness. No Briggs. No Barber. No Turner. Nobody. I'm begging.

I think Pat has already more or less whispered that into mikeys ear..
I'd be surprised if we get any big money guys in FA.. perhaps some second tier but starter types..

NO one breaking banks..

i still don't think bunkley will last ten years-- the guy had two major knee surgeries in college, and tendons or ligments repaired in one of his ankles. . . the odds are great that he isn't destined for a long NFL career-- i would have hated taking bunkley there over cutler, and you know i've been on the "fix the DL" bandwagon for years now. . . .

Again, it's a hard choice.

Trade up to get Dorsey or Ellis and lose the opportunity to improve elsewhere.

Or

Lose the chance to acquire a "blue-chip" DT that we very likely won't be able to draft again and still have the ability to draft other players in positions of need.

Tough call.
