Question regarding DT's

[CrazyCowboy]

Without being Cowboy biased, who got the best DT? Cincinnati with Lawrence or Dallas with Williams. I really like both and honestly don't know who is better. Thoughts?

If you're going by the past, I'd say Lawrence is better. But going by last year, I'm not sure he isn't washed up. Have to see how he plays this upcoming season.

Good question and I dont have the answer. But I will say this- and I'm not trying to sound like Stephen.

I like our guy.

Dexter Lawrence is DT #1 in the league IMO. A NT who is a dominant pass rusher is impossible contend with

 

[Tabascocat]

Dexter but it isn’t by that much.

 

[Cebrin]

They're both very skilled players. Football is a team sport. It will all be about chemistry, scheme, and the players around them to define which one will have a bigger impact. I'd be happy with either.

Pretty equal.

Coin flip. Before last season I would have said Lawrence, but a down year from him (although still good compared to the rest of the league) would make me want the safer option in Q.

If Lawrence can rebound he may be the best in football, but a 350lb man approaching age 30 could simple be past his prime as well.

They were in the same draft, Quinnen was considered a top 3T dominant DT and he has been. Lawrence went later in the first and was a NT, he improved his pass rush and had two 2nd team all pro's. Quinnen has one 1st team all pro selection.

Dallas gave up a 1st and a 2nd for Williams. We need to see what pick that may be.
Bengals gave up pick 10 overall.

We seen how Williams improved the run defense. Depends on what Lawrence does for the Bengals as we know.

But as far as draft capital who gave up more.

I really do not like either trade at this point. I think Dallas gave up too much.
But pick 10 overall, maybe they think the draft is not as deep in the top 10.

Remember a 2nd this year while having the player for games and a 1st in next year's draft which is a 2nd this year while having the player for that season also prior to the draft.

2 2nd rounders coming from picks in the 20's won't get you up to pick 10 overall. We did better in our trade and have the younger more cost effective player who is happy to be here.

Sexy Dexy is a beast though.

 

[JoeKing]

I decide this by asking which player has the better career moving forward. I think that's Williams.

Not going with your man? He’s younger and last year wasn’t his best so far but he did have the shoulder injuries.

I know the Titans are happy with Simmons

Q is top five but I’d put Simmons, Lawrence and Carter ahead of him.

They’re all pretty close but in hindsight, we probably overpaid a bit for Q since Dex just went for the same compensation

#44 this year and #20 next year is almost exactly the same as #10.

Im guessing that the better of our firsts next year will be around 20. I sure hope so anyway

If we crater then we definitely overpaid

Never underestimate the ability of the Jets to make a player look worse than he is.

The value is the same if it is current years picks but future picks are valued less in trades

He’s still untapped potential. Maybe top 5

It’s about the scheme as much as talent, going to have to wait and see about this one
