Danielle Hunter at 27

Round 2 at 60....absolutely.

Round 1....insanity!

I'm sorry, but hearing that an edge guy plays the run well is a scary reminder of how Greg Ellis was classified after he was drafted in 1998.

Give me the guy who can actually finish the deal rather than a guy who couldn't.

I get your point, but if we landed a Greg Ellis at pick 27, I'd be thrilled!

Me too.

I think drafting Hunter is a projection, for sure. But the team was high on other high reward players, according to reports, such as Brockers, Poe, and our own Tyron Smith or Demarcus Ware at much higher picks no less. What matters with a projection is that they check all the boxes in terms of measurables, work effort, desire, and offer some immediate skill that the team can use so that the player isn't a waste of roster space.

Hunter meets all the requirements, and by all accounts, is a standup guy with 'unlimited upside'.

Give me a guy like that at 27 and I'm OK with it.

Great point. Our scouts love athletic dlinemen, if Hunter had 5-6 sacks then he would be a top 10 pick like Mingo.

I am not a fan of LSU players but the more i watch him the more i think he can be a good pass rusher with proper coaching.He has the frame to add 20 pounds easily and is already very strong and insanely athletic and plays the run extremely well.this will be a high upside pick but we can work him in at LDE while Hardy is out but the future looks good for him.

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane .

I'd be very happy if we drafted a Greg Ellis level player at 27 this year.

Greg Ellis was a very under appreciated player. He was a good starter for a number of years where you could count on him for 7, 8 sacks each year. I get that we judge pass rushers on 10 plus sacks season, but I would absolutely take another Greg Ellis.

I would understand the criticism were it actually true

No one questions his toughness. Just his experience at pass rush.

This is no Bobby Carpenter we're talking about here

This is no Bobby Carpenter we're talking about here

are you sure ?

This is no Bobby Carpenter we're talking about here

are you sure ?

Yes. Very physical, very intense with a high motor.

He is almost the exact opposite of Bobby Carpenter

Absolutely agree with this. He is a guy who may never be more than a 5 sack a year guy and I don't want to spend a first on a 2 down guy.

However, he is a game changer and tone setter those two downs and does have the physical ability to be an RDE rusher. I would gladly drop a late second for that

 

[Bluefin]

Too early... I prefer O.O.

I'd be very interested to see how Owamagbe Odighizuwa would perform in Rod Marinelli's scheme.

He's got the athleticism and effort, how much did playing as a 3-4 DE hold back his production with UCLA?

And his left hip has to check out medically.

Greg Ellis was a beast when Parcells got here.


In my personal opinion, the year he tore his Achilles and came back 3 or 4 games into the season, I think he took steroids to speed up that recovery.


That Greg Ellis that was rushing as a 3-4 OLB was insane.

 

[sureletsrace]

I'd take him in the 2nd based on his huge, huge upside.
