You mean, besides height & weight?What about them do you compare? Curious.

Bill's already tried a Christian Miller-type here with Derek Rivers, and that has proven to be a miserable failure.
Yeah. They're pretty different in terms of style, production, level of completion, injury history, etc. I miss stuff all the time, though, so I probably overlooked something, but I never would have equated them.
I'm also interested in what you think are the contributing factors to why Rivers has failed so far. Injury? Size? Technique deficiency? Obviously he's been a disappointment, but I'm a little more optimistic on his future than camp cut. I think he gets one more year.
The 3 I like not just as pass rushers but as football players was Burns Winovich and Sutton Smith. Smith looks like a defensive Edelman.I agree on Polite, Burns, and Winovich. Those are the top edge prospects that I've seen thus far. (Not a fan of Allen, Gary, or Sweat).
Edit: I meant not a fan of Josh Allen. I do like Zach Allen, but he's not a pure edge guy. More of a strong end guy, which is honestly a big need for this team. Could replace John Simon.

His size for a 4-3 DE was too light; he could've possibly been ok at 3-4 OLB pre-2012...and his production vs a weaker level of competition obscured his ability (or, in his case, his lack of ability) to translate that success to the NFL.I'm also interested in what you think are the contributing factors to why Rivers has failed so far.

He definitely will be given this coming season at least to try to figure out what if anything he can do to turn around his career here.
This guy gets it. Perfect comparison.

I don't think we will take Zach Allen. I think we will value others higher at 32 and I don't see him being there at 56,64 or 73.
Nobody does as good a job of finding a role for “tweeners” then bb.
I actually think we can get him at 56 since a lot of teams will struggle to understand how to use him.
