Ok, and one of these DE's probably wouldnt have been in on first down. Dont get all scientific about it. ITs not a sexy pick, but its 100% our biggest need. If this kid can come in and play two downs and clog up the run its what we have never had and needed the most.
That is the key right there why some don't like it. It is not sexy or flashy. However if they did go sexy or flashy, those same ones would say Jerry blew it, they should have went with X player.

He is still learning as well, as the media guys on ESPN said he has room to grow, and if he can get a push on pass rushing plays, he may become a good pass rusher as well.
Quinn will get him going in the right direction, and Micah already saying come on in and help get us to a SB. Welcome to a talented defense.
