La Mancha.
With all these D players being taken (and overdrafted QBs), I wonder if the current draft market inefficiency is offensive players. Honest question since I haven't studied up on the draft and really don't know.

Lots of high grade talent left on the board. Teams in the low 20's are hitting the jackpot

I like how Tennessee is drafting. Not enough separation between BPA and what they need to be overly seduced by the BPA. It seems like a good draft to go out and take what you need.

Actually there have been more O players already taken than I thought. Ignore me.

Foster dropping, Hightower's market less robust than expected. ILB sort of on the downside of the curve in the NFL at the moment?

Not that run stuffer is Hightower's MO exactly, but perhaps a counterpoint to running backs no longer being in vogue?
Yeah, probably -- that and just the prevalence of the pass game and the idea in pass defense that the edge is thought so much more valuable. It's just weird because of how many guys who play inside that over the years have been thought to be the heart and soul of defenses. Times change I guess.

Foster has some questions about his shoulder, failed a drug test, and has maturity issues (off the field issues). Sure he's supremely talented but if he's going to have trouble staying on the field or whatever I can see him falling about this far. If he slips out of the top 50 picks I'd be surprised.
