2025 Draft: EDGE

Lance Zierlein, the guy who does the NFL.com draft rankings just tweeted that he's giving Bradyn Swinson a borderline first round grade. finally some


Too bad; I was hoping to get him in the late-3rd/early-4th area
 
Meanwhile barring some dirt coming out in the next 2 months my boy is a lock for the top 10



This recent interview is a nice peak into his personality. Seems surprisingly pretty humble.

Would you double dip at EDGE @4 and 38? Let's say we have a LT and WR in free agency and Abdul Carter is on the board at 4. Would you draft a Jack Sawyer or Ezeiruaku at 38? Maybe even James Pierce (he didn't make it into DJ's first round mock), Scourton or Princely are on the board at 38 too.

Carter and Sawyer would make sense to me. You get the pure edge rusher and the stronger edge setter together, an edge setter that can rush the passer too. This would allow you to rotate them with Keion White who moves inside on passing downs.

Uh Yeah Duh! Lol

The deeper follow-up questions are who in your mind are the pure rushers vs the edge setters? Are there some that are interchangeable? Does it matter knowing we have Keion?

In my scenario, Carter would be the pure rusher and would play most snaps as befits his 4th overall pick. White would play inside more often than not except on obvious rushing downs and Sawyer would play the edge setter at LDE. But all three could rotate to give them a break.
 
I guess i meant in terms of other options in case neither are available?

JT Tuimoloau would make a good edge setter and then you could grab Mike Green in the first after a trade back. Or Ezeiruaku at 38, Jared Ivey/Elijah Roberts in the 3rd. Or you could just go full binky for me and take Bradyn Swinson at 69 and Elijah Roberts at 77

Yeah I'm just trying to see what the best combo would be since there's such an overwhelming crop at the position.

I want a pass rusher on one end and then a bigger guy on the other end with White rotating between all 2 and DT. One of these pass rushers may take some time to develop so in that instance White would start and the draft pick would rotate in.

Carter-Sawyer/Tuimoloau would be my no 1.
2. Ezeiruaku-Ivey/Elijah Roberts

Here's a crazy one for you. Pick swap with Cincy for Tee Higgins assuming they can't agree on a long-term deal and then Mykel Williams - James Pearce. I actually really like this option.

This team has so many needs at so many places... I just can't justify using both 4 & 38 on one position, even if by some miracle this FO acquires a starting-caliber talent at both Left Tackle & Outside Receiver during the free agency period before the draft...
