I love interior pressure, cause QBs hate it! But we still need a standout Edge. We can't rely on the blitz like we did in the playoffs. That works to a degree, but we were forced into it in the playoffs and it's not sustainable against high caliber QBs. Good experienced QBs eat the blitz alive...

People that think we are good enough at DE are kidding themselves. They think we can go into the season with this bunch and a late rd pick. I assume those people didn't watch our pass rush last year, or have very bad memories.

Yup, productive for sure. Will that translate to the pros? Obv he played against some good players in the Big10, but he also played against inferior physical players who have played their last down of football after their college careers ended. I could see him really struggling against NFL OTs...

I'm not a big Moore fan. Power player who doesn't offer much athleticism if his power is stopped early in the down.

I have always included Max in my top 7. As are Lomu and Miller. If those 3 are gone and you take the next guy ahead of the 4th rated Edge, then that is a massive fail, and massive reach.

Landry getting healthy, but is he? Even before his injury he dramatically slowed down and looked ineffective. He's not the player he once was, he simply isn't. Yes we signed Jones who has 37.5 sacks in his 108 game career, that's 6 sacks over a 17 game season. Ponder shows promise, but people...

Yes please. Pretty unrealistic however.

I think we can all agree that Drake is far superior passer than Hurts. If AJ came here and had 30% target share with Drake throwing the ball, he very easily could be a 1500 yard WR. PF2 would literally explode, like die and go to heaven!

I have run multiple sims too, like literally hundreds. I agree with what you are saying regarding those sims, however those are all based on census "expert" rankings. We see it every year, actual NFL teams rankings are way different than those so called "consensus" rankings. There very easily...

He was serviceable at RT, but he is a far better OG. So is it possible.... Well let's say Rutledge is BPA at 31 and we take him, only way I could see Owenu at RT is if Moses abruptly retired in camp.

I read an article weeks ago and Clowney has nothing but praise for Vrabs. Question is if Vrabs feels the same way.

Got it. In that scenario we should be definitely looking at Edge, unless there's a crazy run. Then I would be looking at LB first, maybe Safety if one slips. WR only if AJ isn't happening.

Very reasonable. 8.5 sacks in 13 games last year and limited snaps. That is extreme value. If for some reason we wait on Edge and get a developmental prospect, I would be calling Clowney's agent 5 mins after the draft.

You think taking Miller or Iheanachor at 31 is unlikely? Or you think it's unlikely they are there? If those 3 mentioned aren't there, then yes I agree 3rd seems to be the spot, unless they absolutely love someone like Burke and he's there at the end of rd 2.

They are outliers in that they were drafted late or not all and went on to be good NFL players. Ponder is a wait and see, but Judon most certainly is an exception as a real good rusher as a 5th rd pick. He is most most definitely an outlier.

You are using the outliers. Mailata was a 7th rd pick. These are exceptions, not the rule. There will be Edges available later, and historically they won't be very good. You run no less of a risk getting a good Edge later than you do an OT.

That's a direct result of snaps. Diggs was managed and played far fewer snaps than an average #1. Diggs had 598 snaps, 55% of the teams offensive snaps. 103 targets which means he was targeted 17% of the snaps he played. AJ had 121 targets on 843 snaps. So he was targeted on 14% of the snaps he...

How is that a result of the team? Pass rushers have one on one matchups as often as any position. Of course guys like Myles or Anderson will be chipped or doubled, but the majority of Edges have to beat the single guy they are going against more often than not That has nothing to do with team...

I will be disappointed if we exit the first 2 without an Edge. If that takes a slight trade-up in rd 2, then I am on-board. We do have needs at several positions, so we better have a fallback plan if we can't land a good Edge. I still like Clowney on a one year deal. Good in both phases of the...

I have read your posts, we agree. We shouldn't reach for an OT if Iheanachor, Miller and Lomu are gone (assuming we have first rd grades on those guys). We have legit needs at many spots. If the aforementioned are gone, we most definitely should't reach for an OT, and I can't imagine we will. I...
