2013 Comprehensive NFL Draft Database

McDonald plays in the box and around the LoS a lot. He does a lot of blitzing. That's where he seems to make a lot of his plays. I'd play him at SS to take advantage of this.

[wilco_holland]

I I'd take him over any safety we have on the roster right now, but I don't think he's a big difference maker.[COLOR="Gold"]

We can´t get a lot worse...so you could probally say that about any player

[DC9]

Where did I say I didnt like Wort?

He's not on your list.

[Laron Burgundy]

I know there is a lot of love for Ansah, but where do we play him? I'm probably as enamored as anyone else, but I just don't know where he fits in our d. SD went after Larry English in 2009 despite having Phillips and being unsure of Merriman then. Now, English didn't turn out, but perhaps it is wise to invest in a rush linebacker when one of yours goes down with an injury, especially because we are in the exact same situation. Merriman had a knee injury in 2008, English drafted in 2009, Merriman became a free agent in 2010; likewise for us Orakpo has a chest injury 2012, Ansah could be drafted in 2013 and Orakpo would be a free agent in 2014. Might be prudent, and if Mario can play olb in a 3-4, I'm guessing Ansah could as well.

Gotta say I've been a big fan of Van Noy on that defense as well. Perhaps only as a rush specialist though I'd like to see what he could do as an ilb. He's a hitter, definitely has short area burst, and he actually covers quite often as an olb for BYU, but if he could make that transition to ilb I think he could be a real pass rushing threat from there as well; and that is something we don't have at that position. I don't know if he comes out this year but if he does he gives us our Timmons, if we're looking for comparable players to the Steelers d.

Ansah is a DE where you can move him around OLB/DT. He's an athletic freak that could turn into a complete offense nightmare.

[Dukes and Skins]

He's not on your list.

And what list are you looking exactly? Because no where did I make a list except for CB's and S's in the last 2 pages

Ok well maybe we can get a Sam Shields/Talib CB combo with Mundy from the Steelers to play safety. Draft Ansah/BYU DE in the second and draft Rambo in the 3rd. That puts playmakers all in our defensive backfield.

Ansah is going round 1 you can book on that

My mistake, I got you mixed up with stevemqueen.

[Dukes and Skins]

Ideally if we can get Darren Perry as our DC I would look to add Talib still at a modest deal, along with Ryan Mundy at FS. Get those 2 and add Matt Elam at SS in round 2. and OT in round 3 and a slot CB in round 4 and I'll be feeling very good about this D

We'll see. I hope you're wrong but he is worth a 1st round. Sheldon Richardson is a guy too.

Sheldon is a guy I'd kill to have a 3-4 DE. 57 tackles as a DT this year is impressive like no other

Yeah I'm hoping we get DBs in FA and Sheldon or Ansah drops to our pick and we get one of them.

[Dukes and Skins]

I'd prefer a Talib/Mundy FA and then Sheldon in Round 2.

[GWinSkins83]

Yeah that's some good addition but wish Ansah is there he has better potential than Richardson.

Under the assumption that Ansah isn't there. There really isn't another DT I'd take over Richardson in round 2

And honestly I dont think the difference between DJ Swearinger and Matt Elam is that much. Swearinger is a 4th round S, but he's a very good SS in the NFL IMO

Do you think of Mundy as more of a deep safety or in the box guy? I think of Elam as a pure in the box safety that's best near the LoS, but I think of Mundy the same way. I'd look for us to find a deep safety to compliment either Mundy or Elam.
