All these posts calling of Marv to take Huff or Davis are driving me nuts. The only player that makes sense for us at #8 (if he's still there) is Ngata. You just don't pass on a chance to get a talented monster like this.
I guess some people have forgotten what happened to the defense when Donahoe let Fat Pat walk. Well I'll remind you. Our D fell from 2nd to one of the worst in the league. I'm not blaming it all on the loss of Williams but you know darn well that had a lot to do with it.
A big, nasty DT will make our entire defense better. Every other position on D benefits when that big ol DT blows up the middle. We saw it with Fat Pat and all the NFL talking heads on Sirius are saying that Haloti is one of those rare athletic big man that doesn't come around that often. As to the argument that he won't fit the cover 2 scheme I don't buy it. Adjust the scheme if you have to (good teams teams do this all the time to get their best players on the field). Don't know why Ourlads hates the guy but they seem to be alone in their assessment. I don't know much about Ourlads but maybe someone who does can opine on their accuracy evaluating talent.
If Marv takes another 1st round 'glitz' offensive player like Davis then I'll have to wonder why Mr. Wilson even bothered to fire Ol Whitey.
OK, slam away.
