Well, I think we all know that quinn will be high on this list come playoff time. And barwin won't be no slouch either.

Don't forget Ogletree. He's going to be a stud in a 3-4. Barron is going to be fine as well. I know that people worry about his size, but I trust in Wade Phillips to bring the best out of him.

Who is the eff is Telvin Smith??
I think these three Quote's pretty much cover my feels!! Except let me add I think our LBer Corps will be Top 5 ranked by the end of the Season, And there will be NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! Just my not so humble opinion!!(y):snicker::shades:

Edit: I should have also added in @Memento Quote About Ogletree and Barron, I was thinking of those two in reading the List!!

If I'm not mistaken we picked Pead while Wagner was still on the board and we needed a MLBer, at the time. This still hurts.

A lil beast that runs around for the Jags...the Jags defense slipped into the top 10 last year...they were really playing well at the end of the season.

The Bucs have some good LB's down there as well...

Still shocked that Ogletree isn't on here rated higher than Shazier....oh well.

LOL - tats what I thought when I read the name!

The Jags defense is going to be really good.You will here about a couple other players as well.

Telvin Smith is another FSU guys. He is a great sideline to sideline LB .His rookie year was his best.Marques Peterson had 8 int'.
