[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517279"] And yet our #1 draft pick may be the lightest 3-4 DE in the league. He was in the off season when I compared in these pages his Combine weight to that of all the first string 3-4 DEs listed in the ESPN depth charts at the time. Neal and Jones may be the lightest guys in the league to line up at nickel DT. Capers said they went with Jones because they wanted a rangy guy with more height to move away from the plethora of big bodies; most 3-4 put one of those guys at DE. Before that we tried to sign Canty who fits that profile (who we'll be playing against this week). Looking at the rest of the draft class, the only guys you would say are bigger than average are Lacy and the two low round receivers...Johnson and Dorsey. The latter two approximate Nelson in size...one would think they want to develop one of these guys as Nelson's replacement if he ditches in FA. Other than Lacy and Neal when he plays LB, I don't see any particular upgrades to the physical-ness of the team, while 5 of the 6 top picks (Jones, Bakhtiari, Tretter, Franklin and Hyde) are smaller than the NFL average. A note on the safety position: We'll be playing against Michael Huff this week, one of the cheap vet safeties available with some decent cred. He was high on my list of possible FA pickups, seeing as I viewed safety as an achilles heel. From the little I've seen of him this year, it looks like he might be having a bit of a rough go in Baltimore. We'll get a chance to check out what we missed (or didn't) this week, together with Canty who Thompson tried to land twice in FA. [/QUOTE]
