I remember Drake Jackson going a pick before Cook. That one hurt. He missed most of last year, and is starting on the PUP. But he sure flashed his rookie year |

But we're back to this somewhat chicken or egg thing. Had he been drafted by Baltimore or KC and in their system.....where's he at? I've come to the conclusion that alot of this is just pure "where you get drafted" and if you do in fact get drafted to one of these handful of teams and flame out....well that's on you. |

He seemed to have a nice start getting 3 sacks on only 236 snaps as a rookie. You can just throw out last years tape since he isn’t a LB. Kid could be a 3-5 sack guy here, and at DE4 (at best) for a 7th? That’s a steal |

All motor and tenacity. So yeah, I think had we taken him instead of Skyy, we'd probably have a solid rotational player on our hands. Maybe someone very similar to Danna. But those 2 years of development are gone. That does diminish his ceiling and who he'll ever be at this point. That said, at 24 with 2 years of team control, you have a fairly nice little piece of clay to work with here, IMO. I'm guessing the Cardinals took weight off him to get him to play OLB (whereas I would've tried to add weight and have him play 3-tech if I were committed to an odd front; man the Cardinals were goofy here). Would be nice if you could get him into camp next year around 280. That's where I think he can really be impactful. He's not the speed rusher I keep waiting for us to get, but another SDE sort. |

Yeah - that's just a pretty easy decision. I really just do not understand why Arizona didn't bulk him up and move him in-line. He's not a linebacker. There was never any reason to think he would be. Then again, we did the same thing with Speaks. Sometimes teams just get it wrong. |

Neat. Arizona ****s up their defensive prospects every year it seems.

The whole "Jack of All Trades" thing just rarely works out with prospects. These college guys that just run around at every position and make plays never seem to translate terribly well. |

Haason Reddick was far more egregious. They had a kid capable of double digit sacks yearly playing off ball LB. Just complete idiocy in that organization

Two cheap cost-controlled years for a guy who might very well outproduce FAU....
I'll happily take it for a 7th. As mentioned in other threads, just happy they didn't hold and hope and instead addressed this before the games start to matter. |

Look at the elite "move around" guys that have worked out. They just had instincts coming out their ass. |
