Talking about prospect age- FAU is actually 3 months younger than ONL. Pretty interesting considering FAU already has two years NFL experience and ONL is just getting started. [Reply]

Milton Williams just made how much money again, and he didn’t even play 50% of Philly’s snaps last year
I love taking a guy with pass rush juice. Can’t have enough of that. CB depth and lack of a four-man pass rush was a brutal thing last year in conjunction, this year I think it’s fixed. [Reply]

And despite those short comings, the defense was still really good for the most part.
Getting pressure with just 4 will unlock this D full potential and help the itch turnovers , with George/Chris/ONL/Gillotte/ Omenihu we should be able to find a combination that works. [Reply]
Not dinging ONL at all.... but I'm convinced that we were all ready to take Shemar Turner from A&M in the 2nd, and then the Bears snagged him right before we were on the clock.
If you recall, we were on the clock for the entire length of the time (felt like even longer), which made me think we were either A) sitting there discussing which player to choose, which means they did not immediately have ONL tee'd up as "the guy", or B) entertaining trade back options OR actively shopping to get it done.... ultimately failing to do so and settling for ONL.
Then, both in the Day 2 presser and in Nutt's presser yesterday, they alluded to the fact that there was a fall-off after ONL at the position. Which sort of indirectly says "he was the last guy we had ranked at that tier for that position group." Which further implies the guys before him were ranked above him...
In R2, the DT's that went were: Sanders (41), Collins (43), then Turner (62) and ONL at 63.
I wonder how much of a gap in grade they had between Turner and ONL. It will be interesting to compare Turner to ONL and see how it plays out over the next couple years. [Reply]

I was thinking the same thing. I bet they were zeroed in on Turner. They used every bit of their time allotted and the reaction in the draft room seemed less than thrilled. [Reply]

What are you even basing this on? The draft room looks exactly the same after every pick.
It's one thing to assume they might've possibly taken/preferred Turner, which we can't know for sure either way based on what we know (even including Nutt's comments). It's another to pretend they were upset or displeased. Total nonsense, but not surprising at all, considering it's you.
Did Cullen appear "less than thrilled" when he told him on the call "I told you when you were here. I told you when you were here it was going to happen"? [Reply]
This is definitely where they were sold on the kid. The attributes that lead to leading the DT class in pass rush win rate in the SEC were on full display here.
Utilizing arm length, strength to bull rush, hand technique for rush move, speed-to-power and that fast as hell first step.
