Whaley
Okoye
Gardner
Coleman
Holloman


having said that..

it is really going to be interesting who our first draft pick will be.

if Murray leaves....go after Gordon or Gurley.

if not ..then we need to draft a true impact player on defense..

looks like Buckner is staying...damn.

Okoye is the most fasinating player in the bunch, the guy must have a heart the size of a basketball to overcome what he has.
If he is ever 100% healthy theres no telling what he can do.

Only name that intrigues me there is Gardner.

He looked like a veteran NFL DE in college to me. Good size, exceptionally strong at the point of attack and has a strange knack for slipping past linemen and shedding blockers. He's incredibly aware as well, sniffing out screens and maintaining outside contain when necessary.

I think he'll be a very good player for us.

Always been intrigued by Gardner. Hes not going to be a savior by any means, and most likely isn't going to be a great pass rusher due to some physical limitations. That said though he seems to be a Marinelli type of guy. High motor, reputation of an overachiever, and profiles well as a good run stuffing DE.

Personally, I believe if McClain stays in the middle and we move Lee outside, it will help his health and this football team going forward.

i agree.

i'm a little worried about ro going forward though.

i'm also a little tired of carter not hustling.

Think McClain, Hitchens, Lee, Carter, Durant. I don't think you could get a better 5 rotation than that in the league. Durant was balling before his injury, Lee is without a doubt a top LB when healthy, McClain showed he can be a admirable MLB and Hitchens is only going to improve. As far as Carter goes, I think he will be fine once asked to fill one hole, instead of playing all LB positions. Which he has had to do since day 1 in Dallas.

Hope you're right. Interests me as well.

Durant was definitely balling out there....i mean really balling.

dude was making plays all over the field.

Ro was my favorite player on defense this year till certain things happened ...like house burning down and missing practice every damn week.

not sure how i feel about
Ro.
