We have our starting 3, so stop crying about picking Jones over Malcolm Brown. A Marinelli defense does not value a 1 technique whose job is to eat up blockers. So that's why you draft a CB with elite athleticism and position versatility over him. Especially when it will save us $9.1m when we cut Carr in 2016. It's that simple.

Floyd was a better prospect than Brown and we passed on him. So why is anyone surprised we passed on Brown

Where is the pass rush? i like Jones a lot. but he can't do much good without a pass rush.

Vince Wilfork....has a ring
BJ Raji........has a ring
Linval Joseph DT....has ring
Red Bryant NT....has ring
Haloti Ngata....has a ring

Get the point???????

Yeah and you may have a good point. But why argue when the def. coach has pretty much established his stance and it's not changing. For all intents and purposes, you can say Brown was off our draft board in RD 1 based on how Marinelli values the position.

Raji and Ngata were not 1techs, they were 3-4 Nose Tackles.

Red Bryant was a 4-3 DE in Seattle.

Linval Joseph is the only one that was a 4-3 1tech and he was late 2nd round pick.

We especially don't need to draft a 1T in Malcolm Brown who's going to be out of shape and gassed by the end of the 3rd quarter, as the scouting reports discussed.
