So much talk about Downs. Are we overlooking our other 1st rounder?

The question is, will this guy be another DeMarcus Lawrence or Greg Ellis, or will he be another Shante Carver/Kavika Pittman/Taco Charlton?

I don't think pure strength works in the NFL like it used to. They'll have to get him some NFL techniques, especially arms/upper body.

See Mazi.

You either got it or you ain’t.

Lawrence is a starter-kit.

He has the athleticism of a rookie Von Miller - but he needs refined. Like a beautiful uncut gemstone.

We likely won’t know what Lawrence is until year 3 - unless he is a welcome surprise who goes from small school athletic marvel with tools to good NFL player immediately. Which has happened before, but is rare.

I am personally preparing for the “LAWRENCE IS A BUST!!!” posts that will happen if he doesn’t flash as a rookie.

Post of the day, very good point!!! And how long will it take him to develop, will he do good, then have a year that's a drop-off, will he be consistent!?

Would have been better if I didn't forget Ebenezer Ekuban.

Lawrence will likely take some time to learn. He wasn't dominant in college.

So another Taco.
