I didn't know who that was until I saw the Illinois Football clue. I just don't know about Jacas. not great pass rushing numbers* but there is a lot to like in terms of character, strength.

* Hold up! I think I dismissed him as an edge rusher mid-season but he had 7 sacks in the last 4 games to finish the year with 12, the same as Howell and Bain and Jacas didn't have the playoffs.

He was moved around a bit on their defense. Played some DE on a 3 man front out of team necessity for a bit. Big dude with no character concerns I know of. Built like a damn cyborg.

R Mason Thomas was Kadyn Proctor's toughest opponent.

 

[manxman2601]

I'm not saying 3/100ths of a second is big, but Eliot Wolf specifically mentioned explosive get off for an edge rusher. TJ Parker had a 1.60 10 yard split.

RAS comps for Dani Dennis-Sutton. Is this good?

 

[mayoclinic]

Jevon Kearse a really good comp. Dennis-Sutton looks cut high a bit like Kearse.

 

[mayoclinic]

A DL with Odafe Oweh and Dani Dennis-Sutton on the edges and Milt Williams and Christian Barmore inside would be overwhelming with raw athleticism.

This makes me want DDS on the Pats even more




I think Lou anarumo is gonna want this kid

 

[dliverey44]

What's impressive about the speed move around the LT is that Bain is 273#. As Doug Farar notes, moves like a 240# speed rusher.

I'm torn between Bain and Faulk, would still take Peter Woods above either, would would be ecstatic with any of the above.

I really hope that Bain drops down the board because of his arm length. I know it won't happen, but I would love that so much

Bain does a lot of power rushes. Is that common with guys that have shorter arms?

Good get off. Gets in to the tackles chest before they can react.

DDS said that his pass rush plan starts with speed to power, I felt like we lacked that last year on the edge. Chaisson is a speed guy, I prefer guys that are able to win with a bull rush, but are able to use other moves when needed. I am leery about guys like Bonito that are primarily speed rushers.

I am not saying speed rushers cannot be good but I think they are predictable. Bonito has been amazing but I think he is the exception and not the rule. My opinion on Chaisson is that he is not strong enough to fight through contact, so if just speed isn't working he is kinda stuck and becomes a "try hard" guy because he has a high motor.

I wonder how high DDS ends up going. Is he gettable at 63 or does he get backto the high 2nd or bottom of the first?

I can't see him going in the first.
Just look at the names and it's hard to imagine 32 guys, regardless of position not going before him.
If I had to guess, I would think he's available at 63 as of today.

I think that he is going top 50 because after that athletic performance and his back to back 8.5 sack seasons. I imagine that he will do very well in all of his interviews and will endear himself to teams.

 

[mayoclinic]

Gettable at 63 is my guess.

They can't all go 1st round.

If the Pats got Rodriguez and Jacas in the 1st two rounds, I'd be ecstatic..
