Yeah

Haynes is 6'3, but he did say post draft he was aiming to come into camp at 240-245

For comparison 

Vic Beasley is 6'3 245

Is Beasley a 4-3 DE though?

Real question tho, how did Everette Brown look in training camp? I don't remember. 

He always looked like a spinning top with or without pads

Yes Vic Beasley is a 4-3 DE. He played OLB last year with the Falcons and it didn’t end well. The year before he had 15 sacks with his hand in the dirt. Haynes is similar to Vic, Harold Landry, and Von Miller as far as speed and size. Haynes is strong for a guy that’s 6’3 and only weighs 235.

I was thinking the Falcons had moved him around.

Dude had 32 sacks and 48 TFL at Ole Miss.

Haynes was 20 pounds lighter going into the Combine than Everette Brown was and both were 6'2". Brown tested a little stronger, but Haynes tested a little more explosive, quicker, and faster.

I really liked Haynes as a 3-4 OLB prospect and I was surprised that he lasted until late in the 4th with his production and measurables. Like I said before, I just hope we can figure out a way to use him.

They did often last season but he just not an OLB. The Falcons drafted Duke Reily last year he is in that same mold of a Deion Jones and Kwon Alexander. I would assume he takes over and have a pretty solid season with Vic moving back to DE with Tak.

He will definitely play DE. The biggest difference between Brown and Haynes is that Haynes seems to have more functional strength at the point of attack. His hand usage is a lot better and the competition in the SEC is better as well. Haynes could really become a factor at DE this season if he stays healthy and continue to add to that frame.

He's both.  He started as a OLB 2 years ago when he was the NFL sack leader. He'd move to 4-3 on 3rd and long pass rushing downs.  But mostly was a joker LB

[mc52beast]

Mike Remmers would stone him

[PizzaTheHutt]

I can't wait to see this dude in a few preseason games. Given some time to develop, he might be the best thing to come to us from Ole Miss since Greg Hardy

(with none of Hardy's weirdness or drama).

Brown tried to get by with that ridiculous ass spin move. When that didnt work his career was dead to rights. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Haynes is exactly what we have needed the last couple years. A guy with extreme quickness off the edge. 

[Mr. Scot]

Everette Brown came to us courtesy of Ron Meeks. Meeks was trying to build a defense like the Colts and Brown was going to be our version of Dwight Freeney.

Didn't exactly work out.
