I think they can get Starks to gain 5 pounds and switch him to NT and have Odrick and Langford at End and are line will be sick
Odrick!

I like this pick. I just watched some film of Odrick, and like R and R says - he is a beast that will be moved around depending upon the situation. I think this front office is doing a great job - we have gone from 1-15 to what we are today - a tough, hard-nosed football team that is just a few players and time away from the promised land - I have faith in this front office. Now get us some meat in the middle, an edge rusher, and an athletic tight end to open up the outside for B Marsh and we can begin to overtake the Pats and the girls that wear green..

U cry about the $$$, we do the dirtywork
This was the plan all along IMO.....remember Ireland saying "sometimes it's good to build on your strengths"
Hughes was never going to be the pick i don't think. IMO Wake will be the wolb, which is where hughes would have played.
Im thinking rd. 2 will be OLB and Major Wright in the 3rd???

Oldrick was on a number of jest mocks too; maybe the decision was a combination of BPA and Jest keep-away. I'm sure this was Nolan's call, or at least required his seal of approval so while I'd rather have seen Hughes, or us keeping the 12 and taking Earl Thomas, at this point, you gotta have some faith in our accomplished new DC.

I love pick, I loved the way he performed at Senior Bowl. Just to prove to you guys I thought the Fins would take him I had to pull out the old thread I started on Odrick. Jared is gonna make alot of Fin fans very happy. Guy was eating Iupati for lunch during senoir bowl week.
Like it don't love it. Not really a need, but is probably the best player available. Odrick is a very good player though. No reason to be mad about the pick.

Been my prediction for a while now. My only problem with the pick though is that either Odrick or Starks better be playing NT, or else this is a wasted pick.
DE: Langford
NT: Starks/Odrick
DE: Odrick/Starks
SOLB: Merling
SILB: Crowder
WILB: Dansby
WOLB: Wake
That's the only way this pick makes sense.

this sounds like philip merling 2.0. good player, bpa, blah blah blah. this guy better show us something better than just being a "good" player considering we had our choice of earl thomas, graham, or derrick morgan at 12 and then jerry hughes was sitting there at 28. number 40 will be huuuuge now. i would have been much happier with hughes (even kindle)/cody with our first two picks then taking a de/?? I pray to god odrick you make me eat crow and you turn into something great because im tired of being let down by our drafts year after year.

Exactly.
I was just about to post about Nolan.
I'm still a bit mixed on the pick but when we have Nolan in here planning out our depth chart you just have to have confidence in what they are doing.
Like someone pointed out just before, Hughes would have been a WOLB where Wake presumably would fall into place.
I have all the faith in our new DC/FO and while I may not be the biggest fan of the selection, they certainly have some big plans stuffed up their sleeves.
This guy better be the 2nd coming of Bob Baumhower.
