The LB transition is much harder than the RB or DE.  By LB I mean the off the ball LB not the 3/4 edge rushing guys.  I would also say C have it much harder than OT just because of the line calls they have to make.  In college, it depends on the school, some of those are made from the sidelines.

Yeah that's a good point.. I would switch LB with RB..

The thing about OT and C is.. I get C make all the line calls so they have a mental transition.. But they have help on each side of them.. OT are often left on a island having to deal with all types of pass rusher and outside blitzer... And OT usually come in having to bulk up.. So not only do they have a mental transition but a physical one .

How do Virginia Tech players translate to NFL?

what about Lehigh or Mercer players? The gamecocks put out some good NFL players too. 

Does St Johns have a football team?

I thought the transition for DTs was more difficult than that.

Then again, it could be our experience of drafting DTs before Star and Short made it seem way more difficult. But I would put DE/DT around the same area just before TE. Every once in a while you'll find a stud, but the majority take a couple years to start showing why you drafted them.

I pretty much agree.. But I do feel DE more than DT are asked to do more and the physical transition for most of them take a year.. While DT come in pretty big and physical already.. DE have to work more on Tech, pass rush moves and dropping back in passing zones more than DT ..

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
