Bowles has ALWAYS made liberal use of 4 DL in his hybrid 3-4 system.
This isn't even a suspect move. It could be argued the Jets dd not have enough down linemen for Bowles to implement his brand of 3-4 football, after losing Ellis in FA.
Williams will see his fair share of snaps as a rookie, in rotation if nothing else.
HYATT is thinking Ozzie really hit it out of the park for his QB.
FIVE new toys for Flacco in this draft.
CIN, in keeping with the Brown family finally getting their scouting house in order, once again smoked everyone else in the AFCN, except perhaps BAL.
HYATT™ calls it for BAL, but it's close enough to be a tie and go to OT.
The NFCN seemed to help itself above normal as well, except for Green Bay - which HYATT™ believes had one of the worst drafts of any team.
Of course the press will continue to polish Terd's knob until it shines brighter than the Lombardi - but what else is new in the bobble-head blogosphere?
OAK, as previously mentioned, hit it big for a 2nd year straight. Reggie is finally finding his stride as a GM out there - but still has a long way to go to be truly competitive in that AFCW division.
For a team on the verge of losing it's franchise QB, SD didn't do much to make Phillip any happier.
Andy Reid seems to finally have found the light in his WR blind spot. It only took him a decade & a half.
For a draft with not so much top tier talent, a LOT of teams seemed to find players that are a match to their system and will make a difference.
Perhaps that is why so many pundits are nodding their heads and passing out only C- or higher grades when usually at least a half dozen teams get a D or even an F.
It was a good year for depth and rebuilding, but few teams will change their standings as a result of the draft alone.
Mostly they were able to fill a few holes with 2nd tier players and development prospects - and replenish defections and retirement damages.
