He's just too damn talented.
I mean no question that's a dream pick because he can A) spell Jones (which CJ needs badly next year) and B) Step in at the 3 tech for Jones when Jones moves out to the edge on pass rush downs.
I mean you could have that guy as a DL 5 who takes reps off Jones, Karlaftis (through Jones moving out) Omenihu (see Jones) and even the Nose if they play in a nascar set with Jones and Nolen inside.
It would be a RIDICULOUSLY good fit. I just don't see us getting that lucky.
He's really really good -- there are too many teams picking in the 20s that would be willing to take the risk. If you want him, I think you're moving up to 24ish. I don't see him getting through the back of that round when he's easily one of the 10-12 best pure talents in the draft.

That's where I'm at. He's the best DT in this draft IMHO. I can't see him dropping all the way to 31. Seems ridiculous. I know odd things happen when "character" is concerned.
I'm ho-hum on Ersery, but I feel the same way about that pick. Too many teams need OTs on one side or the other not to at least take a shot on him earlier than 63.
If we did get Ersery and Burch as the next two picks after Nolen, I'd feel like that was a very... average-looking haul.
With Martinez, who I like but not what I see as needed, I'd walk away from this one feeling like we got positional fits, but it's far from "dreamy" outside of actually getting Nolen.
