Although, I do think Jesse Williams is a bit over-rated. 37 tackles, only 7 solo, only 2.5 TFL's, and only 1 sack in 13 games is pretty weak.

Kawann Short out of Purdue had 43 tackles, 35 solo, 15.5 TFL's, and 7 sacks. I know he played in a shit conference compared to Williams in the SEC, but the guy still showed he knows how to penetrate AND tackle either way you slice it. He SHOULD be there at the 60th's pick in late 2nd round too.

Now if we got a 3rd round comp pick and did this, I'd be happy:
1. DE Okafor
2. DT Short
3a. RB Kenjon Barner
3b. TE Kelce

I actually meant Brandon Williams. The big tackle out of SMSU.

When I put 3/4 I meant a combination of either or those spots being interchangeable. I actually would prefer Christine over Kenjon. He is a tougher runner without being huge and sacrificing speed burst and agility. I think I also like Bell. We real need an all around back who can be a spark plug in our offense. He doesn't need to carry it. Just be dangerous in it. To do that he has to be a back you can field on all downs. I'm not sure Barner is that back. For me guys like Christine and Bernard fit that bill more. Problem is we have to go DEnd. If we traded back and picked up a high 2nd and say a 4th rounder I'd probably be happier with the players I suggested as there would be an extra pick letting us go

DE RB in 2a and 2b
3 DE/DT

Then we would still have 3 more picks.
A comp pick in 3rd or 4th for Lofton
4th rounder as allocated
4th rounder from trading back.

Right there that could be a TE a Linebacker and a pick at corner or safety.

If Bernard is there at 30 do you take him?
