Louis Nix got cut.....I liked this guy coming out of college more than Brockers even though he was a 3/4 NT.

I know I know we almost got through Pre Season without any talk of G Robs slowish development. But @BonifayRam left it hanging there and I couldn't resist, it is half in jest.....well almost half

The only Auburn OL'er other than Greg Robinson who I can recall that has starting abilities in the NFL was back in the 2012 draft as a 4th rder. Brandon Mosley who has started one game for the Giants thus far.

I've been reading a bunch of your posts...And I think you're on to something...those 2 plays after Foles interception were pitiful...LTP is not ready to play noseguard...Westbrooks is NOT a DT.....JL is....well he needs a Brockers...Never noticed Taylor, curious why he was cut...I'm sure contract had something to do with it, but what was his production like?

Taylor has a knee problem.

What do you mean Westbrooks is not ready to play Nose? And LTP is not a nose. He plays up tackle. A true nose is juts going to eat up blockers and let the other guys through and judging by LTP getting penetration it was working.

I was interested in CB Jaylen Watkins coming out of college but I didn't keep up with him in Philadelphia

One play....but there have been others...First offensive play of the KC game..Check out LTP & Westbrooks on that 8 yard run....they don't anchor. They don't penetrate...they are not DT/NG...which are basically the same thing...We have 4 DE's better than him, and the only reason he'll be on the team is....because he'll play DE in 2016? We need a DT if Brockers has injury concerns...I'm already assuming Fairley has injury concerns.....

LTP has played well. I don't think Westbrooks was as good at DT this year. I agree they could use a good NT backup but where are they going to get one? I think they keep them both. How much is Westbrooks going to see the field anyway?

I know he was injured most of last year but your post got me curious so I looked up exactly what happened. He had a couple knee surgeries(one was just a scope, the second wasn't really clear exactly what it was) last year. I found a report from two days ago that the Steelers still think his knee needs surgery. It might explain why no one has signed him yet. The link also said 10 teams had interest in him. If 10 teams are interested the second he's released but then there's complete silence, I think that's pretty telling.

So it looks like Taylor isn't going to be an answer. Oh well.

I've heard a lot about Reese Dismukes being a massive racist... so that might have something to do with his inability to stick or get drafted.

Imagine the Rams WRs with a guy who has gotten in trouble for dropping the N word?

Stanley Jean Baptiste from NO he is raw but with a lot of potential and at 6'3 220 would be an imposing cb.

Reportedly his knee is a mess and he can't stay healthy.

Louis Nix was released. He's a big, talented NT but there are also injury concerns and work ethic concerns with him.

I might take a shot on Anthony Johnson from Miami.

Interestingly enough, the Steelers cut Gerod Holliman, Reese Dismukes, and B.J. Finney. They're all somewhat notable guys from this past draft.

Craig Dahl is also available haha.

I know @Memphis Ram would want us to grab John Conner or Henry Hynoski.

I think we should seriously consider Kevin White. Would be good depth behind Roberson.

Finley is a guy I really liked. Based on what I seen he could be as good or better than Barnes.

Robert McClain has been released by NE. Could be a nice depth guy in nickel and dime situations. He had a decent camp and has been a starter. Only 27
