Joshua Farmer Draft and Combine Prospect Profile | NFL.com

Broad-shouldered interior defender worth consideration as a 3-4 end or a 4-3 interior lineman. Farmer needs to play as a two-gapper who muddies the pocket. He’s powerful, with long arms and strong hands. His anchor is average but should improve if he’s allowed to use that length to gain early control at the point of attack. There is nothing tricky about his rush, but he can jar blockers backward with a single punch. His traits will be coveted but his upside might be as a rotational defender with average starting potential.

Looks like a Godchaux replacement.

Great depth/insurance behind Williams and barmore. Pats are crushing this draft.

 

[imahobgoblin]

He was my Binkie.

Looks like a Godchaux replacement.

Not at all. He is much more disruptive and has a pass rush upside. Godchaux was a lump.

Its pretty funny that his comp is Barmore.

Why are draft-day trades so hard to track?? They traded up into the 4th to take Farmer. What was the trade?

Quality rotational DT behind Barmore and Milton....Check

Traded a 5th (#144) and 7th (#238) to move up seven spots to draft Farmer.

You won't find many people who cared less for Godchaux than I did so I am happy to hear he has something to offer as a pass rusher. That was always my issue with Godchaux. He was so one dimensional and our run defense wasn't even good. Hope Farmer works in as a rotational D-linemen with Barmore and Williams.

I was just thinking Godchaux was his comp.

Godchaux didn't exactly get a lot of help on that defensive line and with Bently out it wasn't completely his fault that he run defense went to ****.

? Barmore is a penetrating DT who has improved in the run game.

The Edge player many of us had coveted looking at the Day Three pool.
Farmer plus Swinson provides some good depth on DL.
And both terrific value as well.
Awesome draft.

A kicker maybe?

That is who Josh Farmer is as well. Farmer is not Godchaux.

Godchaux was lazy and as dumb as a rock. The D gave up over 140 yards rushing to the Chargers and the fool said he thought the run D played well.
