Charles Harris DE Mizzou

This is what we need off of the edge. He will need to bulk up a little but he is crazy fast off the edge. Currently 6th ranked DE on Mel's board.

I have a feeling Detroit takes him. They have the same needs as us.

He lacks length and bulk for my liking to play with his hand down in the NFL. Don't get me wrong, he's better than what we have as a pass rusher, but don't love him as much as most.

Imo weight is not a big issue.Harris is 255 right now and could add 10 more.remember we really liked Leonard Floyd and he was not 255 at draft time.he has quickness and first step I like in a RDE.

With most of these kids, it's not necessarily BULK they need to add - it's big boy STRENGTH. The last few years of Michael Strahan's career, he played at 255.....and, that was at LDE. Hell, Jason Taylor was around 245 most of his career - and that was on a 6'6" frame.

I think 255 is fine for most of these 6'3" guys.

He's plenty big I think. He just doesn't have the burst I like. He plays like he's 275.

What are you watching? I see the total opposite. Looks like a young Freeney to me (shrugs).

Take for what it is worth but McShay said that if he bulks up watch out. He really likes him.
