A lot of raw talent in this draft that would require coaching up…Johnson has a real nice physical skill set and could be very good in time…Hodges is another guy with a great skill set but he would have to learn how to play inside…Holmes isn’t a guy I’m really high on…he is solid but struggles against better competition…Commings is another guy with great size and physicality for the position but hasn’t been overly productive…I think altho Wilson has fallen off this season I reckon someone will take a shot on him higher than the 5th…same goes for Taylor who should impress at the combine…overall there would be plenty risk involved here but at the same time these guys could develop into fine players…

Also you still have Mosley on your depth chart.

-I am not a Holmes fan he just is not very physical.

-If Lovie is here I think there is almost a 0% chance that a rookie MLB starts in his defense.

-This Urlacher decision is going to be incredibly intense, he looked awful against the Seahawks.

-We talked about Johnson and I think he is going to be good, but he might now be able to start this year which you indicate.

-Keller is interesting and a tough eval because of how terrible Sanchez is.

To be honest I don’t see why you would be against…or believe that Lovie won’t…play a rookie at MLB…in many ways it’s one of the easier positions to transition to from the college ranks…most of these guys have been calling plays for years and are leaders…for example in my next mock I have us taking Shayne Skov in the 3rd round…as much as he isn’t an elite athlete that Urlacher was he is an extremely smart emotional leader who even vets would gravitate too…I would have no problem seeing him start from day 1.

I am asking this honestly do people really think we let Urlacher walk?
