"I would honestly take Benson right now, where they are with their careers."
Benson will be 27 before the season starts, Taco is 23 until nearly the end of the season. Benson is now with his 4th team, while Taco was pretty widely regarded as a 1st round pick by consensus.
I always like watching film breakdown, but feels like he was trying to be too dramatic. The speed of the NFL game and talent levels at T is a tough transition for even the most talented DL, especially DE that dont just get thrown at a Wide 9 formation and told to run really fast.
He was slow and out of his element a lot. He has a lot to work on. But he also showed his talent and he does have a decent swim move, regardless what this dude says, which was fairly common knowledge when he came out.
I'll worry in year 3. If he doesn't get better this year I'll eat my hat.
