I also think he will be there in the third round because of a bad 40 time which would make him a great value pick

Agreed. His tackeling is really poor if you are switching him to FS. With that said, he has undeniable ball skills. His frame is definitely a benefit and will help when trying to fight for those jump balls, but he'll need to add some LB's to play safety for sure.

We aren't going to have the money for a luxury signing.

Is he really any better than Authur Jones Or McPhee?

I'd send a 5th/6th rounder to Philly for Demeco Ryans. Just added depth to the front 7.

I'd really rather spend the money on Knighton, with Cody backing him up and rotating Jones/MCPhee/Ngata. Jesse or Brandon Williams at the nose if we can't get Knighton.

Is Demeco on the trade block? I'd consider it, he's due 5 mil in 2013 though.

Chris Canty is better than both at this point, and has great size, but he's 32. Arthur Jones, I think has great upside, he showed a lot this year both as a pass rusher and run defender.

They're completely changing schemes and I have heard he more than likely won't be back.

I can't see Ozzie going after a guy like Canty when he continues to stress the ongoing youth movement and I doubt we would have the money to sign him anyways.

Heck, he even played LT well. Not sure if he could play LT in the NFL, but I can't see why you wouldn't take him in the Late 1st/Early 2nd.

He's kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. He can definitely play but I'm just not sure how good he will be in the NFL. He could be a David Diehl type but I wouldn't use a 1st round pick for someone like that. He's a player that is going to get a lot of talk at the Combine. I'm curious to see how he comes out of it.

Agreed. "Youth Movement" doesn't exactly include bringing in older DT's who will likely cost a good penny.

The comp picks are already out and that didn't happen. We got a 4th for Grubbs. I can't find the list though and will update the link when I find it again.

I can see that, but still I would love to have him on our team. He seems like the kind of guy that makes everyone around him better.
