I think it's easier to find 3s that can play the zero rather than vice versa. Too much worry about "true nose tackles" when it just isn't a concern. We've got several guys that can line up over the nose, but we don't play that exclusively, anyway. Need big guys who can shoot gaps more.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Well, that he can do.

 

How he'll hold up against the run is my concern.

Yes we needed a safety and a WR and either would have seen substantial playing time if not start. This guy is only going to play on 3rd downs if ever

Which safety and WR would have seen substantial playing time?

 

If ever? You think he may never play at all? And we should take your opinion seriously?

4/27/16: Washington turned in an excellent regular season and looked like an early round talent with his combination of size and quickness on the defensive line. However following his impressive season, he landed an arrest for solicitation. Sources say that by the time of the 2016 NFL Draft they don't think it will be a big factor, and to reinforce that view, the charges against him were dropped. In speaking with teams, Washington is being projected to Day 2.

Washington had an impressive week at the Senior Bowl. He used his speed and power to dominate the first practice. In the following days he was good, but not as great. Still, Washington looked like a late first-round talent in Mobile.

Ehh, there are only so many balls to go around on Offense with Sammy, Clay, Woods, McCoy, Karlos. A rookie #2 is a rotational player at best.

I wish we would've draft offense with this pick. We get all these defensive players and Rex still won't know how to use all this talent. If we didn't hire Rex last year, we wouldn't even be drafting defense lineman this year. Mike Pettine got better outcome out of our front seven than Rex. Wish we would've draft WR or offensive tackle.

He is? What did he do last year? He seems to have had his best numbers as a #3 slot receiver. Our offense looked a lot more explosive when Harvin was healthy for a short time.

Played with a groin injury all year basically. Woods hgas been serviceable

A little off topic...But I think we just said goodbye Connor Cook, Dak Prescott, and Cardale Jones...We'll see if I'm right...But I doubt any of those 3 will be there when #139 comes around... B-)

This draft has honestly been weird for every team. It really does look like most teams are planning on no one having a good qb for a long time. Other than the obvious to picks. One might fall to the 5th. I don't count on it but it could happen.

It's not about a #2. We need a burner. Our offense was very different with Harvin out there

Exactly. I've been crying about needing a number two, but you said it far better. We need another threat at the WR position. No one is afraid of Bob Woods. We only have one playmaker at that position. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5
