[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 660798"] That was a brain fart...my projection for Floyd is OLB by 2017, not ILB. I edited that post. In the mean time, he could get his feet wet with some situational play at Will and off the edge. Schobert at 11:59 vs. Ryan at 11:65 are indistinguishable. Well, I'm more optimistic than maybe anybody on this board regarding Ryan as a 3-down Will. Any true college ILB these days (not a converted college S), taken in this draft is going to be a little rough in man coverage, and converted OLBs have their own issues. Jaylon Smith would have been a notable exception, but nowhere near touchable at #27 if healthy. So I look forward to a second year improvement from Ryan. I know for sure I was more optimistic about Pennel than anybody on this board when I saw him playing with vastly improved pad level in preseason last year. He's the kind of undercoached small college player that makes the practice squad worthwhile. In fact, I don't see a need specifically for a NT at all. I tried to pick a couple of guys who I see as more athletic big men for gap play and scheme flexibility. The only reason I included Billings in my list was partly out of draft fatigue and partly because Pennel can play strong side DE in base as he did last season playing next to Raji. The smarter move would be a lower pick for a 2-down NT. You don't use a 1st. round pick to cover a 4 game suspension. So, I'm optimistic Pennel is not an irremediable pothead. I'd be more concerned if it was a PED suspension. [/QUOTE]
