    To my understanding Butler did really well when Duane Brown was suspended...

    I don't think it tells you as much about Butler as it does their thoughts on Newton behind him.

    Agreed that DT isn't a major priority...but I do expect a 3-4 DE to be taken. Possibly targeting one that could occasionally slide inside. Cody's been solid at nose, but Mitchell hasn't really demonstrated that he's an answer there.

    I also read they really like Derek Newton, the tackle they drafted in the 7th round last year. This staff really knows how to coach up offensive lineman so I am not worried. Chris Myers was an average center with the Broncos and they made him a Pro Bowl starter. Wade Smith was a journeyman lineman and now he is a good starting guard. Mike Brisiel was an undrafted guard and they made him a good solid starter in the NFL.

    What are the better receivers still out there? I wouldn't be surprised to see us go back for seconds

    Ware tends to do that to people.

    They will definitely draft another WR at some point.

    Streeter...would be a first or second round pick if he stayed an extra year in college. He's got some talent.

    Kind of an unfair measuring stick, don't you think?

    Well in that case..

    Can't believe he got beat by a scrub like Ware.

    Yeah he looked bad against Ware, but as a whole he filled in well during his 4 week starting stint.
