I though all along that if Starks was allowed to walk then we could easily kick Odrick inside to replace him. But now that starks has been tagged I think our best bet would be to see if we can find an interested team that runs a 3-4 and maybe we can get a 3rd-5th round pick for odrick. Then we can maybe sign a true 4-3 DE or draft one like dion jordan or something. What u guys think?
 
I think they will just leave him at 4-3 DE where he was last year and look to add a 3rd down pass rush specialist. He will probably kick inside on passing downs as well. Thats what I would do. Starks and Big Paul are both going to be FA next year as of now so keeping Odrick around is pretty important IMO.
 
If somehow we could get Dion Jordan or Mingo I'm all for it, but I don't think it will happen. Furthermore, I don't understand why some ppl want Werner at 12 when his skill set is exetremely similiar to Odrick's. But if Odrick loses all that weight, he may become a little more explosive.
 
No, tagging Starks means that the team wants to keep the strong defensive line together. We had one of the top front fours in the league last year, why break up a good thing? I think we need to add another player to the mix not take one away.
 
I would shop Big Paul for a 2013 second- and a 2014 third-rounder. He's at his max potential value and a FA next season. Someone like Minny would pull the trigger, I bet.

If we don't, it raises certain questions for me about the FO's faith in Odrick.
 
i seriously doubt you'd get that kind of compensation for paul solia...more likely a single 3rd rounder...not even sure you'd get a 2...

doesn't offer enough pass rush and isn't thought of as on the vince wilfork level around the league...

we need more of a pass rush coming from odricks side.
 
odrick is depth in case u lose solia and or starks next year...makes no sense to trade him right now...and you wouldn't get any real bang for your buck if you did so now anyways...if anything you'd be selling low...
 
We can't afford to throw any D-lineman away. We need DE's as it is.



I don't get why people want to trade players just to trade them... And do what? draft a middle round rookie and expect him to start or back up a one year player in Vernon?? :rolleyes2:

because he is not a true 4-3 DE and we need more pass rush coming from that side, its really not to hard to figure out.
 
He played good last year.. He seemed fine in our Defensive scheme.


We have so many holes why create more for no reason at all?
 
the most bang for miamis buck with odrick this year is put him in a rotation at de (mostly run downs and distances) and shift him inside in the nickle...and if you get an injury to solia or starks you have a step in starter and proper fit as a 43 dt...i would not ask him to lose a bunch of weight to play end...
 
HORRIBLE decision. If we add a DE he can still start at Nickel DT for Solaia. Nickel is on the field well over 50% of the game.
