The list might not be complete but you get the idea.

im actually really surprised you would be disgusted at cody....the man showed at the senior bowl he cant be moved at all, not backwards, not side to side and he takes at least 2, sometimes 3 lineman to stop him AND hes not even close to being as strong as he can be.

Hes a good kid and coachable and with a disciplined coach he will keep his weight down, a big man like that takes 5 days to lose 30+ pounds, hes always lost weight when he has had too. Hes just so rare of a NT that you cant be disgusted at drafting him. hes not haloti ngata, but hes a good athlete and does carry his weight pretty well, hes more like a cross between casey hampton and ted washington, no pass rusher but he will take up space for years

price, odrick and gilyard would make it no where near a top 16 for me

I'll give you Price and Gilyard, Gilyard especially because most seem to completly miss what he brings to the table. But I can't understand how you could be a fan of a 3-4 team and not see Odrick's talent. He's absolutely prototypical as a 3-4 DE in his play, his size/frame, athletic ability, strenth, etc, ect...

i like odrick ok, not top 16 players overall though. i agree though he'll play 34 end....im just not sure were committed to the 34 anymore, we will find out this year though through the draft and hampton situation

i would rather take odrick at 18 than evander hood at 32 and i mean that, i would be disappointed with the pick though considering i know there would be a player i would want there instead

[K Train]

i really believe that if we stick to a 34, cody is the only player that would make hood not completely suck ass for the remainder of his contract. Any linebacker that plays for the steelers should hate hood since he cant take up a blocker to save his life, at least cody has the sheer girth to make up for hoods lack of ability to play that particular position

[Black@Gold Forever32]

My only concern for Cody is his weight....I would be afraid of his ballooning to 400+ and making him worthless.....Other then that I like Cody.....

[K Train]

but he can control his weight is all im saying, he was close to 400 when he weighed in for the senior bowl, he was probably somewhere around his normal 365 when he played. steelers have the staff to keep him in shape imo, hes not just a fat slob

That is the concern with Cody, that he could eat his way out of the NFL very easily. To miss on a #1 draft pick can hurt a team for a decade. These are the players who are supposed to be the foundation you build your team around. If you argue that Hood was already a miss then taking someone like Cody in the next year is even riskier. To miss on #1 picks in successive years could put us on a slow road to mediocrity. That is my concern with drafting Cody. If we pick him I would pray that you were right and that he could control his weight.

Multi-million dollar contracts can really enable someone who loves to overeat!
