Legitimate?  Maybe.  Probably not.  But I can't say I wouldn't throw a 5th at that possibility as one mentioned would suffice in the blink of an eye.

Don't know anything about him apart from being an OLB. If he can contribute on ST and legitimately brings more to the table then I'm all for it.

They run a 3-4 and we run a 4-3.  He was on the short list of first round possibilities at DE last year along with Ogbah, the Henry's, and the pick, Butler.

Hes a DE

 

its these stupid ass 3-4 teams taking hand in dirt 4-3 DEs and trying to turn them in to stand up OLB pass rushers. It ruins them. The NFL is hard enough. Dont take a young guy and make him play out of position. Dropping back into coverage is not something a DE should be doing.

Kid is a prototypical 4-3 SDE 

Horrible fit for a 3-4 OLB.

Would Love to have him if we could pawn off a late pick.  But who would we get rid of for him? Horton?  Were pretty deep at DE 

He was a full hands in dirt DL.  His teamate Shaq Lawson wouldve been the better fit at OLB.  Considering he moved around and stood up and rushed as much as had his hands down

Absolutely get rid of Horton if possible to get Dodd.

Kid is a Kony Ealy clone.  

Not sure how his work ethic is compared to Ealy.

 

Ealy: quietly had 9.5 sacks his last year over shadowed by the other DE.  

6'4 273  34 1/4 arms 4.92 (combine 40), bench 22, 31 vert, 4.45 shuttle.

 

Dodd: overshadowed by Lawson, 12.5 sacks to end

6'5 277  34 arms  4.86 (combine 40), bench 22, 30.5 vert, 4.44 shuttle

He's worth getting for a 5th rounder or later. DE could and be and probably will be our most pressing need next year with Peppers and/or CJ being gone.

What is a deep group this year may not be close next year. Horton isn't garbage, but he's not a starting level DE either. Dodd could be in a 4-3.

If we swing a trade, my first preference by far would be a legit starting caliber outside WR to pair with KB. My second preference would be a legit starting caliber outside corner to pair with Bradberry. DE would be waaaaaaaay down the list.

Dodd's work ethic in college was great. Not sure now. Would take a physical clone of Ealy in an instant.  Even with 2 teams cutting bait, 25% off teams put a waiver claim on Ealy. Guys with the physical makeup to be a good pass rusher and still stout enough to stop the run don't come along all the time.

I agree with you in terms of this year, but DE could instantly be top need again next year.

Let's get'em he's has way more upside then the kony ealy

I agree, but if a team is willing to throw in the towel on him this early I'll pass given our current depth chart. We're already probably going to end up cutting a player we'd like to keep.
