Tunis69 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Who do you think would be the best fit for the Bills as a nose tackle? Below is what Draft Ace had to say about the top NT prospects. I'm hoping we can get a LT with our first pick and maybe, hopefully, we can get one of these guys in the 2nd round. any thoughts on who would be the best fit for us? 1. Dan Williams, Tennessee At 6′2″, 327 pounds there’s no question that Williams has the size to play nose tackle. What makes him the top prospect at the position, though, is his athleticism. Most nose tackles earn their living just by eating up space, but a select few have the ability to get into the backfield and make plays. Shaun Rogers may be the best example among active nose tackles, and Williams could certainly have a similar impact at the next level. 2. Terrence Cody, Alabama Cody’s stock is on the rise and the more weight he loses the higher his stock will climb. He isn’t the type that will make plays in the backfield with consistency, but he can take on two or three blockers at a time. He lacks the athleticism to be a truly elite nose tackle but he can make an instant impact anchoring a defensive line. 3. Cam Thomas, North Carolina Thomas was overshadowed by Marvin Austin at North Carolina, but he’s starting to get the attention he deserves. At 6′4″, 331 pounds he has the size to fit right at nose tackle in the NFL. He struggled to make an impact at times in UNC’s traditional 4-3 defense due to his lack of athleticism, but he should flourish in a 3-4 scheme at the next level.

Cody in round 2 is better value than williams in round one . That said, dispite the reports that have Cody slipping to the Mid second round I just can't see that happening. With more then half of the teams playing 3/4 nt is a very hard position to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Don't know much about Cam Thomas, but just from what I've read I get, perhaps unfairly, a feeling that he could be a bigger McCargo. Maybe it's just the NC connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
