Every mock under the sun has STL taking a LT. Robinson seems to be the favorite pick.

Every mock (9 out of 10) has Miami taking Zach Martin.

My questions/thoughts on the draft are....

STL still owes Jake Long 7 or 8 mil. Will they take a LT given the commitment to Long? I am thinking it would be tough with so many other needs and Sammy Watkins staring you in the face. Would they take a QB?

Will Zach Martin even be available when Miami picks? Huge drop-off after Martin and no guarantee he can play LT in the NFL.

Houston plays a 3-4 defense and has JJ Watt and Antonio Smith as their DE's. They have no decent OLB's but can JC play 3-4 OLB? Some say "no". He's 6'5 266. Seems like a tweener in a 3-4 but a solid 4-3 DE.

No clear cut #1 QB this year. Who will roll the dice? Some say Geno Smith would be #1 if he was in this years draft and he fell to 39 last year.

Ra'Shede Hageman and Stephon Tuitt 6'5 304, possible 3-4 DE. Tuitt may be a 3T.

Aaron Donald is a beast but only 6'1 280. Where does he fit? Can he be a John Randle type?

Louis Nix looks is said to be a NT but has questions about work ethic.

The rest of the top DT's seem to be 3-technique players only....

Timmy Jernigan 6'2 299, Dominique Easley

I don't see Soliai's replacement until mid rounds...

Daquan Jones 6'4 322
Daniel mcCullers 6'7 352

That's about it for NT's.

We have the playmakers, just need a QB.

I would go OL or BPA

"Louis Nix looks is said to be a NT but has questions about work ethic. "


I know why your stats are off, PFF but so are some of your quotes.
Most of the articles that I have read regarding Nix's work ethic have been positive.

Gotcha, I am not a Notre Dame fan but every time I have watched a N D
game Nix has made plays of impact. I don't think coach Kelly accepts underachievement. I would not mind if we picked him up.

Speaking of Notre Dame, most mock drafts now have Miami taking OL Zack Martin.

Reports say he is a good player and can play either T or G, but many see him moving inside.

If that is the way the Fins see Martin (as a guard) I don't think it would be wise to use that first pick on him.

If the Miami brass truly believes he can be a starting tackle, then maybe that is the way to go.
