I'm A Supporter Of Drafting DeCastro At #14. But If We Don't Draft DeCastro I Think The Next Best Option Is Devon Still. Look For Him To Rise, I Believe He Is The Highest Rated DT This Year. Wouldn't Mind Putting The Star On Him.

40 Low 4.92

And I Think A Former Teammate Is A Better Comparison.

Now thats funny

as i was watching the clip i was thinking to myself “this reminds me of Marcus Spears when he was coming out.”

We're here to win football games. The way to do that is to tell him and to get on him at the right times. I do that when you guys (media) don't see and watch.''

What else makes a strong leader?

"You win,'' Romo said. "You're a very good leader once you win.

"That's' what we're going to do.''

Run stopping defensive ends are not very special.

true

but Rarely do you see the kind of burst off the ball that Stills was showing from Spears…..

Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.

Stills

Relentless off the line.. Would provide better pass rush than Spears but still want Dre,Ingram, Upshaw, Decastro, or Konz before him right now

what about Ingram and brockers??

Right now I am wanting Brockers over any other DT

If we stay put at 14 I think he is the best option right now if he is still available.

I would like Ingram, but I am thinking that if Jonathan Massaquoi turns out to have a second round grade or higher and is possibly available for us in the second, I think you have to go with him after Brockers, then I think you have a pretty good front 7 on paper then start adding pieces in the secondary.

If Massaquoi isn’t graded that high or is already gone, go get Trumaine Johnson out of Montana or someone for the secondary. The reason I like Massaquoi is because he has an element of speed off the edge and a quick first step which you normally can’t teach. I think being opposite D-Ware and learning from basically his idol going through Troy (wore #94 in honor of ware) he could learn some things from him. Plus he already played on the strong side rushing

I really hate watching highlight reels for scouting reels

Why? Because you can fall in love with anyone when you are only looking at the good plays they made. What I want to see is how bad a player looks outside of the highlight reel. This is where you see the motor, drive, determination, technique and all of those things.

Someone needs to make a lowlight reel of a good player so we can see what he looks like when not doing so well. Although there are youtube videos out there that show in some games the good plays and the bad plays, like one for Jonathan Massaquoi that you will find pretty easily.
