Don't sleep on Norwood.

great thread title.

should be a great camp.

Essentially, Dave "fixed" the CB position long term. Dave is right, he didn't reach for the 3 CB's but may have passed on another player at a different position so he could draft a CB.

Dave realized he NEEDED to find long term CB's instead of signing guys like Tillman, Florence, Cason every year.

Even if Gman had kept Norman this year he was going to draft multiple CB's anyway. - Josh was going to be a 1-year rental. - Brandon Boykin is on a 1yr deal. - Bene' is coming off a broken leg. - Teddy Williams is strictly a special teams guy. - Robert McClain is a 4th corner who's gets targeted bc he's 5'9 - Lou Young and Travell Dixon are young and unproven.

Chris Jones at 62

Not according to Igo. I think we like Ogbah better.

Jeremy, care to make a prediction?

So to re-cap: Germain Ifedi was taken at 31. Options left: TE Henry DE Ogbah RB Henry WR Shepard SS Bell SS/LB Cravens

This needed a bump. And probably pinned.

Don't get me wrong, I was disappointed we couldn't come to compromise in negotiations and figure something out. I tell you I was shocked we let Josh go. This was a brass balls move by Gman that tells everyone, I will do what is best for the long term future of my team. We've won without Steve Smith, we've won without DeAngelo Williams, we've won without Greg Hardy, we've won without KB, and now we will win without Josh Norman.

We run a basic zone defense that does not necessarily need great corners to function at a high rate. This is the reason why Gman offered Josh $11 million and not the $16 million he was asking for. $11 million is how much Gman thought Josh was worth. Yes this move weakens our team in the short run but with the tremendous cap savings, it sets us up very nicely for the future.

The thought of drafting hunter Henry in 1st and Shepard in 2nd gets me very excited...... sexually.

The best and highly rated football Player of those four is Vernon Butler. NFL.com is comparing him to Muhammad Wilkerson. If not for the tremendous DT depth this year, he would be a top 15 pick any other year. I find it hard to believe he gets past the BJ Raji-less Packers but if he's there at 30, we take him.

Very nice

nice

Good stuff

Sterling Shepard is this year's Philip Dorsett. Will most certainly get over-drafted.

A comparison by NFL.com's Lance Zierlein: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/derrick-henry?id=2555221 Derrick Henry: rated 6.15 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/hunter-henry?id=2555341 Hunter Henry: rated 6.27 and compared to Jason Witten

Excellent post Jeremy. I firmly believe both players will be there at 30. Now, Maxx Williams went to Ravens last year at #55 and Hunter is a better prospect. Gman will have to decide, basically whoever he has a higher grade on will be the pick. Probably Derrick Henry since he knows there is a better chance of Hunter being available in round 2.

Horrible

Hunter Henry was also my early prediction at #30. It just makes so much sense. He would be an upgrade over Ed Dickson, eventual replacement for Greg Olsen, another weapon for Cam, and another chess piece for Mike Shula. There is an excellent chance he will be there at 30. Maybe the Packers would select him before us but not likely given their D-line needs.
