I think the general consensus is that this year's draft class for Nose Tackle is not very good or very deep. The prevailing wisdom seems to be to find a stopgap for a year and then nab Big Snack's successor next year - like what happened after Steed retired by taking Clancy then moving Kimo over to NT before Hampton arrived.
My question is simply: is there that prospect in 2013 at NT that really wows you? Can he be the next franchise Nose Tackle? Who are the best guys in the next class at this position?

The two premium NT's that will be in next year's draft are: Jonathan Hankins - Ohio State Kwame Geathers - Georgia
Both are Juniors that should come out a year early. Planet theory is always true when it comes to NT's. There are very few players that fit the mold in every draft, and that is why the elite ones still carry a 1st round grade despite it becoming a passing league.
