Pick 152 (R5) - DT Matt Ioannidis

[Sharkinva]

Not even reasonable. If that were the case, teams would have been clamoring for your DL. This is exactly what you complain about with Dean.

Sorry dude, but a couple of teams reached in the first round.. we both know this.

Our GM Gambled that he could get the WR in the first and a starting caliber DL would be there for us in the second. We came up snake eyes on the DL pick. And from there went best player available.

Im actually glad they didnt reach for a billings or one of the 2nd tier D-line when all is said and done.

IN the end, we got better at WR, DB, and ILB... but our D-line remains a joke. IM not saying any of the first tree were bad picks from a talent point of view. But to say you totally ignore need when you have a huge glaring space station sized hole in a critical area is questionable.

Funny that every one who seemed to scream the game is won in the trenches has now adopted the mantra that our D-line didnt suck and we will be ok.

Let me just say I officially disagree. Our line sucks. NO amount of WR or Tweener LB is going to make up for that. We better score a whole lot of points, because much like last year, we wont be able to stop any one on defense.

All good...you are allowed to be wrong occasionally...totally kidding.

We have a difference of opinion but it isn't that we have a good DL. The difference is this draft class. I don't think any of those DL were day one starters on this team.

Line is important but I think we did a good job. As I mentioned earlier, Scot has a solid resume so I am okay with his draft. You also have no idea what happens between now and Sept.

I don't know where I heard this ... All good...you are allowed to be wrong occasionally... or in other words we all are entitled to our opinion.

Really dude?? Not a single one would beat out Paea and Reyes?? Tell me you are not serious right now?? If these guys were NOT in DC, they would not be starting.

We will see how many of them start week 1...it will be interesting.

With additional picks next year in hand and June 1 cuts forthcoming, I lead to believe we may just bring in a surprise big time starter along the defensive line before training camp. Let's just wait and see...

We will see but I like this kid a lot. I also liked his teammate, LB Tyler Matekavich. When I was a little, little kid my parents took me to Temple Baptist. My Dad grew up next to Temple. I went up a couple of years ago with my nephew on a scouting visit there. The reason I am telling you that is because I watched a lot of Temple football this past year. Coach Rhule had a good defense. We will have to wait and see but I think this kid will play well. He made a ton of plays for the Owls.
