You absolutely take NTs that high. Think the Bucs regret spending a top 12 pick on Vea? What about Baltimore and Haloti Ngata? Good DTs like those two and Brown affect the game in other ways than their own pass rush. They disrupt an offense, whether by pushing the pocket into the lap of the QB or redirecting run plays or simply taking on blockers to give other defensive players freedom to do work. DTs like Brown are unsung heroes because they don’t stockpile stats but they are one of the biggest impact players on a defense, and for more than a sack a game or so. The best pass rushers in history didn’t even get their precious sacks more than 1.5 times a game.

Don’t have to get sacks for a DT to be elite. They can have a profound impact on a defense without stats.

He’s elite for his role, which isn’t to be Aaron Donald and yet is still critical for those around him. Same way Star was great in a way that casuals couldn’t appreciate.

There was a time before he gave up meat he was supposedly around 260, solid muscle.

Oh, maybe he’s not now. He was when he played for us the first time around.

Anyone on the team is a better OC than Shula was. Worst OC ever

Is he? Cam’s 6’5.5, 250. I know burns is similar weight but I thought he was like 6’4. I recall Cam being a smidge bigger than Burns but I could be mistaken

Heh an even better pic would be Bryce and Cam

Imo, immediate reaction: Bryce: A Mingo: A- Johnson: B- Zavala: A Robinson: C Woulda preferred Darnell Washington over Johnson, but we needed a rusher more than TE so I understand. Robinson has potential, woulda preferred a guy that had potential to play outside CB, but hard to find one of those in the 5th heh

Prescient.

We needed a pass rusher, not a traditional LB

Compared to Will Anderson? In this world.

We’ll see. How much development has he had by NFL coaches?

Cuz that OLB isn’t what we need, a pass rusher. And the hyperbole is counterproductive. Johnson is way bigger and almost as fast

Just on a surface level he reminds me of Demarcus Ware. I’m NOT saying he’s as good or anything, just first quick impression on his movement ability and size

Just saw Simpson go to Baltimore, he’s not even the same type of player as Johnson. More of a traditional LB, we obviously wanted a pass rusher OLB. Simpson is way smaller.

Both of those takes are bad. They’ve got so much draft capital why not trade up for the best defensive player in the draft. Better to have one stud than three jags.

Well he’s definitely got quick hands…

Definitely could have been gone before 93, been a bit of a run on these rushing OLBs. I like the pick based on what they said about him on nfln and his physical profile. We’ll see how he develops

Good size, don’t know anything about him.

For my money Houston has the best draft so far, by a fair margin. Stroud AND Anderson is a coup

Yea I think Barno has a breakout year too

Might be the starter sooner rather than later. Hurst is solid but no all star. He’s the present, not the future.

Dunno why not, I like him a lot but he doesn’t have an obvious position in the new defense and we’re loaded at S. He’s not going to worth more than that, he hasn’t been lighting the league on fire since after his rookie season, even if we know he could be doing much better in a better scheme he hasn’t proven it yet.

Yea, at 39 I was hoping for Mingo or Washington. Flood our #1 QB with weapons like we should have done for Cam. Would love to trade Chinn straight up and take Washington or trade up from 93. No trading next year’s second though, it’s our first pick of the draft.
