Agree to disagree .. 

Of course if you're a 4-3 team you don't get a OLB from a 3-4 and play him full time at DE..

That's why i said Pass Rushers instead specific OLB or DE's.. Pass Rusher can be a DT from the inside like Warren Sapp.. 

Pass Rushers in general will always provide more value than MLB..

If you have Jpep and Luke on the board .. You go Jpep everytime.. 

Jpep v Luke agree  go jpep. If both tier 1 pep wins. I don't remember but was there another jpep when we took Luke? Doubtful, so take tier one over a reach to a second tier

40 times for DL dont mean crap to me

But some other items stick out

Broad jump
That can help show explosion out the gate

Allen- 108
Thomas- 126

20 yard shuttle
Shows quickness and burst

Allen- 4.5
Thomas- 4.28

3 cone drill

Allen- 7.49
Thomas- 6.95

Bench- Power
I've always said this him day 1 this fall. Thomas has the best hands out of any DL im this draft. Suh has made a living off his punch and hand strength. Thomas has the same. Thomas's favorite hobby outside of football is boxing and it shows with his powerful punch

Allen- 21
Thomas- 30


4-3 DE its a no brainer your taking Thomas

     If he were a DT, this post might make sense. He's a DE that can push inside on passing downs. Something we absolutely need. 

I don't even care if he is a DT in our defense. He's too talented to ignore. Passing on guys like that is what can set a franchise back. Again let me remind you that we had a pro bowl MLB when we drafted Kuechly.
Still, I think Allen will be gone along with Adams and Fournette. I predict we are choosing between Hooker and Thomas.

    • The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure
    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
