Is Kevin Minter Mike Minter's son?
Overall my hope for the 2013 roster is to get faster pretty much everywhere, go to more of a 2TE/spread offense, and more 4-3 looks. I tried to get guys that can help make that happen.Quote:

Big and strong, with a GREAT motor who not only stops the run up the middle but gets a lot of pressure collapsing the pocket. He can also play 5-tech and 4-3 DT. You know, on second thought I might have gone too light on the DL and might need to add some guys.
After thinking about it really carefully over the last few weeks I think we need Ed Reed back. I really don't think there's a better option out there, even taking into consideration what Ed wants to get paid. I think something can get done there and I think the Ravens legitimately want him back, probably on like a 2-year deal or something.
Earl Wolff has A LOT of potential at FS, Travis Long could be a starting Rush after Suggs is done, Juszczyk can play FB, HB, and TE and is really athletic... that would be a knockout draft IMO.
Do you think the defense could be better served with more speed from Reed's spot?Quote:

His range is more than adequate.Quote:

Wow, I'm sold on Brandon Williams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=WGSMeSZXQdM Seems like the type of guy Ozzie and the FO loves.
Well, you got Minter and Madsen right :laugh:Quote:

1) What does Josh Boyce's potential bring to our franchise that Deonte Thompson hasn't already?
2) If Minter and Kawann Short are both there at 32, who do you take?
3) What about Quessenberry makes him a better prospect than Ricky Wagner in your opinion? (not debating you, just trying to get a different POV)
4) Juszczyk is a guy I've heard little about. Do you think he'd even be drafted? Operating under your assumption from last night that Michael Williams will go later than my projection, why not just take him in this spot?
Ok, I'll bite on liking him too. Reminds me of a Lardarius Webb under-the-radar type. I'm just not sure what to say on him in the 2nd round.Quote:

I saw one (CBS sports) that had him ranked as their 71st best prospect (early-mid 3rd round)
Draftsite has his as their 103rd rated prospect (early 4th round)
Walter Football lists him as a 5th-7th rounder.
Did he get a combine invite?
CJ Moseley should have declared, he would have been the best ILB in this class.
His man boobs are about as impressive as Cody's. I do like him, but unless he is on a serious uptick, I would try to target him more in the 3rd round range.Quote:
