Good point about Barton. It is possible he could drop to the Jags in round 2. I don't have anything against Van Pran, but he is more of the athletic, zone blocker type and some say he may lack the necessary strength to take on the best nose tackles. I do like his experience and he seems to have a high football IQ which would enable him to start quickly. Of course, Fortner also has the high mental acumen and we know how that worked out!

We run a zone blocking scheme.  What makes you think he lacks the strength to take on some of the top NT's?  Something you have seen watching Georgia games?  I dont recall him getting pushed around.

Just a LB'er here but its something i have never seen from Fortner regardless of who he is blocking. Cant think of one time i actually seen Fortner block someone into the dirt
