Oh man, if he falls to our pick we have to take him. Talk about the perfect fit for our need. This guy reminds me so much of Shaun Phillips, Phillips is a guy I wanted badly when he was drafted.

Talk about an edge rusher on 3rd downs.

I know people want the TE, but I really think Finley and Rucker could be there later.

We need to fill that 4th DE spot and if Avril is there we should get him. Best thing about it, he rushed from the left side, which is what we need.

Here is some video..

A lot of those highlights were 4 or 5 seconds into the play. He's got a good second effort, but does he ever beat anybody cleanly?

No argument there. I think the Bills will definitely consider him if he's available. They could always trade up from pick 114 if they were worried about a TE falling through the third.

We already have Denney. Tall, lanky, lightweight. What do we need another one-down DE for?

Not criticizing, just asking.

He also had 15 (30 the last 2 years) tackles for loss last year, which is more than Derrick Harvey.

Well, Denny's one down (1st) is the opposite to Avril's one down (3rd).

He tries really really hard. AND he eats every vegetable on his plate. What's not to love?
