[WOW!!]

Now I like this in guy in the 2nd round if you go offense in the 1st..

I see some JPP in his game..

[Saca312]

The more I watch him, the more my view moves from him being a solid rotational piece to a full time starter. He has qualities that may allow him to excel in the NFL.

[TheSpecialJuan]

According to Jourdan, Eric Washington is personally working him out.

lets get it then

"He is similar to Carl Lawson but I think you can get him probably a couple of rounds later or maybe more. I think he can still get a lot better as a pass rusher." -- NFC area scout

Bottom Line

Basham has the strength and length to play as a 4-3 base end or as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but his pass rush approach will need to be sharpened as he lacks the flexibility to bend the edge and attack the pocket with athleticism alone. Basham may never produce a high sack total, but his alpha playing style will appeal to teams looking to groom a solid backup with starter's potential.

I'm telling you the trade down option is good if we can get it and get another 2nd and and a 3rd or 4th..

If fournette doesn't make it to 8.. Trade down get a Ross or Nijkuo in the 1st and add this guy a safety and a RB in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.. We would be set..

Sounds like a perfect prospect you Groom when most of your starters are on the wrong side of 30... Hmmmmm

Right. You see what our front office is thinking here. If Solomon Thomas or Jonathan Allen are gone @8 (most likely will) they will select a developmental DE in later rounds instead of reaching for lets say Derek Barnett.

Now we can disagree there.. I don't think taking Barnett in the top 10 is a reach.. I like him over everybody not name fournette.. But if we traded down and got Basheam I would be happy as well.

Top 20 name in this year's draft.

Kony Ealy is gone because he couldnt get to the quarterback

and Basham is a small scool project whom at the next level is definetly not getting to the quarterback with his skill set or talent.the only way this is possible if the kid masters the bull rush,and i wouldnt be willing to make a second round bet on that happening.

however,the kid is strong as an ox and  should excel at containg the edge and forcing the runner back inside

Brees,Winston,and Ryan is whom u need to take into consideration whenever your scouting a DE for Carolina .so,a kid like Hendrickson in the latter rounds makes more since than Basham.
