and Bowers runs a 4.4 40 standing at 6 foot 5 275 lbs, throws up 225 30 times, and jumps like a cb...Ill be foaming at the mouth for this kid. And if i recall I liked him better then Luck and posted a poll about it 4 weeks ago. If we take Newton it will be the story of VY compared to Mario Williams...Sign Palmer when he gets cut...Taking Bowers and franchising Johnson, along with Hardy and Brown...Sign a some beef up the middle, Thomas Davis comes back...Now your looking at arguably the best Dline and line backing core in football. Palmer although in consistent can get the ball out to Gettis deep, and make all the throws for our style of offense.

And wht Dt would you like to take NUMBER 1 overall? That would be by far the worst choice for the franchise EVER! Unless its Suh potential I dont want it unless its the 2nd round or lower...Never pay aDT that kind of money.

Nick Fairley is ranked just below Bowers on most draft boards and has the chance to pass him with a good showing in the championship I suspect.

I really hope Palmer isn't integral to that theory of yours because that isn't happening.

Why sign someone to 'beef up' the middle when you can just draft the player? Our ends are already the strength of the line.

our end, singular, is the strength of the line.

from Vernon Gholston's combine profile:

Gholston has a relentless motor in pursuit. If he had more on-field experience, he could be an outstanding linebacker at the next level. However, with teams looking for hybrid Cover-2 pass rushers, he is perfectly capable of impacting the backfield coming off the edge or dropping back into the zone to cover vs. the pass. He is still a raw talent that gets by on his athletic ability, but in a few years, with patient coaching and more experience, he has the potential to change the game, much like Abraham, Dwight Freeney (Indianapolis) and Jason Taylor (Miami) have done playing in that role.

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
