Goose seems to know something about Hawthorne that most don't.

I bow to Goose. Hoffman is a real good sleeper. Great size (6-4/285) and experience in the 3-4 system. He played some nose too. I think he finished top 5 in tackling among DL in the ACC. If we want someone to take 5-10 snaps a game and give Spears/Ellis a rest, he'd be a good fit in the 6th or 7th. Steady professional and we really only have Kenyon Coleman backing up. Blue collar guy.

McMillan seems more like an undrafted type and I would think we could get him pretty easily. Doesn't seem much different than Kalen.

We still need another NT in my eyes. Just not much out there.

Hill was drafted late 3rd.

I'm a huge fan of Cole. Reminds me of Joey Porter. I'm surprised, no Jonathan Goddard.

Lance Mitchell would be awesome -- Boomer Grigsby too -- but it looks like they would be a backup at this point. I'm kind satisfied with Fowler, Shanle, and Bradie James in that role.

1. Sean Considine Iowa
2. Marviel Underwood San Diego State

No Brandon Browner? He looks like the best cover FS/CB prospect at this point. I'm beginning to think we won't be getting a FS through the draft.

Considine seems like a Parcells type. Smart, maximum effort guy.

Would love to see Shazor backing up Roy too. Thoughts of David Fulcher are running through my head with him.

Maybe Vincent Fuller. At the very least he'd be a fantastic special teamer (not a joke).
