2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7

[Alvin Walton]

I liked the draft overall with the exception of addressing the offensive line, particularly finding a replacement for Rabach.

This wasnt a particularly strong draft for Oline outside a couple tackles, couple guards/center. SS has said we got a couple guys targeted all ready in free agency.

My only disappointment with this draft was no NT choice. This draft offered a variety of options with the NT position and we walk away with no choices. Every different type of sizes, styles, etc. and we got zero. Kemo is done. I like keeping Bryant under contract and in the rotation, but we desperately need someone in there to help. Hopefully free agency can yeild us someone.

Neild is our [backup] NT choice.

Well, the fella was a captain on on his college team and we have a bunch of dead weight just waiting to be jettisoned(Haynesworth and Kemo). I say that he's got the mental makeup and the team has (or SHOULD have) the space for him.

Does nobody like A. BRYANT? He ws a beast the last 2 games he played last year... With Jenkins on one side, and now Kerrigan. I think our defense will improve greatly.

I like Bryant ok. He had some good moments last year.

But he is an average NT. Not bad but not great. And the 3-4 begins with the NT. An average NT results in many ways in an average defense.

What we really need is a rotation with Bryant and then another truly good player.

Good insight about the NT. To be fair, starting quality NT's were lacking in this class. More than any other FA, I would like us to sign Aubrayo Franklin to solidify the NT position.

If we go into the season with Bryant and Neild as our NT's, it is going to be another long season for our defense.

Starting NT in the draft are very tough to come by in general. But the position had decent depth this year. Franklin wants to get paid big time, i personally dont think he is worth it. But at the same time we have cleared a sh*t ton of cap space, so at a good deal, id give him a shot
