Stephen Paea at 40?

[TheFinisher]

Because of his knee injury there has been talk that Paea could slip all the way to our 2nd Round pick. He's a big time talent and a tremendous value at that point, I have a hard time seeing us passing on him if he's there.

if he's healthy and
if the coaches plan to move Ratliff to DE (just looked at a roster on NFL.com that already did that) and
if he's available

I would applaud that pick

looks like Ratliff is at NT to me

I really love Paea but I think he's a 43 3 technique.

I don't see any reason why he couldn't play NT in a 3-4, his game is controlling the LOS.

Well, he's 6'1 303 lbs. and I don't believe he is going to get a lot bigger or stronger. He is very strong now but that frame, IMO, is not going to hold a great deal more. His biggest strength is quickness. In a 3-4 like Phillips', he is probably ideal. However, in a traditional 34, which is what Ryan will play more of, his job is going to be one of eating blocks. I just don't think he will hold up in that role.

I prefer Kendrick Ellis unless Phil Taylor falls to #40.

Yes
Taylor at 40
Ellis at 71
Williams in the 4th
or Nield in the 5th

we can find a run stuffing NT in this draft.

Piea is a good play but isn't bug enough to be a effective 2 gap NT and isn't tall or long enough to be a 5 tech 3-4 DE. he is either a one gap or 3 tech DT.

Marvin Austin is an interesting player. If not for the baggage, he would probably be a 1st round pick.

he would be for a 4-3 team

 

[AmericasTeam2011]

Are you thinking of Paea as a DE or to rotate in at NT? He's a little undersized for NT, but his strength really makes up for it.

 

[TheDallasDon]

Depends on who's the first pick,

Also like Phil Taylor and Kenrick Ellis

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Yeah, he would be a heck of a 43 DT.

 

[xwalker]

Your "Logan's Draft" would be great; however, I think Ellis could go as early as mid 2nd round and I would be shocked if he lasted past the 3rd.
.
I like all of the other picks.

With his character concerns and his weight issues, I don't see him going in the 2nd but it only takes 1 team to like u there so anything is possible.

I just see him falling to the 4th just my opinion

you didn't look at the roster like I said

 

[xwalker]

Are you saying that a roster on a website in April determines what position a player plays in the fall?

 

[supercowboy8]

you didn't look at the roster like I said

whats the difference in a roster and depth chart. He they have him at NT on the depth chart then thats where he is playing.

NT, I don't really have a concern with his size because judging by film he does an excellent job of holding his ground against double teams. It's easy to look at his height/weight and write him off but his play on the field says otherwise.

 

[SDogo]

yeah, no

Love the player but a horrible fit at NT or DE for a 3-4 team.
