I say we go for Amobi Okoye in the 2nd. Good NT prospect.
Actually, you've got no idea if Holliday will be back or not.
Who cares about Keith Traylor? Opposing offensive linemen. When he was well rested and healthy he was a dominating Nose Tackle. We dont have anyone to replace him. We dont have anyone who can even effectively play the position.
Because no one knows what the hell Rodrique Wright is going to amount to. Some people thought he was a 1st round pick, but the reality of the matter was he ended up being a 7th round pick and there are a bunch of reasons why swirling around.
Besides Matt Roth, every one of our "big" defensive linemen who have ever played a down in the regular season are either going to be 34+ years old, a FA this offseason, or both.
Keith Traylor will retire.
Kevin Carter might consider retirement.
Vonnie Holliday is a FA and looking to cash in.
Jeff Zgonina is a FA and 36 years old.
David Bowens, who is not a "big" DL but is also a FA.
Besides Jason Taylor and Matt Roth, that is our entire DL rotation.
Do you really think it's a stellar idea to use a bunch of 7th round picks to fill those spots?
If Evans, Vickerson, Wright, and Roth are all worthless and unable to step in next year if we lose a couple of our older DL, then Saban should be fired immediately, because he will have done jacks*** to build for the future.
I don't think that's the case. I think we try to keep Holliday and insert the younger guys. I don't know if any of them are pro bowlers, but I think they will be able to step up and keep the DL playing at a high enough level.
We need help on offense at all positions (minus RB), and maybe a CB if there are no other options.
I understand that we are a bit old at DT, but this offense has SO many holes. Picking DL #1 next year would be like Wanny picking Fletcher when he had holes at about every offensive position. He if does go DL, he better hope he finds the next Reggie White.
Agreed,We got alot of holes on Offense.We need a Playmaker at WR,LT, even a QB maybe.Depending on free agentcy,If we use our first round pick on Defense,Im going to be Very dissapointed.
