They list Coples, Floyd, Jenkins, Poe, and Martin. They make Martin sound like Chris Williams 2.0.

 

What scares me about Quinton after reading that is he doesn't sound any better than J Webb. If you're going to spend a first round pick on a guy, he'd better be damn better then the guy you have. Sounds iffy.

Huh? They play different positions.

 

The OL class and the DE class are both bad this year. Aside from Kalil, the rest of the crew aren't very strong with pass protection. They're more in the mold of a road grader. That's fine and all, but not for a left tackle.

 

The DE group all have concerns that are worth being concerned about. I don't like Coples lack of explosiveness, Upshaw and his 4.7 forty, plus his lack of ideal size for a DE, Mercilus looks to be more of a 3rd down specialist and has issues playing against the run..

I dont think the OL class and DE class are considered bad. With all the information we have there are 7 OLs that have a first round grade. NFP(which I like) has 8 OLs being drafted in the first round. It may not be great, but bad doesnt apply. According to NFP they have 7 DEs in the top 64 players. Also there mock draft shows 4 being drafted. Define the term bad? Bad for me would be safety, only 2 listed in the top 64 players. Only one will be drafted in the first two rounds.

Agreed. Bad is relative to the year.
