I'm all for a 4-3 but Bowles said his base is staying 3-4 and it would've made more sense to draft elsewhere and play the 4 D-Lineman you have already if that was the plan. Coples just isn't a OLB.
Teams like us don't take rotation players in the first round especially not at 6. That's not how you get better when the O-Line sucks, you don't have a QB, and you need a pass rushing OLB.
Incredibly smart selection when a super talented potential impact players falls a few spots. There were rumors they were interested in Glennon. Probably the Bucs are going to trade him.
Williams wears #94, Snacks wears #94. The rookie should have to beat Snacks in an eating contest to get the jersey number
The O-Line doesn't suck, there were no QBs they could have reasonably gotten who were better than what they have, and you don't need a pass-rushing OLB when you have a bunch of stud linemen who can rush the passer and create pressure/wreck havoc from up front.
Anyone who criticizes the pick is thinking too short term IMO.. Williams is likely the best overall talent in the draft. There are very few opportunities in the history of a franchise to draft the best talent in a given draft. Where he fits in the 2015 roster is irrelevant to me, they will find a place for him but this pick is about beyond 2015, and having an elite talent on your roster.
The o-line does suck. D-brick and mangold are towards the end, Breno isn't good, colon is horrible, and we don't want the new guy can do. Compared to the stacked d-line it sucks more than suck. If we were going to throw away the #6 pick we could've traded up, and you do need a pass rushing LB because you can't play 8 D-lineman at the same time.
