Draft: Best available player or...

[JawnyBlaze]

Kearse or Cole are very likely to start at NT if we take one in the draft.

I'm sorry but the thought of Kearse or Cole starting over Star or Hankins is absolutely preposterous.

Guys who were absolute studs in college get routinely abused by journeymen NFL linemen until they learn to use their hands and feet. Guys who dominated in college rarely use more than one or two moves and often are technically lazy given they rely on their physical skills instead of their technique. Both those guys might be stars in a few years, but as rookies they will have to work hard just to hold their own.

The odds say you are right. Success rate of DT in the top ten is still way less than 50%. I don't want a lineman in the 1st round anywho. I only claim one objective. BAR. Best Athlete Remaining.

athlete needs to have skill to go along with athleticism and physicality.

G-dizzle? Seriously?

What do you call an athlete with a work ethic? Dangerous. All things considered equal. I'll go with the best Athlete.

BPA from OL, DL, DB in the first two rounds. Then target remaining needs.
