It would definitely seem that Wade likes Siavii

[Woods]

NT Junior Siavii (sp?).

Wade hinted at this over the past couple of months.

Unless we're trading for a NT, I think Siavii is the front-runner.

EDIT: As a back-up NT to J Ratliff.

To back-up Jay Ratliff?

Yes, as a back-up.

(I should have made that clearer.)

There must be a plan for the entire DL. We really didn't address that today which surprised me a little. Living in Chief territory I've seen Siavii first hand his entire career. I'm not sold at all.

Unless there is a trade, I'd have to guess we're going status quo with what's on our roster.

I think we will use more of a rotation on the DL next season. I don't think Rat will switch positions, but I think you will see him at end some. I think with Igor and Siavii backing up on DL, in addition to those returning, we have more than adequate depth and skill. Though adding a guy through free agency would seem to almost be a certainty, just for injury depth.

Wade does like him, but don't forget Tim Anderson just in case Siavii disappoints.

It can take a guy (especially NTs) time to develop and Siavii was known to have some maturity issues.

Some guys don't have what it takes to be starters, but can still make some plays when they are used in specific situations or sub packages. I wouldn't want him as a starter either, but behind Rat he can go all out a handful of plays a game.
