Anybody else find themselves coming around on Bosa? The more I read, the more I feel this guy is somehow getting underrated. It doesn't seem to be hurting his public draft projections, but he's universally listed as a top-5 player and he's pretty much the guy nobody seems to want. The more it goes on, the more it gets me thinking he's a value player who's not getting respect because he lacks flash in terms of sack numbers. It's kind of got me rooting for him, Ohio State or no.
I think the main issue some have is with picking him at #4 and relative to other draft classes people are expecting elite or premium edge rushers with respect to picking a DE at that spot.
The problem appears to be with respect to this particular draft class, Bosa is the most complete DE prospect but also lacks elite edge rush ability.
This does not suggest that he lacks rush ability categorically, just elite edge rush ability.
I agree with Brugler that Spence is the best pure edge rusher in this class but that Bosa is the better overall player and DE prospect.
I agree with Brugler to the extent that Bosa is disruptive even without elite edge ability and has excellent technique as well.
I have mixed feelings on the player overall, I see his ability to be disruptive and his technique ability but I wonder how this translates to NFL caliber OL using their counter moves.
Further, it is hard to get around a prospect at #4 not having elite or premium edge rush ability regardless and I completely understand this is draft relative!
I like the player, I just do not love the player, I want to love the player @4.
). We have Gregory who is actually more of the talent we need off the edge and allows Lawrence to continue his development @ LE. Screams need pick to me and short term thinking.
