if he is the BPA at 12 then we should draft him,not sure why you think Green is a LB because he has never played LB in college.
I understand this take but what happens when teams take neutralize Parsons with double and triple teams and as we've seen, the pass rush nearly disappears? This is the same argument made as to why DeWare never played with another playmaker until the Broncos. I think Overshown gave us a peek at Parsons's true impact with another playmaker on the field. In fact, this isn't much different from fans wanting to sign Osa ( $20-25M ) who's an average run defender AND use 12 on a DT. Never mind we already have a 1st pick DT who also is an average run defender. But we are saying drafting an elite DE to pair with Parsons is an overkill? It's a bit odd....especially since it's much easier to find 1 tech/NT to address our real issue on the interior Dline......run defenders.
They measured him at the Senior Bowl.
PFF 2024 grade for Green is 92.4, 719 snaps .....2nd - 869
guys i really like Nolen and Green will test very well and may go before 12,i can settle for Mcmillan if he drops in that case.
This isn't a reach at all IMO........ Let's not forget, that he dominated the Senior Bowl week going against the big boys ( some are knocking his competition at Marshall )
If Graham is there at 12 you run to podium before Goodell and announce the pick
“BPA” is such drivel and nonsense
Everyone ignore this post and continue speculating about his weight
Marshall plays a 3-4 defense as its base and Green was a stand-up edge ...basically an outside LB. Green is best suited for a 3-4 to where he can be protected by his DL and allow him to use his quickness and athletic ability. I'm not saying he can't play with his hand in the dirt on occasion, but if he is forced to it takes away from what he does best, which is create pressure. Parsons is actually best suited for a 3-4 as well.
Why can't we have both.........they can draft solid 1tech/NT 2nd or 3rd round, same as RB.
OK...but how does signing Osa to a new contract ( as some wanna see ) fix the run defense?
I for one would like to see Osa walk. Too much money for a guy to get you 4 sacks and average run support at best Not to mention he's inconsistent...some games you see him and other games you don't even notice if he's on the field. For 21+ million I would rather have a guy who going to elevate the play of the whole unit or give me Kinlaw or Levi Onwuzurike for half the price.
everyone is hung up on his pressures but that is not everything, at DE we need someone that can do both if we want a championship D. I agree that what looks like his market price is simply too high for what he has produced.
no matter how quick, a small DE like that can be bull rushed and flattened. You just cannot put a 250 lb DE out there anymore except for strictly pass rush.
