re: Why not a DT over rush OLB w/ 1st pick?

we've had some threads discussing the NT situation at length.

My summary is that Bunkley should be pegged there even though hasn't been a 3-4 NT and doesn't fit the mold prototypically.

As far as draft, I'd rank'em sumpin like-

Lotulelei- he would be the no way you can pass on NT. He should be Top 5, Top 10 minimum. They would pounce on him but I'd count him less than 5% possibly on the board

Hankins is the one if available they could or could not take depending on who's available. They're gonna take the highest rated defender. I could see a take or pass on him even with a Jordan or Mingo available.

Jenkins in my next rated NT but is a reach at #15. I only see him if they stretched for need. If they traded back he could then be a prime candidate.

We really dunno how they rate the NT need factor. They go BPA but need is still a factor in the equation.

I think in the mock compilation thread was some discussion about CB. That too is not out of the realm of possibility. I could see Milliner as the BPA in some draft scenarios as well.
