Speaking of speedy, undersized guys...

[Mr. Scot]

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?

[The Huddler]

I dont like it. He would be thrown around like a rag doll.

Idgaf how athletic he is. If you have 300 pounders coming to try and kill you..

[The Huddler]

What happens when he gets double teamed?

[Mr. Scot]

What happens when he gets double teamed?

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

[The Huddler]

That's when you def know he's a stud. Duh no one gonna double a scrub

Tahd.

[The Huddler]

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

 

[The Huddler]

Granted, i know nothing of this 235 pound guy..

But thats like Luke Keuchly at DE and i just cant visualize it. I need to do my homework on the Dline prospects, as ive been caught up with the WRs..

But poo dude.. 235?

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, no thanks to him at DE in a 4-3.  Like Mayock said, he's more of a Leo LB in something Jacksonville is expected to run.  He's smaller than Luke.  He'll get manhandled in the NFL at DE.

[Mr. Scot]

Hate to say it, but my sense is that the college game has been producing more 3-4 OLBs than 4-3 DEs for a while now.

[KillerKat]

He'd have to switch to OLB

[Mr. Scot]

He'd have to switch to OLB

I haven't researched him. Has he ever played linebacker?

[davos]

Yep..he sounds like a Jack LB
