Damn, maybe Geathers is the future.

He beats both these foos in about every category

Or maybe it shows why you have to be careful about judging players based on measurables.

I saw an interesting comparison of Brockers and Cox today reviewing their games against Alabama. Brockers was doubled-teamed 30 times in his game while Cox was only double-teamed 8 times. Brockers value lies not as much in his own stats as it is in his ability to take on the double team to allow others to make the play.

Brockers may not even be an option at 14. I've seen a couple of reports today stating that multiple teams in the top ten have interest in him.

I saw this mentioned on Twitter. Very interesting fact if you ask me. Brockers did a very good job at handling those double teams as well.

Is a space eating 5-technique worth the #14 pick?

Run-stuffing 3-4 DE's aren't hard to find. 5-technique's with pass rushing ability are.
