4th Round #1: Geno Atkins

[Sea Ray]

Interesting that Suh is 12th and Casey Hampton is 23rd. So why wasn't Atkins a 1st team All Pro?

Only if we would have gotten Ngata,Could you picture him and Geno togather the Terror they could cause ^.^

With that being said I'm happy we finally have a Elite DT.

He's a Bengal and talking heads don't know anything about most of our players?Him making probowl (even as alt) I'd say was pretty impressive knowing wasn't fans vote that got him in but his Peers & Coaches.

I love Geno, but I think Bleacher Report might have overrated his run defense a bit there. I think he'll improve in that regard, but he definitely has a lot of room for it.

If there's one thing about Marvin I like, it's his ability to draft/recognize defensive talent.

Now if only he can get a linebacker that sticks. *beats drum*

Reportedly they like Upshaw at 21, but IMO there's no chance in hell he will be there. Nor at 17, unfortunately. He'd be a tremendous pickup.

My guess at this point is that they are hoping for Muck and Moch to step up.

That would be my guess as well.

I really don't see them going LB until later unless someone falls into their lap they didn't expect to be there.
