Weakside pass rusher?

My binkie, Austen Lane.

I vote Hughes if I had the choice.

If we were to find Greg Hardy in the late second or third would be fine with me.

Dunlap and Lane are the two pass rushers I'd really like to get at this point, especially with Romeus staying in school.

I like Dunlap's upside, and I was also interested in Romeus.

Any other's you like?

Jason Pierre-Paul has a lot of upside but is very raw and somewhat uncoordinated right now. I'd consider him in the 2nd, but someone will probably reach in the 1st.

Jeremy Beal from Oklahoma would be interesting, if he declares, but that doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Yeah, JPP is raw. Very gangly, he can't really control his body that well.

That's what I really like about Lane. From what little I've been able to see and tell, he seems to have terrific body control and agility given his length, strength and speed.

I think JPP is 50-50 as to whether he becomes a Javon Kearse or a Jarvis Moss. That's too risky for me in the 1st round.

Sergio Kindle, no doubt in my mind that he's the most polished 3-4 olb prospect in the draft and he has experience playing with his hand in the ground and droping back into coverage. His performance against the Bama opine in the nc game was good so I see the type of player that will rise in big games.

You hit the nail on the head on both subjects IMO.

If Sapp runs a 4.5 then I think BB should take him, but in the second round only, since Sapp will be a 1 down pass rush demon/ST player.

If Lane runs a 4.5 then BB should bring him in for a visit and get a thorough examination of his skills.

Jarvis Moss may have developed as an OLB. He was a fail as a DE. In fact, McDaniels/Nolan haven't felt the need to cut him yet, so they may feel he still has some potential. Anthony Spencer, from the same draft, took two-and-a-half years in a 3-4 to finally start to shine.

 

[JoeShmoe]

I'd vvote Lane becuase no-one really stands out - there all prospects

Also if we could get him in the 2nd that frees up other picks for the needs we have on the OL/DL

Denver was reportedly offering Moss last spring for a 7th round pick and I suggested picking him up, and was generally ridiculed.

My argument at the time was that the cost was cheap, he had a lot of athleticism coming out, and it was worth a shot. As you say, it takes time.

Similarly, it's being rumored that Quentin Groves will likely be cut by Jacksonville this offseason. Many wanted to trade up to get him in 2008. I'd be happy to pick him up cheaply and let him fight it out with Crable, Nikovich and Bruce Davis.

The good news is that all the guys on your list are good talents. I think Jerry Hughes would be the best but if we can get one of those guys with a first or second round pick I will be happy.

And you're still goofy. (It's not like he'd have done anything for NE this season, and he's playing in that "other" 3-4, so even if he's making the transition to OLB, it's no guarantee he'd be a fit here.)

 

[BradyMossWelker]

Jerry Hughes or Sergio Kindle.

Jerry hughes would be the best, I think we will have like 8 sacks in the NFL next season and will be a candidate to the ROTY

If that's the worst anyone calls me, I'll be lucky.

I think it would've been worth it for a 7th round pick. Moss was highly touted as a guy with great pass rushing ability and athleticism when he was coming out. I don't know see what the big risk is trading a 7th rounder for a guy who came out in the 1st and could use a change of scenery. You're not going to find an Edelman-type impact player in the 7th round most of the time, so I would've taken the chance with our issue at OLB.

somebody sell me on Jerry Hughes, ok he had like 11 sacks but honestly, English was a better prospect coming out last year and they seem similar to me. Neither played against top competiton and both put up big numbers against lesser teams (5 of Hughes 11 sacks came against texas state and colorado state) both are undersized at about 6'1 for Hughes. Why Jerry Hughes over Sergio Kindle? I was impressed with Kindle against the Bama Oline but the Boise Oline shut Hughes down.
