DE Vic Beasley for 2015 draft

[Nirvana]

This kid looks like the pass rusher we need more of. Plays for Clemson. He'll go high first for sure.

fwiw, he's a LB in the NFL to me. It can be to a 4-3 team, and they can use him like the Broncos use Von Miller or the Seahawks use Bruce Irvin, but he's too small to play DE imo.

As the game went on, however, Beasley's rare burst and underrated combination of hand play and upper body strength began to take over.

At 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, Beasley is often characterized as just a pass rusher. As such, he's been projected by many, including NFLDraftScout.com, as a potential outside linebacker convert. Beasley is alert and competitive against the run, as well, however, as he showed with his first impact play of the game.

With Erving blocking down on the defensive tackle, Beasley took on and easily shed a block from tight end Nick O'Leary. He showed an explosive punch to shuck the 6-foot-3, 244-pound tight end immediately, helping to stop Seminoles' running back Mario Pender at the line of scrimmage.

Moments later Beasley used his trademark burst wreak havoc in the passing game, zipping by Erving for an 11-yard sack on 3rd and 7 to force a punt. Despite playing in front of a friendly home crowd, Erving was late off the snap and barely touched Beasley, who raced past him, turned the corner and brought down Maguire for the sack. A few series later, Beasley beat Erving for another sack, his 23rd career QB takedown, most among active FBS defenders.

On this sack (which came with approximately 1:40 remaining in the first half), Beasley showed an impressive slap and rip move to break through Erving's punch and cross the athletic left tackle's face. Off-balance, Erving could only attempt to push Beasley wide. Beasley's speed and flexibility, however, allowed him to circle the offensive tackle and track down Maguire.

Yeah if he's only 235 that's OLB territory in a 3-4.

He put on one hell of a show tonight.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I know he had 2 first half sacks, did he get any more?

 

[sureletsrace]

He looked fantastic against FSU.

The whole Clemson defensive front 7 did. That linebacker, #42 Anthony I think, was a beast in the middle.

My question can play at 250? Preferably a fee pounds. Excellent pass rush prospect if he can. Could also be a Leo if thats something they want to add. 2 down SAM and put his hand in the dirt on passing downs
