    1. Yes.
    2. No.
    3. Depends if he is there in Round Two pending on his combine performance. If he boosts himself into Round One, get back to me if he outperforms Bryce Hall.
    4. No.

    No I do not.


    If Isaiah does declare and if Pittsburgh does acquire him, that must mean Pittsburgh has a new Defensive Coordinator or is willing to incorporate more three safety looks. That said, what becomes of Morgan Burnett? Cannot just cur him after one season.

    I was disappointed in davis this year. I am looking at simmons as more like a shazier. he isn't. I aint saying that. but 6-4 around 230. he could be as fast.

    Many were disappointed in Sean Davis. I was not. For his inaugural season being a Free Safety, he turned out pretty good. Sure, he did not have the turnovers that I would have liked but cutting down opposing teams deep passes of 40+ yards by 50% is nothing short of great.



    That being said, he HAS to improve in his second season. Nevermind the 2018 season. 2019 is where I expect him to make the jump. No excuses.



    Regarding the whole Inside Linebacker aspect, Tre Lamar is someone I would watch. 6'4, 250lbs.+. HWS player. Depending on how well he does in the BCS Title game, Seinor Bowl, Combine and Pro Day, I expect his stock to rise either decently to exponentially.

    I agree about davis. I think he was a bright spot this year. Perfect no but he's a good player that has room to still grow. :cool:

    Yeah if it makes sense, it's not like every Bama defensive player is a stud in the NFL either.

    Trust me i know. Wilson is one of the best MLB in draft though. Miller is a leader and very versatile

    I like all the players you listed, I didn't get to see Simmons too much.
    He jumped right off the screen when I saw him against ND. I will be watching
    Monday to see if he will make an impact? I'll bet Tua doesn't run wild this game. LOL

    I can't stand Alabama, but I would be happy with Mack Wilson in the first round.

    While his ability to limit big plays down the field was a plus especially compared to MM almost anything would be a improvement. I'm still not sold at all with his instincts and range. His ball skills leave a hell of a lot yo be desired. Just ask Joe Haden. That was as bad a play you will ever see from a FS. I disagree with AQLs notion that you can't cut Burnett. You most certainly can. And I wouldn't be opposed to sneaking Davis back down closer to the LOS if we can get our hands on a true "centerfielder". Davis,Edmunds and a ball hawk would be a real nice 3 safety combination. Davis is adequate where he is but a true FS can make this D top notch again with another ILB and CB that can run.

    Walton and alualu are free agents.Tuitt is making too much money for what he brings. I could see a defensive lineman drafted. :cool:

    Heck, I could see that being the "last resort option" at pick 20 should that player warrant that selection. Derrick Brown returning to college hurts. That being said, Rashan Gary seems to be a "Tomlin T" pick in some ways. Not every way but some for certain.

    I just hope they don't draft one in the first round.
