Which DE is worth a shot in this years draft

I'm not a draft guru and do not follow the pre-draft  speculation closely. Wirh Ealy gone, that leaves Addison, Johnson, Peppers, and Horton. Add Delaire to the mix I guess, and that's the DE group.

What do those who follow this stuff feel they can get with one of their many picks who is worth a damn. Johnson is older and injury prone, Peppers going on 37. Horton not a pass rusher and Delaire is a jag. Addison is the guy on the rise. What can we expect DG to do in the draft to infuse the spot with new talent.

I feel like I've posted this in every thread but my opinion is Taco Charleton. While I do believe Solomon Thomas is going to be a good player as well, Charleton just has that prototype DE size and athletic ability Gettleman covets

Yeah Charleton has the frame of a JPP,  Ziggy Ansah, or Chandler Jones. I don't want him but he is a true 4-3 DE

There is Myles Garrett and then there is a mile and a half distance to the next set of DE's.  Whether Solomon or Barnette, I am not crazy about either at 8.  If Fornette, Admas and Hooker are gone, I'd love to drop back to 12 w Cleveland, picking up an early 3rd.

at 12,  Solomon or Barnette, OJ Howard or a WR would all represent good value

Taco doesn't have just the prototype size. The guy can flat out play. I've watched plenty of Michigan games, the guy is straight dominant against top flight competition. He's an absolute force. Again this doesn't mean Solomon Thomas is trash, he has a serious motor and can certainly get after the QB. I would be more than excited to get any one of these guys, with Barnett being behind both of them.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
