    Good to hear Allen is on the Steeler's radar. Obviously Nix is a much better player but still, why spend a 1st round pick on a NT when you can get a pretty good in in Round 7.

    not real fond of either of them, but hey it's slim pickins this year. I still like what calvin barnnett,Anthony Johnson and caraun reid bring as well as aaron Donald. I still think there could be a lot of use in him. johnson , I like him over his line mate ego. all 4 of those guys stay after it and can get off of blocks when needed. great hustle.

    there could actually be some better guys after the draft as UDFA's for our D-line. a sort of overlooked group that could help a team. some specialty types wouldn't hurt us, depending on these sub packages and what DL decides to do with them.

    we could be forced to slide away from our base or what we used to consider the base oakie defense. the amout of passing may force us to reconsider how our interior guys are built and what we want them to do now. not just the passing game either, the more teams run the ZBS and spread the field, the quicker our inside guys need to be. I think dick is just in the beginning stages of revamping this defense for the game now.:cool:

    Allen could be a late round target he certainly has the size you want in a NT, plus he has a chip on his shoulder and has something to prove he was pissed at not being invited to the combine.
