We're not drafting a DT on day one


Recommended Posts

I have a question about Terdell Sands v. Ian Scott. Everyone seems to be blowin their load to get Scott, but I don't see the fascination with him. Is it because he plays for the Bears? I know "stats don't tell everything," but look at them in comparison:

 

Sands:

 

TOT SOLO AST SACK INT FF

2006 41 30 11 1.0 1 0

 

Scott:

 

TOT SOLO AST SACK INT FF

2006 23 16 7 0.0 0 1

 

Sands is 27 yo and weighs 335 lbs and Scott is 25 yo and weighs 302.

 

Could it be that people don't think Marv will go after a wide-body (Sands) and would want someone that would fit more into the Tampa 2 (Scott)?

 

 

Sands has more upside. Scott is the safer choice, plus he already is playing in the Tampa-2 system.

And, as others mentioned, we're not sure the Bills would be interested in a Sands-type.

I believe Marv will do the right thing. I don't want them trying to jam a square peg in a round hole as the Deadskins do. However, I don't think we can look at weight as the sole determining factor for DT eligibility. That is, we cannot say the Bills will pass on a guy who weighs 330 lbs, but will covet a 300 pounder. Afterall, the Bills made a big push for Pickett and he weighs 322 lbs.
