so pick #19 rolls around and you are picking a DL...who do you take? the 2nd ranked DE or 2nd ranked DT?
 
DaRon Payne.
we don't have a wrecking ball like that.
Taco has a bright future,in my opinion.
I do think they get DLaw done.
as much as I like Harold Landry....and I would run thru my neighborhood if we got him....DaRon Payne is a game changer.
He could be this generation of Cowboy fans Russell Maryland.
He could be Randy White to Taco's Too Tall and DLaw's Harvey Martin.
 
I think Taco will be a solid run stopping 10+/- sack player. Plus Gregory should be back.
 
Landry didn't really impress me. Heard he was injured last year, maybe that was it, maybe not.
 
Landry and it's not close.

Pass rushing DE is like an Unicorn. Every team is constantly in search of one.

Yes, DT such as Aaron Donald would be preferred over Landry but Payne is not Donald.
Furthermore, I don't even know what Payne is?! He is an enigma. He's shown up in 2-3 games out of his entire Alabama career.
 
I don't know why exactly, but I think Taco is going to be a lot better all around player than most people are expecting.
His meaurables outside of his 40 are very good and in line with similar builds of top end pass rushing RDE's. I think people get hung up on his 40. He is very explosive
 
This one is hard,i think Payne will make the immediate impact but Landry may shine under some good coaching.
 
Let me remind some of you.. of our DE's

Lawerence (franchise tag)
Taco (coming off a rookie year)
Crawford (bum)
Ealy (1 year rental)
Tapper (can't stay healthy)
Gregory (can't stay off the pipe)
That’s why I want one in round 3-4. There will be guys in that range with talent. Guy from Oklahoma, josh sweat, etc. we can do the same list you did with the DTs. And Crawford isn’t a bum even though I’m not a fan of his
 
Landry. Good coaches/coordinators will find a way to get pressure players on the field.

Though I'm tempted by Payne's demonstrated dominance of 5 TFL and 3 sacks in 39 games.
I dont think having Taco and Lawrence get 700+ snaps will inhibit getting Landry on the field at all. Him and Taco rush from different gaps and Landry could possibly be a LEO
