If only our franchise would take hin with his off the field issues
he will probably be there when we are picking
If only our franchise would take hin with his off the field issues
our franchise has no problems with guys with off-field issues - just DV issues
Sweat's was a weed problem that he's 3 seasons removed from iirc - id assume that would be a subject of any interview we had with him as a prospect
i dont know if sweat makes it out of the top 20 anyway
Per Schefter:
Mississippi State’s 6-foot-6, 260-pound DE Montez Sweat officially ran the 40 in 4.41 seconds.
Fastest time any defensive lineman ever has run at the combine.

This is random but over the last 3-4 years I think no pass rusher picked in the 20ties has done well so far.

I HEREBY CHRISTEN THY OVERRATED 40 TIME AS A TOP 10 PICK....
Though he is a good prospect......
im assuming you mean edge rushers - ill do the last 5 years for posterity - all the guys who would still be on rookie contracts/just finished them:
- 2018: no edge rushers taken in the 20s
- 2017: Charles Harris, Takk Mckinley, Taco Charlton - Charles Harris and Taco Charlton have been awful (not to toot my own trumpet too much but i didnt like either of them as prospects) - takk mckinley has been pretty good - 13 sacks in 2 seasons is pretty decent to begin a career and a lot of additional pressures on top of that - it is interesting to your point that TJ Watt was taken at 30 lol
- 2016: no edge rushers taken in the 20s
- 2015: Bud Dupree, Shane Ray - Ray busted due to injury but in his one healthy season ended up with 8 sacks - so not ideal but not a bad player just unavailable, Dupree is a consistent solid starter who like clockwork gets around 5 sacks a year - has been better the last couple of years but unspectacular
- 2014: Dee Ford - who's been phenomenal and is probably (along with demarcus lawrence) about to set the market for edge rushers or at least come close to von miller money
i think some of your impression has come from the fact that in 2 of the last 5 years no edge rushers were taken in the 20s
it's also fair to say that out of the 6 who were taken that only one has emerged as a legitimate noteworthy playmaker - and he's about to get a huge contract - i think takk's got a chance to turn into something dominant but for the most part you're right it's a group of players noteworthy for being unnoteworthy
which is interesting but ultimately meaningless lol
i mean he wouldnt necessarily be completely unworthy of that - it's not like a john ross type situation

I appreciate your research. thanks.
I only thought of Taco, Harris, Dupree and Ray. This explains a lot lol. I haven't watched much tape on edge rushers yet. But would it make sense to draft one in the first (Sweat) and then later draft a WR or two, this is of course only if the board falls that way.

That's bad for Josh Allen.

future Breaking News: will be some sort of injury getting onto the plane that knocks them out for 6 months.

Tbh that's not that bad. I'm thinking Allen is overrated anyways.

That’s shocking as hell because he doesn’t look that fast on film. I bet he bombs the flexibility and agility drills. Either way I like him, he’s a very refined rusher

Value wise I think he belongs in the 10-20 range, I think he’s a really underrated rusher because he doesn’t look explosive, if he crushes the broad jump and the agility drills then I think it might look like they had him on the wrong conditioning program at MsSt.
he just went 7.00 flat in the 3 cone which is also pretty damn good
