Watt vs Jordan....Nearly identical
Lets review some combine stats of DL...which includes the DEs projected as NFL OLBs
57 players participated, in some/all measurables/drills.
JJ Watt
Event/Rank/participation
Height 6'5 3/8" 2nd tallest out of 57 measured....2/57
Weight 290 lb .....25th/57
Arm 34"........12th (tied)/57
Hands 11 1/8"...1st (tie)/57...Cam Jordan
40 4.84....15th/48
Bench 34 reps....5th/46
Vert 37".......2nd/49 ..........246 lb Moch #1
Long Jmp 10'0"....2nd/46.........246 lb Moch #1
20 yd shuttle 4.21...2/47.........Clayborn #1......impressive
3 cone 6.88...2nd (tie)/47........Acho #1
Cameron Jordan
6"4 1/8"
287 lb
35"
11 1/8"
4.78
25 reps
31"
9"11"

I'm giving Watt the physical edge....both strength and quickness.
Tape shows a guy that plays with athleticism and passion.
Watt is my guy. Strong big hands that can take down a QB with arm tackles. Extraordinary leaping ability combined with length to disrupt passing lanes. (Jumping ability means explosion off line). Initially, Watt is my 3rd down rusher....who eventually slides into 3 down DL. There is no player on the current roster with his physical makeup, a skill set that can get to the QB from the interior. Think about Wilfork....gets the penetration but physically can't finish off an attack on the QB. Combine these two, add Wright into the mix, and we now have big guys that present issues for the OL. I can't tell you how frustrated I get watching the DL lockup with the OL on 3rd down passing plays. Time for the big guys to factor in the pass rush.

In my ideal "Let's get this D straightened out" draft...
1A...Watt
1B...Wilkerson
2A...Sheard
