Yea, I don’t think he’s getting enough credit for his hustle and motor. He’s always running to the ball no matter how far away it is.

Give him Bailey's spot. Let him play and improve.

The guy's a natural pass-rusher and gap penetrator. He utilizes spins, rips, swims as well as a devastating bull rush, however he isnt consistent in setting up his moves or in fact using the whole variety. He has natural instincts to shoot gaps, which at times makes him contort his body sideways which can get him in trouble. He has a broad moveset which just needs refining. Improve his technique and he will be elite imo.

I don't know how he compares to Suggs unless he's being compared to a slower, older version of him.

It wasn't a good move for Reid to compare him to Suggs. A top 10 pick to a mid 2nd rounder? It just increases unrealistic expectations.

I agree. That was my biggest frustration with Dorsey. Using high picks on guys that weren't ready is frustrating as hell. That's what later round picks are for. KPass, Jones, Ford, etc... None of them were ready year one. Jones took off year 2. Ford had a good 3rd year before getting hurt. And now we're going to be moving this years 2nd round pick above Tanoh in the depth chart while he develops. I won't complain about drafting a quarterback at 10 that needed a year to develop because that one looks like a home run. But seriously, with the roster churning every year due to free agency, retirement, declining abilities, etc., you just can't be using your high picks on guys that won't be ready for 2+ years.

I like that he seems to be more ready to go than the past few pass rushing picks.
He may not have the upside of being a pro bowl pass rush type guy, but just a good solid player will do. |

I've come around to being okay with this pick. Of course, this pick wouldn't be necessary if we hadn't of used our 2nd last year on a waste of a project like Kpass.

I can't help but see Hali in Speaks, I really like this pick. Not flashy but he's a guy that's just going to keep hammering and never give up. |

Although, at some point, you've gotta hit a certain threshold of athletic ability which as we saw with Hali once it's gone, it sucks. I think this will be a good pick. I don't know that it'll be a cornerstone defensive player pick but that's not what you always need. |

We need good role players bc this defense really fell apart once our role players in the last wave left (Husain Abdullah, Tyvone Branch, Mike DeVito, Sean Smith). I think these draft picks were made in mind to just come in and do their job well so they can replace the awful production from last year. |

I’d like to see us go for the homeruns with next year’s picks though. Even if that means being aggressive and trading up again. |
