Kiper's new mock 2.0

[Primetime42]

False. They are both OLB options for a 3-4. Calling them "pass rushing" options is misleading.

Sure, they can rush the passer in the same way Scandrick rushes the passer. But you don't call Scandrick a pass rusher.

3-4 OLB skill set is not the same as a pass rushing skill set. You either fail to understand that or refuse to acknowledge it.

If you are drafting either of those players for the pass-rushing skill set, then neither of those players are worth a top 15 pick because neither have elite much less plus pass rushing skills.

If you want to draft them for their 3-4 OLB skill set, then you won't hear anything from me. I'll disagree that it is worth drafting a player at 14 that won't improve what we have when we have other holes on this team, but I won't dispute your preference.

But if you want to draft them for their pass-rushing skill set at 14, then that is just stupid because neither of them have top 15 pass rushing skill sets. There are better pass rushers later in the draft (e.g., Irvin).

Meh.

I'd just as soon take Mercilus.

Disagree. No trade ups for anybody. We need a full draft class.

Cordy Glenn isn't a bad consolation prize. I may actually prefer him.

So trade down in the 2nd and regain what was lost if you must.

I'd rather have an elite.
