Wow. I thought he was 6-0. He's a hell of a player but he'll never be a Cowboy.

Wouldn't say that, off ball LB is a need and he would still be a hell of a blitzer even of he can't play tradional edge.

I could see him being a round 2 target

Unfortunately he doesn't fit their metrics.

So was Micah.

Parsons was 6-3, 246 and ran a 4.36 forty.

Pace (expected) 6-0, 235.

To the eye it looked like a 4.8 tbh

 

[Risen Star]

Micah was drafted to play both positions. They stressed it at the press conference that night. He was their #1 pressure player.

Van Ness running a 4.64 at 6’ 5” 270 lbs pretty impressive as well.

I'm actually shocked by Lukas Van Ness too.

So far, I don't really have any contrarian takes with the draft-industrial complex this year. In my head, I'm grading about what they are grading. Van Ness was the one where I felt like the entire internet was gaslighting me... draft media is saying top 20 pick, and I'm looking at the film thinking he's a 3rd round rotational end.

But a 4.64 40 at 6'5" 270... that makes me take a step back. I didn't think he'd be that caliber of athlete.

They're similar in size, rush the passer and play the run well, that's all. Like I said, I'd take Smith at 26. But Pace is a monster and I think underrated, and I have no idea how he'll test but... 136 tackles, 20 TFL, 9 sacks. He had, like, 53 pressures or something, and the guy is relentless. He plays HARD.

Micah was an off-ball LB too. Quinn knows how to use those guys.

Smith just ran 4.44, btw.

Ivan Pace 5-10-1/2"

Nolan Smith 6'2"

Nolan Smith… Asthmafield pet cat… RIP

I swear, I’m going to stop even trying to find guys that I like.

Ivan Pace 5-10-1/2"

Nolan Smith 6'2"

Yeah, I thought Pace was 6-0.

Von Miller:

6'3" 246
4.42 40 time
37" vert
10' 6" broad
6.70 3 cone

Nolan Smith:

6'2" 238
4.44 40 time
41" vert
10' 8" broad
??? 3 cone

We are legitimately looking at a Von Miller caliber speed rusher here.

I don’t see how Nolan Smith drops anywhere near us but who knows.

you should have stopped at Aaron Donald.

If Nolan Smith is as good as people claim (I don't agree).....why would he be at 26 with those measurables?

He won't. No way.

Absolutely. But Miller‘s bend on the edge is what takes him to another level.

Von Miller also had 33 career sacks at ATM.
