The Bengals, Cardinals, Bills and Broncos all have him high on their big board. I doubt he'll drop to us.

The thing though is that Heckert is looking for a DT who can rush the passer and if you have to pick which one is better at the pass rush, then that would have to be Fairley.

When his motor is running, Fairley's hands are amazing. He holds well with the 3 and 5 technique when he's at full speed.

In regards to Dareus, in-game, he plays much slower than his combine speed. Game speed, Fairley is much more explosive than Dareus. Don't let the numbers fool you. This coming from an Alabama fan.

I'd go Fairley over Bowers and Quinn to be honest.

Jesus Christ that dude is a beast. He reminds you of a lazier Ndamukong Suh with great hands. In the trenches, hands are very important, something Marcell Dareus is lacking.

Huh? Warren sapp and many other draft analysts say dareus uses his hands alot better than fairley if I'm not mistaken.. that and the fact he moves well at a bigger size put him over fairley for the top DT

Of course it's probably all one big smoke screen- but Peterson is still in the running,(as is every other top prospect).

Heckert's specialty when it comes to DE's is finding good lighter fast DE's and Quinn fits that bill. But since Heckert has also said he wants a pass rushing DT, there is a really good chance that he has Fairley rated higher than both Quinn and Bowers. When asked if all teams had Quinn rated higher he laughed and said "not all teams". He also said he thought Fairley had a productive year before his "one year wonder" year and said Fairley's 11.5 sacks could be credited more to him progressing as a player, rather than a mistake.

But who knows. This year I am not going to be made with who ever we pick. Last year after the first two rounds I thought I developed a stomach ulcer and now I love how the whole draft last year really turned out for us.

I was listening to mike and mike this morning and greenie asked todd mcshay off camera a few days prior " how often do your sources lie to you?"

Mcshay says" all the time, even people that are really close friends have lied right to my face."

So it could be true, but I'm thinking we pass. To much potential money to be lost.

Well he sure is in the running for that pick you can tell Heckert likes him just by how much time he has spent looking into him,i say if Peterson or Green are both gone you bet your ass Bowers is the pick..

King Koopa it is
