cortland finnegan could be a real find

lead team in tackles & runs a 4.3 40 ,sounds like a football player not just
a track guy playing football,needs to hit weight room.

Two different positions. Two different skill levels required. Are you saying that a good CB is easier to find than a DT? We often take late-round DTs and plug them in and they are effective because of the system.

Draft history says 2 gap DT's are harder to find.

TJ in my opinion, our late round DB picks are 6 to 6-2 corners with size. We draft trying to hit it big late. Bigger DB are in now because of the WR size. The best athletes that are this size are WR. The guys we plug in at DT are 1 gap players.

Soxcat, regarding wright this was a guy many considered first rd material a year ago. He is bigger and more athletic than claus and has far far more upside. Great blue north rating him the 7th best DT prospect and nfl draft countdown rated him 6th. What is the worst that would happen? He would come into camp and get cut.

The Titans obviously thought the UT guy was a much better player.
Long has been decent as a situational pass rusher and pass rushing DTs are hard to find. He had 3.5 sacks last year and 5 the year before. I would assume they like him in that roll and Clauss is the guy they don't see alot of potential in.

same as cromartie 40 time same too ,plus he hasnt had injury problems just played in ovc mot as fsu.so taller recivers wont bother him with a 44 inch vertical.
