Sophomore DLs Barmore, Rousseau

[Ring6]

Some may prefer more experienced linemen such as Marvin Wilson to contribute year 1.

These two very young Defensive Linemen may need seasoning to eventually meet expectations. Still, one of these may be a tempting tradedown target. Rousseau seems to be a prototype end with huge size. Barmore could probably play anywhere.

Tyler Shelvin huge NT from LSU could be available in the 3rd.

DL is supposedly not a strength in this draft, but it sure would be nice to come away with two of 'em.

Im alot more interested in Barmore now that his stock is looking like 2nd round

Bad year to need DTs. We're better off spending a few dollars in free agency on a lineman than painting ourselves into a corner of drafting one.

We should’ve gone after Danny Shelton

Shelvin doesn’t give you much as a pass rusher but he is a monster against the run. Highest graded run defender in SEC at DT.

He’s someone I’d keep an eye on in mid rounds.

Shelvin/Davis are those traditional NT's that Nolan would covet for his scheme.

I hope so...we've been allergic to those types of players in prior years.

Let's hope that and an actual high level safety which they have also ignored.

lol agreed

We're still on the traditional NT thing?

These guys are useless.

The current top 3 defenses in the NFL in YPG and PPG allowed (Colts, Rams, Ravens) all employ traditional NTs. I personally feel a fatass NT that demands a double team with a pass rushing 3-Tech next to him is the combo to go.

Shelvin and Parsons with Holland/Boehrig in the second sounds like a great top 3 picks

Neither the Colts nor the Rams do. The Ravens rank 22nd in YPC.

A fatass NT doesn't get double teamed because they are so easily sealed. I agree that you want a 1-tech, but you draw a double by being able to penetrate and disrupt.

I think wed have to compare other 2 gap defenses. I dont know what those teams run but it seems we arent looking for penetrating DTs anymore. (Another reason Hill needs to go)

We just drafted Gallimore though.

True. I dont know what theyre doing lol. I just know I dont want Hill on the team anymore.

I think Shelvin would be a good compliment to Gallimore who we just drafted. Gallimore has some pass rush potential but I don't think he has the anchor to consistently impact the running game. Shelvin gives you a bit of the opposite and you hope he can develop more as a pass rusher.

Dontari Poe was just here for 6 weeks and was supposed to turn the page on that previous thinking. AFTER he leaves is when the defense started playing well.

Yup, he was a miss. Hope that doesn’t stop up from being aggressive in FA moving forward.

A lot will depend on if Nolan stays on as the team's DC. MM has stated he wants a multiple defense and is unwilling to change from that. Saying this, they are going to target a natural NT who can play in any alignment. Shelvin is an ideal fit for that role. It wouldn't surprise me if they double dipped at the position and even have certain alignments where both on the field.
