I want sherff or shelton. Neither are sexy picks, but we don't need sexy right now. OBJ was the sexy pick last year. Now, we need a boring and ugly pick. The last few years, we have not been able to stop the run or establish the run. To me, the WRs are the best players in the draft, but either sherf, who is a nasty player or Shelton, who is a game changing DT would make others better around them.
If we draft Scherf:
Mauler, physical, nasty lineman.
Help out with the run game which leads to more productive PA.
Eli can have more time in the pocket
line is set for the next 3 years
If we draft shelton:
We can put teams in third and long situations more often
match up with dallas and eagles Olines
Also get after the qb.
Either way, we still need big time help in the trenches. The picks are boring but the production of the unit will improve tremendously. I really think we need that more than anything else.
as for the second round, i am sure we could get a good wr or a stud MLB like denzel perriman.
Claims that Shelton can get to the QB in the NFL are disingenuous.
You want to waste the #9 on a redundancy in 2015 - take Shelton.

You could probably say the same about White and Cooper vs Randle.
All of this is suppositon. Every year some of the xant miss guys fall off and other guys kot nearly as touted show up.
I do t want Shelton as IMO as he playes the exact postion that
hankins playes. Even a WR whom I think is superfluous at 9 is a better choice.
Most of these players grades most likely So similar it's really down to need and fit. And saying the OL isn't the biggest need when there isn't a single guy on the whole offensive line that will even sniff the probowl in the next few years OL may be the best pick even if some of the other players are rated slightly higher
I keep praying Beasley slides but it's doubtful. the only group more aversge or worse is linebacker and he could be used in a lot of wAys.
Factor in the historically high bust rate in the top 15 for DTs, and the belief he's better suited to 3-4 NT, and I just don't see them drafting Shelton.
I had these similar exchanges a year ago regarding Donald, and never heard his name once in the back channels. Same this year, nothing on Shelton.
I think LinJo was more similar to Hankins than a Kelly, no?
Your 1-tech is shading the shoulder of his OL, trying to beat him and split the gap to reach the QB. He's the quicker DT, more athletic, the penetrator.

3-tech is a "bigger dude" than the 1?
The 4-3 Under front, discussed in our article on Hybrid defenses, was designed to isolate the weak side guard 1-on-1 with the 3-technique (or under) tackle. This player’s job is to penetrate the line of scrimmage through his B-gap and disrupt plays in the backfield, whether pass or run. Unlike the first two tackle positions, the 3-technique relies far more on speed and agility than brute strength.
You mean taller? He's not heavier usually. That 1-tech is the heavy set player whose first step is up rather than the 3-tech which is forward. That's kinda why I'm curious is Ellis was really signed as depth for Hankins with Bromley, Jenkins and Kuhn (until somebody else is drafted) at #3.

LJ was a 1-tech. Not a 3. The 1-tech is usually the slower. You have it backwards.
