Report claims Jets were going to select DE/OLB Bruce Irvin if Seattle did not - Page 2 - Jets Insider.com Forums

Report also said the 49ers, Ravens, and a few other 3-4 defensive teams would have drafted Irvin.

[QUOTE]Per CBS Sports' Rob Rang, the 49ers, Jets, and Ravens all would have taken Bruce Irvin in the first round had he made it to their pick.
Those are some pretty good-drafting teams. Profootballtalk.com reported late Thursday that as many as seven teams had Irvin as a top-15 overall player on their draft boards. The Irvin pick has been panned as a reach, and ESPN's Mel Kiper called it "mind boggling" after Seattle executed the selection. Kiper has never worked in the league, though, and the NFL vehemently disagrees.[/QUOTE]

lie

reach pick by SEA

no one BUT Seattle wanted him Round One

the best thing about that report is they said 3-4 teams IRVIN is too small to be a 3-4 OLB and has no runstop or coverage skills - NONE
