I prefer Chapman, because I think Ta'amu is not much more than his size. That said, I definitely didn't want Ta'amu in the 2nd or 3rd, but I'd be okay with him in the 4th.

That's true, but it will only affect the beginning of his rookie season. I'm looking at this as a long-term solution. That said, I mostly liked Chapman over Ta'amu because I thought he seemed more like the Steelers' type. If they disagee, who am I to argue?

If one of them had been gone and we took the other, it'd be a "we'll never know" thing, and that would drive me crazy. The fact that they were both on the board and we traded up to pick one makes me very comfortable with the choice.

Either Colbert mis-spoke or he did not even have Chapman on his radar when it comes to NTs, possibly due to medical concerns.

"In Ta'amu's situation, there were only four or five nose tackle-types available, and he was the last man standing," Colbert said."

Wow, if he really said that, that may speak to Hampton's status early in the year, and how much playing time he expects the rookie to get. I can believe they prefer Ta'amu over Chapman, but I'm not sure I believe that they don't consider Chapman a viable player at all. His health must have played a bigger role than I expected, and they may be looking at getting Ta'amu in quicky.[/quote:1wcz4vt7]

Its clear they were happy to get alameda when thet did. Hoke says it will take 1-2 years before he gets it all.
