anyone else think they really had K. Wright as their #1? When they saw that the titans picked him Baalke put his hands on his head and Jim turned to him and said "f**k" i could be wrong but i think he was their first choice.
Na the pick was Irvin the seahawks screwed us over he would have been a star as an olb. AJ Jenkins is a better prospect than Wright in every way
i think it might of been K. Wright more then Irvin imo
It was all over the internet all day and they Lombardi said it during the draft that Irvin was there guy. His measurables were off the charts even better than clay mathews with longer arms. I think the team envisioned teaching Irvin to play olb on 1st and 2nd down and keeping Aldon in his role as a pass rush specialist. As good as Aldons year was it still hasnt been provin yet they he can play all 3 downs and add it in that we still only have 3 olbs on the roster one injury and our pass rush takes a huge step back.
mayock said that irvin cant play on 1st and 2nd downs and is not a stout run defender
why would you draft the same player (like aldon smith) and then only teach one of them how to be an every down player
Stout as 4-3 end no way olb different story. It didnt have to happen right away. Everyone pretty much feels like this is a bpa draft. They could afford to wait on him Baalke like athletes because he believes in the coaching staff to teach sound fundamentals and discipline
