Quote:Lets be realistic, he was not making the team, also, it was an ACL. I know everyone is freaking out because Ramsey, but Ramsey may miss a month or two. Woodward was a 7th round pick and had an uphill battle to make the team. If anything, we can stash him on the injured reserve and see what he can do next year. We have a lot of bodies at the pass rush position now. 

 

Everyone chill out. However, stinks for Woodward, hope he has a successful recovery. 

Doesn't he and the team that spent untold hours scouting him deserve to be able to let that play out first before you say he was just a 7th round pick?

 

A hypothetical 6th round pick doesn't stand much more of a chance to make a relatively talented roster than a 7th round pick.  But that doesn't mean, absent a significant injury, he can't have a significant career.  Tom Brady worked out pretty well.  Richard Dent wound up in the Hall of Fame, and he was an 8th rounder.

 

Considering we have not a single proven player at LEO, the team has seriously pursued two free agents to fill that role, and spent no fewer than 4 draft choices at the position the last two drafts, I don't think we can dismiss the possibility of anybody making the roster at this position.
