Ealy is not the next Everette...he can play

[Jmac]

Give this kid an off season of strength training and a few pounds plus learning from our two top flight DE's, and he will show out.D G. Has found another gem with this one.People moaned when the pick came in,but just watch him develop.Kudos to D.G and R.R for having the foresight to grab this guy.

I was very disapointed by this pick but not anymore.

Ealy is really promising.

Hes already great at shedding blocks form 2/3s, I wanted moses, but knew no way dave would let ealy continue his fall. If he pans out it will double what hernay did in nine years form the second round. Plus with the HUGE questions at DE come next year at least ealy will help the super tough choices.

for a guy that i think we viewed as a slight project heading into camp i'm really excited

[Jackofalltrades]

Ealy has already done more in two preseason games than Everette "the Human Top" Brown ever did. Even when he's not involved in the play, he's around the ball and as a rookie that's a great sign.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Another solid showing from him

[French Navy]

He looks enormous on the field. Just another reason for QBs to fear us when he puts it all together.

Not sure how people hated the pick or is calling him a "project".

Ealy had some inconsistency at Mizzou which led to his fall, but the kid was a 1st round talent. Not trying to negate anything from Michael Sam, but Ealy was a big reason why Sam put up the numbers he did last year at Mizzou. Teams were doubling Ealy.

For a lot of teams, Ealy would be a day 1 starter. He's no way near being a raw player. Only problem right now is getting used to the speed of the game.

There is absolutely zero reason to be discouraged for Ealy after 2 preseason games.  This is a long term investment, and he is like the 4th or 5th option in the rotation right now.  He will be a player no doubt.

Hes going to take over for CJ or Hardy next year.  He better be a player.

yea and i think it's getting clearer and clearer it will be for Hardy.  We have a great rotation, easily top 5 in the league

I don't know dude.  CJ's contract is so atrocious, I could see them releasing him and signing Hardy to a long term deal.  Plus CJ is older.

Btw guys as this thread churns on Everette Brown just tried to spin move the ironing board on his way to the stove

It didn't work

[Stroupe-a-loop]

We also didn't give up a first for him, so happy times all around.
