I would say that P is much more important than a weak rotational DL player that may not make the roster.

I like Staley’s team building better than anybody’s on this board. Sorry.

Now you are complaining about a punter that is not even on the team anymore. Get real.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by Xenos View PostI don’t fucking care that we passed over Araiza! And neither does Staley. We weren’t going to draft a punter who out kicks his coverage and lacks accuracy to pin a team. I know this really well because he’s from my alma mater and I watched him all the time. And given the fact that we don’t really punt, it’s okay to pass over a punter for a more important rotational position.

Jones was probably going to see the field less than Wood is. That’s just how Staley’s defensive scheme is built. Ogbonnia is a rotational depth piece. He’s not meant to be the starter in front of Austin and Sebastian. If you have issues with the pick, then complain to Staley.

Ogbonnia is going to be depth in a rotation after spending big in FA on two DTs. They obviously wanted another starter at safety in Wood.

I disagree and think Penning and Jones would have contributed right away. I like Zion Johnson, but the defenders that played against him and Penning at the Senior Bowl thought Penning was better--better right now. The Saints liked Penning at #19 overall.
Jones is an in shape hard worker. He did very well at the Senior Bowl. He certainly is going to be a lot better than Ogbonnia, who was a terrible non-Araiza pick.
I like Strong's big play capability and so did the Patriots. That said, I think I understand why the team preferred Spiller, who represented good value.
I think the players I named help us in win now mode, but also have higher ceilings to help us continue winning.
