Gannt Selects With #9 Pick...

[Mage]

Have you guys read his Twitter?

I like Gantt but he has an obsession with everything DeCastro.

If you want a quality longtime winning team, You build up the trenches. Offense or Defense, it doesnt matter. Remember our Super Bowl run .. we had a good O-line and D-line

Meh

So he takes a guy who isn't even the best player available on a position we don't need. Marty Hurney should be fired on the spot if he does that.

you mean all the times we called a bomb pass when all we needed was a yard?

Why do you think we were forced to pass on many 3rd and 1s...

People want Decastro, but not Kuechly. Doesn't make sense to me.

[Panthro]

Both are overrated at #9

I am not talking about first rounders, or last season.

I am talking about for the past 8 or 9 years the only dominate DT that we have had was Jenkins. We have needed help there for years, and we all but ignored it.

Edwards, Fua, and McClain were needed, but please don't tell me you think they are top tier players.

Not yet but the number of DT's that come into the leauge and dominate their position year 1 is pretty low. I mean I can think of one in the past five years.

Agreed.

We have needed interior DL for a long time now. Seriously, nothing since Jenkins.

Gannt has had a thing for Decastro for a while, although he acknowledges the team would be better trading back. That said, if they took DeCastro at nine, I wouldn't hate it. its not a sexy pick, but DeCastro is an elite talent at guard, yes its guard so its not the same as QB, CB, DE or some other positions. But he is a guy who could lineup at guard and perform at pro-bowl level for the next decade. And remember we dumped Wharton. So I think DeCastro is a real possibility, although more likely if you trade back a few spots. But DeCastro could be gone quick, some mocks have him going in the early teens.

having dominating guards isn't really germane to winning a championship
