One could also argue that Nicks has injury concerns and other than that they are pretty equal production/age/talent wise.I like Nicks but Cruz is close for me.

That's good. So far I need him to fill five.Edit to fix misquote.

Please! Good grief, this is basically spotlighting.ETA: I think I'm glad someone picked Dunlap. I like him, and would have had to tak ehim here, which would have locked me into a 4-3. I'm glad I can stay flexible now

I was dreaming Dunlap would fall. I only have Wagner for my front 7 but that locks me into 4-3 essentially.

5.26 Rams select Devin McCourty, CB
McCourty actually turned into a pretty solid corner this past season, both in coverage and against the run. With my fearsome front line, I'm thinking that's all I need.
1.07- J.J. Watt
2.26 - Vince Wilfork
3.26 - Nick Fairley
4.07 - Derrick Hohnson
5.26 - Devin McCourty
I'm obviously biased. That said, I think this is the best defense (unfortunately, of course, also the worst offense) so far.
ETA: I sent a PM, btw

And 8th best CB. According to them he played just over 500 snaps at each position. Not bad versatility...

of watching the Patsies , including 3 at gillette I felt he was much better at S. PFF having him ranked 8th really surprises me

Exactly what I was going to say.As I continue with flexibility, I very much considered that in my pick. If corner value falls, I move him to safety. If safeties fall, he plays corner.

whats not to like about it?Damn, I figured I would get at least one comment on my Jared Allen pick...sure he is older, but he is still probably the 2nd or 3rd best DE in the league right now. Heck, the Andre Johnson pick got lots of love, how about my superstar veteran?

Great pick of course. He fell further than he should have.

You probably took him about the right time. I don't think he's even in the top 10 at DE anymore though. PFF has him as their 11th best at just pass rushing last season, but he was down at 24 overall because of all the penalties.Damn, I figured I would get at least one comment on my Jared Allen pick...sure he is older, but he is still probably the 2nd or 3rd best DE in the league right now.

I just got back home. Roos and Vollmer were both my picks so I need to regroup. I also need to handle a couple other things first in addition to catch up on the picks but I'll make my picks in 30 minutes or so.

Jared Allen is not a top 10 DE? In what world?

According to rbm, posting anything other than pick number, team, and player name is far too much information

Jared Allen, for all his pass-rushing glory, had only 12 sacks in almost 1100 snaps. His production is declining. That's not to say that he couldn't get more this year, or that his leadership and experience isn't worth something. The 5th seems about right, but again why pay for past production? All that matters is what he'll do in the next 5-10 years and his upside is limited.
I did just read that he had a torn labrum last year and he's having surgery, so maybe with full movement he'll return to his former glory. So yeah he's worth a 5th. It's not a bad pick IMO just not a steal.

Not true. Stupid hyperbole and quoting PFF annoys me.And I'll admit I've got a chip on my shoulder over the Flacco nonsense.

Pro football focus. Fairly new site that uses ridiculous evaluation methods. Trying to become footballs version of sabermetrics.Basically the anti-scout.

Certainly blindly using their rankings is dumb, but ignoring a valuable reference which uses actual stats and calculations is also dumb.

5.32 Saints select Michael Bennett, DE
6.1 Saints select Chris Harris Jr., CB
With 2 pick to go before mine, I had 2 high impact left tackles remaining on my board: Roos and Vollmer. Both went right before me. Ideally I would have got a LT here but I'm not panicking because last year Rodgers had Marshall Newhouse protecting his blindside. I think I can at least do that well at LT.
I am sticking true to my board and taking BPA. Bennett provides a young edge rusher coming off a hot season. Chris Harris will be used similar to how he was used with the Broncos, where he excelled. Webb can track the other team's best receiver while Harris can cover the number two and move to the slot outside of base personnel (Webb is also a good slot corner).

I am going offense next turn for sure... I think. 
I could use another edge rusher, but my main components on defense are now selected.

For your Drew Brees-led team, I think the pick is a perfect fit. He'll be 31 to start the season and I expect he only has 2-3 more years of his prime left and then he'll be a solid contributor for another couple of years. This about fits Brees's window. I think most teams were scared to select him and other players around his age early because generally players lose it really quickly and there is no definitive age when it happens. The dropoff could happen sooner than expected.Damn, I figured I would get at least one comment on my Jared Allen pick...sure he is older, but he is still probably the 2nd or 3rd best DE in the league right now.

Good pick. His versatility is a huge plus. I almost picked him at 5.8 but felt like I needed to get a good LT. My plan was to play him as FS in the base and move him to outside corner outside of base personnel.
