Speaking of speedy, undersized guys...

Randy Gregory weighed in at the Combine at only 235.

He ran a 4.57 in the 40. Dante Fowler was close to that at 4.61 but weighed in at 261 1/2.

Granted, there's time to add bulk, but on general principle how comfortable would you be with a 4-3 defensive end who weighed under 250?

Would you need to double a guy who's probably smaller than your tight end?

If he can be handled and taken care of by one guy every play why am I drafting him?

Perhaps as a passrush specialist on 3rd downs but im not investing a highpick in this guy and expecting him to be a 3 down DE.

What should I expect when the other team decides to run power to his side?

Agree. If he's setting the edge, I'm audibling a power sweep to his side and picking up at least 5 or 6 yards all day long

Dave Gettleman wants hog mollies.  Just look at the Giants' DEs during his time there.  Pretty much all of them had prototypical NFL 4-3 DE size.  So does Kony Ealy who he drafted in the 2nd round last year.  235 does not equal hog mollie.  That guy isn't playing DE.  He's gonna be a LB in the NFL, probably a 3-4 OLB.  If you can't hold up at the point of attack, Dave Gettleman doesn't want you.  Sucks about Greg Hardy's off field issues, because he's the perfect Gettleman DE.

    • I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
    • lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
