***Day Three Draft Thread***

Good pick

 

[Sydla]

Jacksonville is dominating this draft on defense IMO.

Ramsey, Jack and Day.

 

[TheFinisher]

Great Pick.

That DL room got better this weekend.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Ourlads had Tapper as a 2nd rounder.

As a Sooner follower I applaud the pick, Tapper flashed often despite being a 4-3 type DE in a 3-4 defense,,, and it's hard to rack up sacks in the fast pace Big 12 spread offenses.

 

[NickZepp]

Did anyone just see Tapper chase down Amari Cooper?

Yeah he would do stuff like that or disappear for several games. But again playing out of position and inexperienced player. Could be a great pick.

 

[38 Special]

did they say he ran a 4.5 40?!

Watch him run down Amari Cooper from behind in the second play of the video below.



Tapper has great speed and power, if he can learn to use his hands he'll be a nice player. It does worry me that he is so raw coming out of OU though.

ESPN Steve Muench on Tapper:

Tapper ran the fastest 40 (4.59) out of all the defensive linemen at the scouting combine and posted above-average results in every other test except the bench press. He sets the edge well against the run as he has the length to keep blockers off his frame and the quick hands to disengage once he locates the ball. Tapper is a developing pass-rusher who needs to continue to evolve as a hand fighter, but he got better during the course of his college career. He has the potential to develop into a disruptive edge rusher. -- Steve Muench

 

[zrinkill]

He needs to learn technique and add more to his pass rush repertoire but the guy can move and has a "non-stop motor".

And thats all you can ask for in the 4th.

Okay... that play where he chased down Cooper that they just showed on ESPN... crazy. Reminds me of our tackle (was it Flo? Allen? I forget) chasing down a guy after an INT

If you dont know that was Allen i am taking your fan card....lol. JK

 

[MichaelWinicki]

The difference between this year and prior years is that the Cowboys didn't reach for a small-school physical freak who hasn't played against higher level competition.

Tapper has proven skills.

 

[Ken]

Tapper ran a 4.59 40 yrd dash. I'd be willing to bet that's one of the fastest ever for a guy 270+ lbs.

That highlight of him running that guy down from like 10 yards behind was Larry Allen like...

 

[endersdragon]

Awesome as I haven't heard that. Wasn't it Aderol? For ADD? The NFL is so stupid.

Sounds like prescription (pain killer maybe?) so if he can prove he had it legitimately he doesn't face a suspension.

Larry Allen. Still love watching that play.

Remember when Selvie came off the couch. Tapper may be young and not yet polished but, he puts the shade on Selvie. Look up Boys,
the team is improving as we watch. Get on board or become a Deadskin.

Mammoth hands too. 11.5 inches. And arm length. Not sure how much that can help him but still interesting.

Impressive. I am finally happy with a pick. YAY!

 

[DTown214]

I would love Kolby Listenbee with our next 4th rounder. Dude is a burner that can stretch the defense.

It's been a few years lol! Didn't Free do it once too?

 

[Texas_Pete]

Tapper 6 2 1/2-271lbs.

4.59 Forty.

He has nice size. I wonder how stout is he against the run?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Tapper reminds me of an "Anthony Spencer-type" which ain't all bad.
