Sources Tell Us

"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.

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

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.

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.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
