Who is the best front 7 run defender in this year's class?

Brugler says he'll be a top 12 pick

Dane had him at 15 in his last mock. Did get a chance to watch him, think he is more of a top 20 player, but is behind the likes of Pearce/Green for me.

There is a difference between a big board and a mock. Big Board is supposed to be all about talent; and a mock is your best guess at who picks what and when

I am not as high on Hunter as many are; I think he could be excellent at CB and about as good at WR but not a real blue chip at one or the other. Carter is to me about the most sure thing. Graham I think has the highest floor. But really that is it. Those three and honestly none of them to me say can't miss.

I took a look at the DTs from last years draft. Fiske was pretty good and Sweat did pretty well also. In one game I watched they were saying the Rams were having a hard time getting pressure because Fiske was injured so he was definitely making a difference as a rookie. Newton and Jenkins weren't too bad either, we get a lot of Bengals games and Jenkins sat out for a thumb injury early on but played well when he got in the game later on.

Name Pick G GS TKL Solo SCK TFL QBHits
Byron Murphy II 16 14 9 36 12 0.5 2 1
T'Vondre Sweat 38 17 16 51 22 1 4 3
Jer'Zhan Newton 36 16 11 44 19 2 6 7
Braden Fiske 39 17 8 44 20 8.5 10 10
Kris Jenkins 49 15 9 31 10 3 3 5

 

[Proof]

Harmon is more balanced and could play either spot, but the Michigan boys are on another level as run defenders. Ohio State tried to run right at them and couldn't run the football what so ever.

but there's also the context of them playing together, right?

He had some off the field issues, but you’re right…I think hes going to win a few all pros. Freaking monster.

i was so angry watching his slide.

Yes, who you play next to matters.
