Re: Examining the Rest of the West

I can't say I was too impressed with our draft this year, either. I found the Balmer pick somewhat curious. We've needed a NT for quite some time but he just doesn't look like a nose tackle. He seems too tall and lean. However, in all the clips I saw of him, he was usually taking on a double team and at the moment he's at 311 with a chance to get bigger, so it may work out. At the moment, though, he's 2nd string LDE, so I really don't get it.

I'm miffed we passed on Groves. Our best pass rusher is Rod Green, a guy our FO has cut twice in the last two years. The lack of a pass rush has been hurting us for some time. I don't understand why our FO would shell out a ton of money for the secondary and then not get them any help. They've esentally put their pass rushing eggs in the basket of the players already on the roster.

With all that said, we've supposedly had "great" drafts the last few years with little to show for it. Maybe what we need is a boring draft.
