Nose tackle prospects.

Who do you guys like? I'm an amateur draftubator and trying to differentiate the 3 tech types vs true 0 or 1 guys.

I've been saying it for awhile now, Mazi Smith feels like our 1st rd pick to me.

I struggle with this. It makes some sense to have an athletic anchor, but I think an edge makes more sense if they go D in round 1. Unless smith turns it up a fair bit he’s still off the field on rush downs for ends who are kicking inside. Therefore leaving a spot open at end.

I struggle with the same. I think you could make a fair argument for the opposite being true as well. A NT plays 2 downs, then leaves for passing downs. But, we brought in Omenihu to play DE during those downs and kick in for passing plays so it's likely a rookie DE only plays on 3rd down unless he can beat out Omenihu for starting reps. In that case, we're paying Omenihu $10m to play come in and play DT on 3rd down.

So while Drafttek is not the best draft website online, it does do a good job differentiating between the nose tackles and the 3-techs. (It also includes a lot of 3-4 5-techs, who have a ton of overlap as Spags-type DEs.)

Here's Drafttek's listing of NTs, 3-techs, and 5-techs.

Does Spags have an arm length minimum? Benton and Smith are just under 34". Smith is strong as an ox.

It's more height and weight, like Gervon Dexter is a Spags wet dream.

[Direckshun]

Spags is obsessed with arm length, yes.

That's why Zach Harrison will be a Chief.

Zach Harrison has so little production it's weird how much people like him.

Hey, I am the complete opposite of whatever a fan is supposed to be of Zach Harrison. The guy is Tanoh Kpassagnon.

But he has the size, the 36" arms, and Spags is dogmatic in that regard.
