Defensive players that I am looking forward to seeing this Spring

Advertisement
Most people on the board don't seem to realize Wilson and Lightfoot are both edge's. I don't know their updated weights coming into camp, but they were, Foot 220 and I don't believe Wilson was 250. Wilson has a chance to be the best pass rusher in college, but he has 0% chance of being a Top 10 pick unless he learns to defend the run better and set the edge.
Thornton has to prove me wrong, he is not a nickel to me. My guess is he plays it as the the situational dime LB. I suspect Hussey, Day and Dunnigan get a shot at nickel. Ewald also, he showed flashes at nickel last season. Obviously, Thornton is my SS then with Fitz as the FS. I really want Poyser on the field so it's a loaded DB room. Does Poyser back up Fitz or get a shot at nickel, also? Can Dunnigan really pass everyone and start someplace?
At LB, after Toure and Chase, I hope Wiley is ready to unseat one. The rest better make huge jumps because I want to skip them all to Edwards, Campbell and Busch. I like him, but Pruitt is a tweener I have given up on because of his size. TE Lofton will play and make plays, but I have Pruitt and Lofton in the same boat, positionless. We must hit on off the ball LB's in this class.

I agree about Thornton. To me he is a strong safety type. I see him more taking the Jakobe Thomas role.
