This is why Mayock is so awesome.

I mean, who could look at this draft and be able to notice that it has strong interior defensive line depth?

That's why he is paid the big bucks.

I think Hogan is the guy I would want to groom at QB and DT is really deep this draft. We better get at least one.

More impressive nuggets from the finest draft evaluator in the land.

I won't be mad if we trade down and drafted 2 DTs back to back like the Panthers.

Hogan supposedly has been showing some signs of making a run out of the pack of second tier players.

Per Tony Pauline:

It's usually this time of the year when people get a sense on the quarterbacks who may be rising up draft boards. The scouting community has pegged Kevin Hogan as the guy in 2016. Despite a somewhat erratic college career, he impressed several teams during the Senior Bowl with his arm strength and pass velocity. One criticism teams have of Hogan was his long wind-up. However, they may be pleasantly surprised when the Stanford senior works out at the Combine.

Since the Senior Bowl, Hogan has been working with John Ramsdell, a veteran NFL coach of 19 years whose student roster includes Kurt Warner, Philip Rivers and Cam Newton. Word circulating is Ramsdell has really helped Hogan shorten his throwing motion and the end result has been a hastened release and better velocity on passes. Teams believe Hogan has a great upside and will be a better pro passer than college thrower. A good throwing workout on Saturday will further improve his draft stock, which is seemingly on the rise.

That even more than edge rusher is what I want.

That makes our line 100% better than drafting an edge player. Interior disruption is something we have missed since Ratliff was sane.

But again, it goes back to how much we just love Crawford (I am not that impressed honestly) and hate nose tackles.

You look at the sheer depth at the position in this draft and it is like being in a candy store.

hopefully Rod sees the same and we get at least one DT before the 5th round.
