the senior bowl is about raising your game and excelling at a higher level. this game made Eric Fisher the #1 overall pick, Christian Ponder and EJ Manuel 1st round picks, Andy Dalton a high 2nd rounder, and multiple small school guys get picked much higher than they normally would have.if you want to help yourself you play in this game
So is Aaron Donald our guy next to McCoy they say he has Sapp like quickness if so you can put Mccoy at the nose just a thought

that is a ridiculous waste of McCoy's talent. you don't move a dominant 2 time probowler to NT for a rookie who just looks talented at this point
If I am Bucs I go Watkins or CJ Mosely in rd oneAmaro rd 2

Exactly... And McCoy's quickness is freakish to begin with.

Mosley would be a completely horrible and unnecessary draft pickAmaro wont make it to RD2
Donald was beating Cyril? Wow. Some people thought Cyril might be a mid first. What does that make Donald?
I'd put Donald next to McCoy. I don't care who is on the right and who is on the left.
Here are some things I noted from the weigh-ins: https://www.pewterreport.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=9595:&Itemid=15 Also, I haven't seen a defensive lineman dominate like Donald did in the one-on-ones in the five years I've gone to the Senior Bowl. He made Cyril Richardson look undraftable.
so if you knew Donald was the next Geno Atkins you wouldn't want that kind of talent at #7?
Bottom line is the kid dominates. He is a beast vs the run and is an elite pass rusher from the DT position. People get too caught up in labels and wanna say he couldn't play NT because he is 6'1" 288lbs....but Booger McFarland was 6' 296lbs at the combine. Brad Culpepper was 6'1" 280lbs. Chartric Darby was 6' 285lbs. Ellis Wyms was 6'2" 290lbs. Chris Hovan was 6'2" 290lbs. We recently spent a 2nd rounder on Brian Price to play NT and he was 6'1" 298lbs. Akeem Spence is the biggest guy we've had in years and he is just 6'1" 307lbs. If you look at Chicago's NTs over the last decade, you'll see that they are all around 6'1" and 295lbs to 305lbs as well.We don't need some 6'4" 330lbs mountain of a man at NT in a 4-3. We never have. People wanna hold the fact that Donald is a great pass rusher against him, as if that means he can't play next to McCoy. It is an amazing advantage to have two DTs that can play on the left or right side and be dominant. It is a huge advantage to have a NT that doesn't need to come out on passing downs. This kid is legit. By the time the combine roles around he'll probably be in the 290s and his stock is going to skyrocket. If it wasn't for the size concerns he would be a top 10 pick.....and when those size concerns subside, he might just end up going that early. Ideally we could trade back and get him in the middle of the first, but honestly.....if we add a stud DE in free agency and drafted a beast DT in Aaron Donald in the 1st round.....I don't think people would be complaining for long. As far as the "too small" label. This is what he did to the biggest OL at the Senior Bowl today. (Cyril Richardson 6'4" 343lbs considered the 3rd best OG in the draft)
Nice find on that gif JDouble! That play was the single best rep I have ever seen at the Senior Bowl.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard . But we start hearing talk like this every year , some on this board are obsessed with DT's and want us picking Nose Tackles high literally every draft....I guess it's the withdrawal symptoms Sapp left us with.
