3-4 DE Michael Brockers

[everlong]

I believe it takes D Linemen about 30 weeks or so for D Linemen to fully figure it out up front and from then on you see just how high their ceiling is. I think both Brockers and Cox would really struggle to contribute as solid NFL 3-4 DE's in their first year. However once they put it all together, they should have outstanding careers, if healthy.

Poe I see as a 3-4 NT or 4-3 DT. Yes he is athletic, but his tape is poor. Lots of plays taken off and he plays so high, RB's are pancaking him. Leave Poe for the Jets.

I fully expect both to be gone long before #27, but this draft is getting crazy, probably due to the lack of red chip talent. I think we will see an inordinate number of late risers in this draft. Gilmore, Taneyhill and Floyd just to name a few.

Agree with everything you're saying and I've echoed it myself. I don't expect them to drop to 27. I would love to see them package 27+31 for some pick in the late teens + some pick in the early 40's if one of them makes it that far.
