Moved to runoff poll between Roye, Kiwanuka, and Okeafor.

I'm voting other, for Reggie Hayward. He could end up as a big-time sack guy in Jacksonville. He gets to play the Texans twice a year!

agreed

Other - Bernard

I'm not one to give manlove to rookies, especially on the defensive side of the ball but this kid Kiwanuka is special.

Went with Kiwanuka for the upside, but it was close between him and Richard Seymour.

another vote for Kiwanuka. the kid is special and some rookie DLs have been productive right away in recent years.
