AWESOME! This is what quite a few of us were hoping for, including BFT draft expert Bill Wunkle. Shelton is an immediate upgrade and will take our defense from 32nd against the run to a group you don’t want to try and run against.
Shelton lifts Goodell into the air Phil Taylor is one of the best nose tackles in the league, and has a great work ethic and is a fantastic team leader; unfortunately he cannot be counted on to stay healthy. This was a necessary move.
And I can only imagine the sets Pettine can dream up with Taylor and Shelton making up a two man line. I’d expect a steady dose of that on third and long.
Taylor’s contract only lasts 1 more season. Still I don’t mind at all shifting Taylor over to strong side DE next to Shelton. Our LB’s were forced to make way too many tackles in the run game last year. If Shelton only gets one tackle a game but eats up two blockers on every play then our defense will be much improved.
I can’t recall Phil Taylor ever playing the month of December.
I really like this pick.
Also, hopefully, he will use the same move that he is using on Goodell on Turdburger.
Hue Jackson is a loser.
Not only will Shelton help stuff the run, but he’ll also collapse the pocket and drive the center back towards the opposing QB; thus giving the passer less room to step up into the pocket when trying to throw the football. This is immediate pressure in the QB’s face. I love the pick . . . not because it made me look good, but rather because this is a three down NT with a big butt and a high running motor that will pay immediate dividends for Cleveland.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
