good pick! i like, Maybin put on an extra 20lbs after pro day, and he ran a faster 40 time then when he weighed the 20lbs less, and dood is used to playing in cold weather ---

> [@A.J.](#): > > seriously? you got the best defense prospect on the board in my opinion 1.) English doesn’t impress me. He’s going to have a wake up call when he’s facing NFL O-lines instead of MAC ones 2.) If he really was their guy, they could have traded down about 10 picks and picked up a second rounder that they don’t have. 3.) Why is he luxury picking OLB’s, where he has a perennial pro bowler on one side and a very solid guy on the other, when there are glaring holes at ILB, DE, and RT and the team is close to the Super Bowl? ---

haha word. Apparently norv and ron rivera were on some interview and they want to run like a 2-5 as their base defense next year? with english and merriman on one side, phillips and castillo on the other, j-wall in the middle, and one of those fggts in the middle with cooper since they didn’t fill that hole. and shitty hart at SS. ---

interesting… i do like the thought of merriman / phillips and english (if he’s as good as they say he is) on the field at once, but they are still weak at ILB ☹ ---

i hope the bills know what they’re doing. its easy to look back and speculate but they could have had pettigrew, maliuga, and everette brown. they were all available in that order. the way it worked out is ok with me though. maybin should be good, wood is a beast, byrd should start for ko, i heard the te is solid but idk anything about him. nick harris is going to switch to linebacker but he and the other dbs are probably just going to compete for special teams, which we need to remain solid. we deff need derrick brooks lol ---

I like byrd, his dad was very underrated and if i’m not mistaken still holds the chargers career int record. would like to see him do well [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nfl-draft-thread/66759.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nfl-draft-thread/66759.md?page=3)
