Hypothetical: If we select a d-lineman at #5 overall, who would it be and why?

It's a really hard question.

I think we NEED Udeze more.

I think Wilfork may be the type of quick, big, dominating run stopper to be the best fit right away.

I think Harris has the long arms, quickness and speed to be a great interior force in time.

While I think we do need a defensive end more, if we are staying at five, the pick almost has to be Harris. Like Udeze, he has tremendous upside. He's got good speed for a big interior lineman which will help against mobile QBs like McNabb. He's got long arms to help leverage and split blockers though he's a little light.

Wilfork is a round guy with shorter arms. If he keeps his weight in check he could be better than Harris. But, Harris has biggest upside for the No. 5 pick. I'd trade down though to get Udeze or Smith first though :).

something tells me harris & smith are the better players 3yrs down the road.could be wrong though..drafttime. hopefully gibbs' stays on this 'we want taylor or winslow' sell long enough that someone @ 6-8 really believes we're taking the player they want & overpays to move up & grab them.& we still get our man(like bailey).

although,as we all know, by the time the draft arrives peoples stock has changed so much we may stay @ 5 to get our man period..

My money would be on Tommu Harris simply because his weight and speed would be ideal for him to play both DT and DE. The combo (weight & speed) would make an impact at either position kinda like 2 n 1. Kenechi is lighter in weight but could fit the mold also. I give Tommy the nod because its tougher to play inside on a regular than outside and he should be used to going against double teams playing on the interior line.
