Janarius Robinson(6-5,260) DE Florida State. Good athlete has the protypical size. Little raw needs more moves.The one thing that I love is this guys reach. He has 36 1/2 inch arms He has an edge over most o- lineman he will face
 
love his size.
my favorite de in the draft is notre dame's daelin hayes.
every irish game i watch he seems to make several plays.
 
What do you think Snowden from Virginia , for edge
I like him a lot, and have been picking him in round six in my mock drafts.

Overview
Versatile defender who has worked both open and closed sides as an even-front edge defender. Snowden is a long, smooth athlete dropping into space or transitioning with change of direction. Lower-body anchor is an issue and he needs more play strength, but he's usually first to land his hands and does an adequate job of separating and setting the edge. Despite having some twitch with his get-off as a rusher, he gets locked out of the cookie jar due to an inability to convert at the top of the rush with hand usage or go-to counters. However, he has excellent lateral quickness for use in twists and stunts and has surprising potential as a zone or man defender when asked. Snowden is an ascending prospect with Day 2 potential as a 3-4 outside linebacker, but his ceiling will be defined by whether he can add mass and improve his rush.
Strengths

  • Agile and smooth in space.

  • Good twitch up the field and into his rush.
  • Short-area acceleration gives him advantages in twist game.
  • Has traits to develop more effective inside move as a rusher.
  • Above-average pursuit with length to ensnare and finish.
  • Agile and effective as open-field tackler.
