There is no player I want less at 4, I'd rather draft Tunsil.
Bosa is not Greg Ellis. Only Broaddus is dumb enough to even say that. Remember, there's a reason he's on the radio and not in the war rooms any more. Even Brugler, his buddy, laughed the first time he said that.
Everyone who follows the draft had Bosa among the top 2 or 3 players in the entire draft when the season ended. It's only after all this over analysis brought about by the media needing to generate clicks for 4 months has Bosa fallen, and even then he's only fallen in the minds of some fans.
More busts and misses are created by believing what you see from players running in underwear instead of what you saw from players actually, I don't know, playing football.
It will be interesting on what they will do if Bosa,JR and EE are all there at 4,would they even consider a small trade and and still get one of the 3 or take the top player on their board.
my fear bosa is another bobby carpenter
Because he's white, or because of the pedigree?
My only problem with bosa is his drug history and now I'm hearing rumors he pulled a Randy Gregory and failed a drug test at the combine. I remember in October/November last year this guy was being compared to JJ Watt.. He took double and triple teams in college.. I dunno man the drugs issues scare me..

Bosa is not a reach at 4, he would be a reach if the consensus was he should go in the teens. Then I hear he is only so high on the boards because it is a bad year for 4-3 DE's.
This is not how they rank players, they score them, they don't say hey no DE's in this draft so we need to rank Bosa higher.
He is a consensus top 5 pick.
You may disagree and have your own opinion, but there is not much disagreement from the experts that he is a top 5 player.
We reached for Ellis @ 8, now we're thinking of taking a similar player in Bosa @ 4. He better have the character Ellis had (that is questionable; don't you dare think of getting busted). Not thrilling tbh but would love the pick if we were in the 15 range instead of 4th overall. Hope to trade down w/Tunsil there and get another 2nd/1st next year depending on how far we drop and get Lawson/Lynch or Joseph in the late 1st. Then you can look @ Dodd/Henry/DL-BPA @ 34, etc.
Ellis didn't have the power game, the gamut of moves, the ability to get off blocks, or the explosiveness off the line of Bosa. Ellis played weakside and tried to dip through over and again.
Other than the good not great emotional generalization or baseless predictions about future production can you name anything about Greg Ellis that is similar to Joey Bosa?
They both don't play RE and aren't great pass rushers?
