I absolutely love Roquan Smith for ILB and if we trade down we could totally get him.

Rashaan Evans in our #2 spot would also be a great pickup there.

You think Evans will last that long? I'd be happy with he or Vander Esch at 36. That said, I doubt either lasts that far.

The reasons I don't think he's worth open market left tackle money are the Cheaters' OL coach is very good and known for turning projects into productive players while under him, Solder was a brutally awful pass blocker before coming into the league (and he's not exactly been elite at it since entering the league), and he's going into his age 30 season. That's not a guy I want the Colts handing 4/$60 to, and that's likely what it would take to get him.

Looks like your old man crush might be hitting the open market again:

Dolphins releasing Suh 'under consideration'
One NFL official told the Miami Herald the Dolphins releasing DT Ndamukong Suh remains "under consideration."
The source reportedly didn't say whether the move is likely or unlikely, merely that it's being considered. The Herald reported in February Suh would likely be designated as a post-June 1 release if cut, which would save the Fins $17 million under the salary cap. $8.5 million of Suh's $17 million salary becomes guaranteed on March 19. Suh turned 31 in January and hasn't missed a game since 2011. He would be an extremely hot commodity on the open market.

Ballard won't do it because he's 31, but I'd at least kick the tires. Still a good player and won't command nearly as large of a contract.

Roquan Smith would have to fight through a block before I'd be okay taking him with a top 15 pick. Don't get me wrong, he's fast, has great instincts, is great in coverage, and makes plays, but you can say that about Evans, Jefferson, and Vander Esch as well, and they also fight through blocks. Give me Chubb and Vander Esch over Smith and Landry every time.

Latest mocks I've seen have both going towards the end of round 1, but maybe one slips.

There are ALWAYS guys whom the pundints say are "1st round talent" that don't get picked during the first day. Always....

I don't know if any of them are linebackers this year but there will be plenty of guys whom teams think are 1st round guys who slip into the top half of the 2nd round.

I hope we get 2 impact guys from this year's draft. Chubb and a Linebacker or O-Lineman would be my hope but I just hope that 36th slot is a for real guy.

Walk Worthy,

Walk Worthy,

Leighton Vander Esch to the Steelers makes too much sense to not happen, despite my sincerest hopes that it doesn't. Then the Cheaters and Eagles both need LBs. I am also hoping that the Colts use this draft wisely, the positioning of the picks is almost like having a round higher pick every time. Hopefully Ballard makes good use of it and we won't see another draft with this type of positioning for over a decade.

As Dam said, problem is need. A lot of teams at the end of Rd 1 need a LB.

Trumaine Johnson will for sure be a FA. Rams have Peters and Talib now. Do we want him?

Vinny Curry has been released by the Eagles. Apparently had a good year on the edge but it didn't show in his stats. I have no idea on him.

Lots of movement in the NFL right now.
