People get all enamored with stats versus stuff you don’t get put in the books for... tell me, how is “sack daddy” doing again?
 
My biggest problem ain't the production but like Edgar said: plan (and bend).
Let's call it a day, sleep it over and hope some decent OL falls to rd3 (Radunz, David Moore, Banks, Sp.Brown)

If anyone can get the most out of an athletic freak, in our defense, it’ll be Wink

And to hell with run defense. We have a bunch of guys who can defend against the run and no one pressuring the qb. If he actually develops we will give teams PROBLEMS. I like the pick.

Here is the thing about people who have terrible numbers. If you are not performing in a lesser league, why? I get that being able perform in a lesser league does not guarantee that you will do well in NFL, but if you are not getting it done in college there had better be a really good reason why. Not being able to perform in college is more of a red flag then performing in college is a green light.

So we don't pick again until Picks 94 & 104 tomorrow... I don't think we are landing Dickerson or Humphrey at that point.

I’m surprised we went Oweh but not mad. It’s certainly a risk but those measurables are insane. We typically pick the ultra productive but athletically limited edge guys, so we went the opposite this time and I’m excited to see how it goes.

We took an edge who led in sacks and hasn't done shit. If we're going to take someone who can't get home at least let them be athletic.

Please, not even comparable, jaylon played in conference USA. Might as well been sacking middle schoolers

Because coaches can’t always unlock their less refined players, it may take a few years of maturing for something to click mentally for them, lots of reasons, there have been a lot of “better pro than college player” prospects over the years, the situation matters

dude's just raw - not a red flag at all - and it's not like he didnt produce at all - just had 0 sacks in a shortened season in 2020...

For those quoting 0 sacks, watch the tape and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Tape is much better than the stat book indicates. He’s certainly not perfect and is going to need some work, but there are a ton of flashes as well.
