  1. Interesting pick with Trufant but CB is thin

     

    There might be slightly better players, but I want to run a scheme heavy on press-man so he was by far my best option. He has fantastic speed and good hips, along with the size and strength to play press-man. I also have a strong pass rush, a solid #1 CB in Leon Hall and a very good coverage FS in Reggie Nelson, so he should be in an ideal situation.

  2. I don't know, Amendola is a HUGE injury risk.  He has only finished a season one time in his 4 year career without missing time with injury. 

     

    He isn't injury prone though. His injuries have been freakish for the most part. He missed a whole season with a dislocated elbow. That isn't an injury one is predisposed to, it is just bad luck coming down at an awkward angle.

  3. He didn't seem very good against therun to have that type of role. Somewhat of a liability in that department. However he is still a young player with room for improvement so it could work out well for your team. It certainly helps that he will be a complementary player to your established defenders.

     

    He definitely isn't an Upshaw or a JJ, but he has been solid against the run and has flashed the potential to be very good there with better positioning. He has the athleticism and strength for it. He is also elite in coverage for a 3-4 OLB which allows my defense to be very creative with the blitz. With Dareus, Long, and a DT to be named controlling the line, I can mix up different attacking looks with Ware along with Wheeler and Acho, who are both very strong blitzing and coverage, and really confuse an offense.

  4. I just got a chance to look at this after a long day of work. I'm very glad Acho made it to my pick. He is an incredibly versatile 3-4 OLB who is very strong in coverage and setting the edge in addition to being a solid complementary pass rusher. He can't be your main pass rushing threat but I don't need that with Ware and Long in the fold so he can fill in very well as a jack-of-all-trades type of matchup threat.
