4-3 DEs in the Draft

I think Taco ends up getting drafted a lot higher than people are anticipating right now. Imo he's by far the most athletic defensive end behind Garrett. 

Hes got that long athletic look to him similar to JPP. I think more people will be talking about him after the combine and deservingly so. 

I know Tanoh is everyone's flavor of the week right now but this kid has a long way to go before he's capable of making a consistent impact. I think he ends up going a lot higher than he should

Hall is 6'5" 265 and Walker is 6'4" 280. Not sure his frame is bad for the NFL, seems like if he can pressure the QB and has the size to hold the edge on run defense. All he's played is outside, not sure why he'd move inside. I don't know why, but I'd love to see him drop. Maybe Hall will be solid as he was more effective in 2015 and had a decent amount of pressures this year. I just think it is funny that Walker seems to be dropping, that may stop at the combine or he may be one of those steals because he can get after the QB against top teams, no doubt about that.

I expected all along Walker could fall to the third.  Absolutely love this kid, has a very high motor and steps it up when it gets tough.  He isn't going to blow up the combine.  Isn't the longest fastest etc.  and is going to cause him to drop

On paper Walker sounds good from a measurables standpoint but he's built like a Jonathan Bullard who fell last year.  When I say frame, I'm not just speaking to the height and weight combo.  IMO, he's a 3 & 5 tech type.  Really like him though.

Walker is definitely a DE and plays like a DE. I'm basically saying he has the ability to play 3-tech. We would sometimes rotate Hardy inside if my memory serves me correctly so it could be something similar.

If we don't re-sign KK that could be beneficial. A type to roll inside on passing downs when we bring in Addison.

I'll need to read up on him more. I won't claim I watched FSU intently so I'm interested. Good convo

Versatility is a good thing. I don't recall ever seeing him inside like Solomon Thomas and his bio mentioned 2015 starting at DE every game. I'm not sure he'd play well inside because I don't know if he has at all.

He played some inside on 3rd and longs very much similar how we did with Hardy on those Nascar Packages

Gotcha, I might not have noticed that or they didn't do it much in the bowl game (last game I watched). So, not like Thomas and Bullard who played inside, but like a DE where they move him inside for passing downs.

Yep.  I'm comparing him to Bullard in his his build. I don't see him being a 1-gap but may be a strictly 3-tech type.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
