Had Boyd in a few mocks, good fit, good motor. I like the way we are going on the DL this year. Last year we added some maxed out veterans in Muir and Merling, this year Datone Jones, Josh Boyd, some young guys with some skills.

I like double dipping on the D-Line. We need to get tougher up front.

He's a swing end/nose, plus motor guy with surprisingly good feet for a big man. Not a sexy pick, but I can't complain. McGinn liked him a lot.

Where does he fit in on our line? You guys think he's got a chance at beating someone out for a spot?

Based on some scouting reports if this kid spends some time in the weight room he could be solid with his motor.

Very good pick. Great competition at DL again this year.

Robert Woods and Josh Boyd have the same 3 cone. I'll never complain about taking a big guy with movement skills in the draft.

He and Catapano were my two DL I liked for day 3.

Get's an A from me!

Datone Jones - Jerel Worthy
BJ Raji - Josh Boyd
Mike Neal - Ryan Pickett - Mike Daniels

I think these 7 NEED to make the team. Plus we're gunna have CJ Wilson, Johnny Jolly and others who slip my mind out there battling in August...

Really hope we grab a receiver SOON.
