FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | SackSEER 2014
Who is their number one potential pass rusher? Well it's not Clowney.
In terms of potential pass rushers for the Patriots, the system likes Kony Ealy, Trent Murphy, Jackson Jeffcoat and somewhat surprisingly (pleasantly), Kyle Van Noy. It also likes Kareem Martin as a projection.
If we want a pass rusher out of this draft, this system only serves to back up the conclusion I've already come to. We'll need to find that pass rusher within the first two rounds because there's no great depth this year.

NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock caused a minor controversy by stating that he would select Khalil Mack over Jadeveon Clowney, the most hyped defensive end prospect in the past decade. Well, Mayock has SackSEER in his corner, as Mack bests not only Clowney, but every 4-3 defensive end and 3-4 outside linebacker ever in the SackSEER projection system. Without the benefit of hindsight, SackSEER projection would slightly prefer Mack over Julius Peppers and Jevon Kearse (who have now been bumped down to the second- and third-highest projections on SackSEER’s all-time best list).
