I do think that Lane out of Texas A&M is a great idea for somewhere in the 6th or 7th round. Really like the idea of him on first & goal.

Why would we spend a draft pick on a 300 lb RB. He came into this year knowing he had to work hard and make an impression on NFL scouts as a FB in order to get drafted. And then with all the motivation in the world, he actually went backwards and gained weight and had his worst season. You don't draft guys with no work ethic and limited upside.

If you want to sign him as a UFA I say fine, since their is no risk. But why throw away a pick on a guy who couldn't even be committed in college.

Because he went to A&M. Duh.

I might be willing to give it a shot in the 7th round. Even as a UT fan, Lane's always frustrated the hell out of me. I wonder if he wouldn't have been batter off going to DE like Melton did at Texas. I know he was asked to lose weight at A&M and gained it instead. My guess is there will be some questions about his attitude and work ethic going to the NFL.

The more games we win the further down the ladder at draft day we are falling. What used to be 8+ has now dropped to 13 and falling. The premium players are more than likely gone by now. WalterFootball has us taking William Moore, but 2 slots following us is Brandon Spikes. He is a MLB, and could be a good one. I believe this defense is 1-2 players away from jelling.

Question: Can DeMeco move to OLB effectively? And, Do you guys think Brandon Spikes could be one of our answers?
